Abstract
- Postoperative Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome leads to an elevation in biomarkers in the absence of infection.
- Procalcitonin and interleukin-6 maximal peak values occur quicker than C-reactive protein maximal peak.
- The largest elevation of biomarkers occurs after dirty surgery and abdominal surgery.
- Procalcitonin showed no significant increase after ClS and ClCoS.
- Procalcitonin seems to be a useful tool to guide diagnosis of nosocomial sepsis after surgery.
