Time from symptom onset may influence c-reactive protein utility in the diagnosis of bacterial infections in the nicu

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Shelley Borowski from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the research work: Time from symptom onset may influence C-reactive protein utility in the diagnosis of bacterial infections in the NICU, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors aimed to examine the yield of CRP relative to time from symptoms onset.
• how: For a given ROC curve the authors used formulas based on Bayes` theorem the LR was calculated using the formula (positive LR=sensitivity/1 - specificity negative LR=1 - sensitivity/specificity) and the resulting post-test probability for bacterial infection (pretest probability/[1 . . .
