Soluble CD14 as a Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker in Hematological Patients with Febrile Neutropenia

Figure 3

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis comparing sCD14 (continuous line), procalcitonin (sparsely dotted line) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (densely dotted line) predicting the development of septic shock on d1. For sCD14, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.959 (95% CI 0.902–1.000) with SD 0.029 and value 0.007 to differentiate patients developing septic shock. For procalcitonin, the AUC was 0.910 (0.819–1.000) with SD 0.047 and value 0.017. For CRP, the AUC was 0.716 (0.354–1.000) with SD 0.186 and value 0.202 (nonsignificant), respectively.
