Receiver operating characteristic curves for PCT, CRP, IL-6, WBC, and I/T ratio. The area under the curve for PCT (0.921) was significantly higher than those for CRP (0.853; ), IL-6 (0.739; ), WBC (0.692; ), and I/T ratio (0.584; ). PCT: procalcitonin; CRP: C-reactive protein; IL-6: interleukin-6; WBC: white blood cell count; I/T ratio: immature and total neutrophil ratio.
