Pancreatic Stone Protein for Predicting Perioperative Infection in Cardiac Surgery
2022 06 Dec
According to the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC), sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.

Pancreatic Stone Protein Testing Reduces Expenditure in Sepsis
2022 02 Aug
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction and a cause of significant morbidity and mortality. In addition, the high number of sepsis cases is a significant economic burden for healthcare systems. Statistics show that sepsis was the most expensive condition treated in the U.S. in 2013, costing nearly $24 billion. An analysis of Medicare claims... Read more
Accuracy of Pancreatic Stone Protein for Diagnosis of Infection
2022 12 Jul
Severe infections cause significant morbidity and mortality among hospitalised patients. Early detection of life-threatening infections is crucial to improving outcomes. However, none of the circulating blood biomarkers that have been investigated have been found to detect life-threatening infection quickly or accurately. Despite sub-optimal results,... Read more
