Admission procalcitonin measurements and microbiology results were available for 1040 hospitalized adults with coronavirus disease 2019 (from 48 902 included in the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infections Consortium World Health Organization Clinical Characterisation Protocol UK study). Although procalcitonin was higher in bacterial coinfection, this was neither clinically significant (median [IQR], 0.33 [0.11-1.70] ng/mL vs 0.24 [0.10-0.90] ng/mL) nor diagnostically useful (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.56 [95% confidence interval, .51-.60]).
1040例2019冠状病毒病住院成人患者(来自国际严重急性呼吸和新发感染联盟世界卫生组织临床特征方案英国研究纳入的48902例患者)有入院时降钙素原测量值和微生物学结果。虽然细菌合并感染时降钙素原较高,但这在临床上既无显著意义(中位数[四分位间距],0.33[0.11 - 1.70]ng/mL对0.24[0.10 - 0.90]ng/mL),在诊断上也无用处(受试者工作特征曲线下面积,0.56[95%置信区间,0.51 - 0.60])。
