Race to find better Early-Warning test for Post-Surgery infections

NCT ID NCT01510314

Summary

This study aimed to find a better way to detect dangerous infections early after planned colon surgery. Researchers compared two blood tests—C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT)—to see which could spot infections sooner, as early as the second day after surgery. The goal was to help patients get treatment faster, potentially reducing hospital stays and complications.
