Sažetak
Recent study show a greater accuracy of procalcitonin (PCT) compared to C-reactive protein (CRP) for differentiation of infectious and noninfectious SIRS in ICU and surgical patients. However, there is a lack of studies comparing CRP and PCT in the early diagnosis of complications after colon surgery which is accompanied by nonspecific SIRS. The aim of the study was to compare diagnostic accuracy of CRP and PCT for trhe prediction of postoperative complications in patients undergoing elective colon surgery. In patients undregoing elective colon surgery serial determinations of CRP are as helpful as PCT in the diagnosis of posoperative complications.
