The present meta-analysis is performed to assess the prognostic value of presepsin in septic patients. Further, we compare the prognostic performance between presepsin and procalcitonin (PCT) in predicting all-cause mortality in these patients %K presepsin %K sCD14-ST %K procalcitonin %K prognostic %K sepsis %K mortality %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6574896/
