Table 6 χ2 for proportions in patients with sepsis and septic shock and negative at SIRS criteria (SIRS < 2) and qSOFA < 2: SOFA, PCT and MR-proADM comparison.

From: Best diagnostic accuracy of sepsis combining SIRS criteria or qSOFA score with Procalcitonin and Mid-Regional pro-Adrenomedullin outside ICU

Patients with sepsis SIRS < 2 + qSOFA < 2 (n = 35)
