Likelihood of blood culture positivity using SeptiCyte RAPID.

ABSTRACT: Early diagnosis and identification of causative pathogens using blood culture in patients suspected of Blood Stream Infection (BSI) and sepsis are critical for improving patient outcomes through early and more targeted treatment.

Methods

Post-hoc retrospective analysis of indiviudal patient data from three prospective clinical studies, conducted in North America, Europe and Africa, to investigate the association between SeptiCyte RAPID test results (SeptiScores) and blood culture results.

Hypothesis

that a significant correlation exists between elevated SeptiScores and positive blood culture results, and between low SeptiScores and negative blood culture results.

Results

As the SeptiScore increases, the relative probabilty of a septic patient being BC(+) as opposed to
