Background We aimed to examine the diagnostic accuracy of postoperative procalcitonin
(PCT) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) in the detection of infectious complications in patients …

Purpose The predictive values of the C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT)
levels for postoperative infectious complications were investigated in patients who …

Background Postoperative infections are a common entity following elective gastrointestinal
surgery among which intra-abdominal infection is notorious and life threatening. Early …

Background: This study aimed to establish a threshold of C-reactive protein (CRP) level for
early detection of post-operative infectious complications after surgery for colorectal cancer …

Background Colorectal surgery is associated with postoperative infectious complications in
up to 40% of cases, but the diagnosis of these complications is frequently misleading …

Background This study evaluated the role of the acute phase C-reactive protein (CRP) in the
postoperative course of a large series of rectal resections on the basis of a prospective …

Background: Intra-abdominal infections are frequent and life-threatening complications after
colorectal surgery. An early detection could diminish their clinical impact and permit safe …

Aim To assess diagnostic value of perioperative procalcitonin (PCT) levels compared to C-
reactive protein (CRP) levels in early detection of infectious complications following …

Background The early detection of infectious complications of colorectal surgery leads to
better patient outcomes. This study aimed to assess the role of C-reactive protein (CRP) …
