Diagnostic values for sepsis of clinical variables estimated by receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis. a Area under the curve (AUC) for a null hypothesis was 0.5. AUC for C-reactive protein (CRP) was 0.729 (95 % CI 0.675–0.779, P < 0.001), procalcitonin (PCT) 0.737 (95 % CI 0.683–0.786, P < 0.001), interleukin-6 (IL-6) 0.511 (95 % CI 0.452–0.570, P = 0.760), white blood cells (WBC) 0.472 (95 % CI 0.400–0.545, P = 0.426), body temperature 0.468 (95 % CI 0.398–0.539, P = 0.362) and sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) 0.671 (95 % CI 0.615–0.714, P < 0.001). b For calculated score: Area under the curve (AUC) for a null hypothesis was 0.5. AUC for calculated score was 0.790 (95 % CI 0.739–0.834, P < 0.001)
