BACKGROUND: Blood stream infection (BSI) represent a life-threatening condition. Thus, we aimed to investigate the role of procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) tests in adult febrile patients with BSI and other clinical infections in hosp...
Insulin resistance (IR) is the core for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. The homeostasis assessment model is a straightforward and practical tool for quantifying insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Multiple adaptive regression spline (MARS) is a mac...
