In intensive care units (ICUs), a great deal of research is devoted to finding new biomarkers to help physicians in the prediction of outcome. The pancreatic stone protein/regenerating protein (PSP) [
1,
2] and the amino terminal pro-C-type-natriuretic-peptide (NT-proCNP) [
3] were assessed as markers of sepsis in patients with moderate trauma and as prognostic markers of mortality for PSP [
4]. The objective of this study was to analyze separately the roles of these two biomarkers in the prediction of sepsis in patients with severe trauma. …
