Procalcitonin (PCT) is used as a biomarker for the diagnosis of sepsis and is also used to guide antibiotic therapy. PCT levels (ng/mL) parallel the severity of bacterial infection. Consequently, low PCT levels indicate no bacterial infection while high PCT levels indicate mild to severe bacterial infection. A researcher was interested in studying the relationship patient sex (Female vs. Male) and/or physician diagnosis for the patient (TSS Diagnosed vs. TSS Not Diagnosed) has with average PCT levels. With this additional...
