Accuracy of presepsin in neonatal sepsis: systematic review and meta-analysis

This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of presepsin (P-SEP) for neonatal sepsis. Diagnostic accuracy of P-SEP resulted high in detecting neonatal sepsis. Even though it cannot be recommended as a single diagnostic test, P-SEP could be a helpful and valuable biomarker in neonates with suspected sepsis.
