Cost and mortality prediction using polymerase chain reaction pathogen detection in sepsis: evidence from three observational trials

INTRODUCTION: Delays in adequate antimicrobial treatment contribute to high cost and mortality in sepsis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays are used alongside conventional cultures to accelerate the identification of microorganisms. We analyze the impact on medical outcomes and healthcare costs...
