Estimated plasma volume status (ePVS) could be an easy-to-use clinical tool to determine the risk of sepsis or death in patients with fever

Capillary permeability can be increased in patients with sepsis. Indirect estimation of plasma volume status (ePVS) could identify more severely ill patients with fever. 1502 patients evaluated for fever at the Emergency Department (ED) of Merano General Hospital (Italy) between June 1, 2018 and May 30, 2019. The ePVS value registered on ED admission and derived from complete blood count was considered. Associations between the ePVS value and...
