   A meta-analysis reported a sensitivity of 76% and specificity of 70% for bacteremia. [55] A 2018 systematic review comparing PCT and C-reactive protein (CRP) found PCT to have a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 77% in identifying septic patients. In the study, PCT outperformed CRP in diagnostic accuracy of predicting sepsis. [56]
