Meta Analysis[Effect of early goal-directed therapy on mortality in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock: a Meta analysis].
To investigate whether early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) could improve the mortality rate in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. ⋯ EGDT was associated with significant improvement in short-term mortality but not with long-term mortality in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. Grade C was recommended by our study.

Meta Analysis[Accuracy of procalcitonin for diagnosis of sepsis in adults: a Meta-analysis].
To assess the clinical value of procalcitonin (PCT ) in the diagnosis of sepsis in adults. ⋯ Our results indicate a moderate degree of value of PCT for diagnosis of sepsis in adult patients. The diagnostic accuracy in medical patients is higher than that in surgical patients. PCT is a good auxiliary biomarker for diagnosis of sepsis.

Meta Analysis[Effect of timing of initiation of renal replacement therapy on prognosis in septic patients with acute kidney injury: a Meta analysis].
To systemically review the effects of timing of initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) on prognosis in septic patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). ⋯ Early RRT could reduce the 28-day mortality in patients with septic AKI compared with late RRT, but it did not lower the total mortality.
