My thoughts precisely: it’s not the most clearly explained methodology I’ve ever come across, and surprised no one has answered yet.

Did the PCT guided (and blinded? That’s what protocol seems to imply) group get to see daily CRP?

Were the CRP guided and standard care only able to get a PCT?

These will surely massively alter behaviours. I’m not so sure from the protocol both as a simpleton and someone with a cold.

This is a stupid question but I’m ill and I haven’t been able to answer it.

Are clinicians outside of the “standard care only” blinded to CRP and PCT results? Were they strictly banned from requesting and seeing them?

Standard care in ITU sepsis in the UK seems to include daily CRP.

How often did standard care cohort have CRP tested?

Exactly my thoughts when I saw this! The kind of thing that made me love med-twitter of yesteryear.
