Popis: I reviewed with interest the paper by Breidthardt et al ., which reports the results of a study on patients presented to the emergency department with acute abdominal pain, who was investigated using the inflammatory markers interlukein-6 and procalcitonin to triage the urgency of the situation in conjunction with clinical judgment. The study is well designed and a few centers have participated with their patients.
