Presepsin is a novel biomarker to diagnose sepsis but its prognostic value has not been comprehensively reviewed. We conducted this meta-analysis to evaluate the mortality prediction value of presepsin in sepsis. We searched comprehensive electronic databases from PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library through September 2017 using the key words of (‘presepsin’ or ‘sCD14-ST’ or ‘soluble CD14 subtype’) and (‘sepsis’ or ‘septic shock’) and (‘prognosis’ or ‘prognostic value’ or ‘prognostic biomarker’ or ‘mortality’). We extracted the presepsin levels in survivors and non-survivors from each individual study and evaluated the standardized mean difference (SMD) using a web-based meta-analysis with the R statistical analysis program. A total of 10 studies and 1617 patients were included. Presepsin levels in the first sampling (within 24 hours) were significantly lower among survivors as compared with non-survivors: the pooled SMD between survivors and non-survivors was 0.92 (95% CI: 0.62–1.22) in the random effects model (I2 = 79%, P< 0.01). In subgroups, divided by the sepsis severity or study site, pooled SMD was consistently noting higher presepsin levels in non-survivals (P< 0.05). This meta-analysis demonstrates some mortality prediction value in presepsin in patients with sepsis. Further studies are needed to define the optimal cut-off point to predict mortality in sepsis.

About Me
Hyun Suk Yang, MD, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Konkuk University School of Medicine, Konkuk University Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. She obtained her bachelor's degree from Pusan National University and subsequently earned both her Doctor of Medicine and Ph.D. degrees in Medicine from the Graduate School of the University of Ulsan. Dr. Yang's clinical training includes fellowships at prestigious institutions, including a Cardiology Fellowship at Asan Medical Center in Seoul, a Clinical Fellowship in Cardiology Echocardiography at Mayo Clinic Rochester, Minnesota, and a Research Fellowship at Mayo Clinic Scottsdale, Arizona. Her academic career progressed through positions as Clinical Assistant Professor at Pusan National University Hospital and Associate Professor at Konkuk University School of Medicine before her current professorship. Her research interests include lipid biomarkers, cardiometabolic diseases, congenital heart diseases, and 3D Echo. Dr. Yang's excellence in both research and education is reflected in her awards, including the Young Investigator Award from the Korean Circulation Society (2002) and Teacher of the Year awards (2012, 2018) at Konkuk University School of Medicine. She has made significant contributions to her field, serving as Editor-in-Chief of Clinical Ultrasound (2019–2023) and maintaining active involvement as a member of the Global Research on Acute Conditions Team since 2014.
