METHOD OF DETERMINING SEPSIS IN THE PRESENCE OF BLAST FLAGGING

Embodiments of the present disclosure may allow for an efficient and accurate way or system to assess whether an individual has sepsis, including an individual who may exhibit symptoms or clinical criteria similar to inflammation. Embodiments include using a laboratory test that may be routinely ordered. Embodiments of the present invention may allow for the diagnosis of sepsis even when some cells show an abnormal size. Often, when white blood cells show a likelihood of an abnormal size, a "blast flag" in a system is triggered to warn a user that the sample may warrant further analysis. Unexpectedly, the diagnosis of sepsis status using standard deviation of monocyte volume may be more accurate when considering whether a blast flag has been triggered. Based on the sepsis status, treatmentmay be started quickly, thereby preventing complications, including organ failure and death, of not treating sepsis fast enough. 本公开内容的实施方式可以允许一种有效且准确的方式或系统来评估个体--包括可能表现出类似于炎症的症状或临床标准的个体--是否患有败血症。实施方式包括使用可以常规安排的实验室测试。本发明的实施方
