Thirty-three patients were included in the study. Six patients (18%) were diagnosed with infection. We found no association between comorbidities and infection in this cohort. The mean ESR and CRP were higher in infected (ESR = 41.6 mm/h, CRP = 2.0 mg/dL) vs noninfected (ESR = 19.3 mm/h, CRP = 1.3 mg/dL) groups (both P < .01). ESR >30 mm/h (odds ratio 28.8, 95% confidence interval 2.6-315.4, P = .001) and CRP >1.0 mg/dL (odds ratio 11.5, 95% confidence interval 1.6-85.2, P = .01) were strongly associated with infection. Receiver operating characteristic curves for ESR (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.89) and CRP (AUC = 0.89) demonstrated good fit.
