Abstract Objective: To discuss the clinical value of serum procalcitonin on severity and prognosis of respiratory critically ill patients. Method: The APACHEⅡ score, Marshall score, hospitalization, mortality rate and the level of PCT were observed and recorded to evaluate the severity and prognosis of respiratory critically ill patients. Result: The APACHEⅡscore of the High-level group was( 21.98±2.33) and it was obviously higher than that of the Low-level group (P<0.05). The Marshall score of the High-level group was( 7.41±0.88) and it was obviously higher than that of the Low-level group( P<0.05). The average length of stay of the High-level group was obviously longer than that of the Lowlevel group( P<0.05). The mortality rate of the High-level group was 15.00% and it was obviously higher than that of the Low-level group( P<0.05). Conclusion: The serum procalcitonin level has a significant clinical value on severity and prognosis of respiratory critically ill patients and it deserves promotion.
