Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study 150 critically patients in a university hospital was evaluated. Age, gender, organ failure and CRP level was evaluated. Then correlation between mortality and CRP level was measured. Results: The mean age of patients was years. %47.3 of patients were men and %52.7 of patients were women. Prevalence of mortality in this study was %64.7. In this study was demonstrated that CRP concentration correlate with mortality (p<0.001). Conclusion: In this study was revealed that CRP level was prognostic factor for mortality in critically ill patients. %> http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/article-1-3723-en.pdf %P 47-52 %& 47 %! %9 Research %L A-10-1-1660 %+ %G eng %@ 2228-7043 %[ 2015
