Correlation of serum retinol-binding protein and β2-microglobulin levels with disease and disease outcome in patients with septic shock / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the correlation between serum levels of retinol-binding protein(RBP)and β2-microglobulin(β2-MG)levels with the disease and disease outcome in patients with septic shock.Methods A total of 120 patients with sepsis admitted to Qinzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from November 2020 to November 2022 were selected as research objects,and divided into sepsis group(76 cases)and septic shock group(44 cases)according to the severity of the disease.A total of 96 healthy subjects were selected as control group.According to the 28-day disease outcome of sepsis shock group,10 patients died(worsening group)and 34 patients survived(outcome group).Serum RBP and β2-MG levels were detected by immunoturbidimetry within 24 h after admission.Serum RBP and β2-MG levels were compared among all groups.Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum RBP and β2-MG on the disease outcome of patients with septic shock.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors affecting the disease outcome of patients with septic shock.Results WBC count,procalcitonin,C reactive protein level,acute physiology and chronic health status score system Ⅱ score,se-quential organ failure assessment(SOFA)score in sepsis shock group were higher than those in sepsis group and control group,and platelet count was lower than those in sepsis group and control group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Serum RBP and β2-MG levels in sepsis shock group were higher than those in sepsis group and control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The levels of serum RBP and β2-MG in the worsening group were higher than those in the outcome group,and the differ-ence was statistically significant(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of ser-um RBP and β2-MG combined to evaluate the outcome of septic shock disease was 0.910(95％CI:0.865-0.955).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that serum RBP,β2-MG,C reactive protein and SO-FA score were all risk factors affecting the disease outcome of septic shock patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of RBP and β2-MG in patients with septic shock are increased,and the changes of both levels are related to the disease outcome.The combined application has a better predictive value for the disease outcome in patients with septic shock.
