Effect of the blood lipid level in the prognosis of patients with sepsis / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo observe the changes of the blood lipid levels in patients with sepsis,and reveal the clinical significance of the blood lipid level in the prognosis of patients with sepsis.MethodsThe blood lipid levels and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ ) of 40 patients with sepsis(sepsis group) were recorded.The blood lipid levels were compared with those of 25 healthy people (control group).The correlation of the blood lipid level with APACHE Ⅱ score and prognosis of sepsis was analyzed.ResultsIn sepsis group,plasma total cholesterol(TC),high density lipoprotein (HDL),low density lipoprotein (LDL),apolipoprotein B (ApoB) was (3.92 ±0.96) mmol/L,(1.10 ±0.39) mmol/L,(2.44 ± 0.81 ) mmol/L and ( 1.03 ± 0.27) g/L respectively,which were significantly decreased compared with those in control group [ ( 4.40 ± 0.55 ) mmol/L,( 1.61 ± 0.42) mmol/L,(2.79 ± 0.47 ) mmol/L,( 1.13 ± 0.12 ) g/L] (P ＜0.05).In sepsis group,26 cases survived and 14 cases died.TC,triacylglycerol (TG),HDL,LDL,apolipoprotein A Ⅰ (ApoA Ⅰ ),ApoB,platelet count and albumin level of death patients was (3.33 ±0.92) mmol/L,(0.81 ±0.39) mmol/L,(1.03 ±0.27) mmol/L,(1.83 ±0.68) g/L,(1.03 ±0.27) g/L,(0.86 ±0.27) g/L,(140.0 ±82.3) × 109/L,and (32.00 ±5.52) g/L,respectively,which were significantly decreased compared with those of survival patients [ (4.24 ± 0.84) mmol/L,( 1.21 ± 0.44) mmol/L,( 1.25 ±0.30) mmol/L,(2.77 ±0.68) mmol/L,(1.25 ±0.13) g/L,(1.13 ±0.23) g/L,(215.9 ± 101.0) × 109/L,(36.12 ±6.30) g/L](P＜0.05).APACHEM Ⅱ score of death patients was (20.5 ±4.2) scores,which was increased compared with that of survival patients [ ( 13.8 ± 4.8) scores ] ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Multivarisble Logistic regression analysis showed plasma HDL and APACHE Ⅱ score was independent risk factor (standard regression coefficient,HDL =-6.222,APACHE Ⅱ score =0.337).Conclusions Disorders of lipid metabolism exist in patients with sepsis.Plasma HDL level is a good indicator in assessment of prognosis in patients with sepsis and it shows better results combined with APACHE Ⅱ score.
