The comparative analysis for two kinds of serum procalcitonin quantitative detection and prediction of blood culture / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective The detection results of two methods of quantitative methods and blood culture method were compared to explore the value of quantitative detection of serum procalcitonin.Methods From February 2014 to January 2015,the clinical data of 192 patients who were tested for two quantitative detection and blood culture were collected at the same time,and the results were eligible analyzed.One of the two quantitative detection methods was the electrochemical luminescence,and the other was the up-converting phosphor method.Results Compared with the result of blood culture,the positive rate was significantly higher in electrochemical luminescence and the up-con-verting phosphor method (χ2 =70.531,43.671,all P<0.05).The positive rates of up-converting phosphor and electrochemical luminescence were 66.1% and 75.5% respectively, and the difference between two quantitative methods was also statistically significant (χ2 =5.297,P<0.05).Method of electrochemical luminescence tested on higher sensitivity.When the level of PCT was less than threshold,for method of the electrochemical luminescence,the sensitivity on the blood culture was 93.7%,the specificity was 33.3%,the positive predictive value was 40.7%,the negative predictive value was 91.5%,the area under ROC curve was 0.628.For method of up-converting phosphor, the sensitivity on the blood culture was 90.5%,the specificity was 46.5%,the positive predictive value was 45.7%, the negative predictive value was 90.7%,the area under ROC curve was 0.554.Conclusion The electrochemical luminescence detection method of serum procalcitonin was better than up -converting phosphor method and blood culture.The electrochemical luminescence method which makes rapidly qualitative and accurately quantitative detec-tion,can give early diagnosis,medication guide in a short time,and predict the prognosis of disease.
