Evaluating the diagnostic value and prognosis prediction of heparin-binding protein combined with procalcitonin and high sensitivity C-reactive protein in early sepsis / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the diagnostic and prognostic value of heparin-binding protein (HBP) combined with procalcitonin (PCT) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in early sepsis.Methods:The clinical data of 116 patients with sepsis admitted to Zhejiang Xin′an International Hospital from August 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into mild sepsis group (40 cases), severe sepsis group (46 cases) and septic shock group (30 cases) according to the severity of illness. According to the clinical prognosis, they were divided into survival group (87 cases) and death group (29 cases). In the same period, 104 outpatients were selected as control group. The levels of HBP, PCT and hs-CRP were compared in each group and the guiding value of HBP, PCT and hs-CRP in the diagnosis of early sepsis were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The levels of HBP, PCT and hs-CRP in sepsis group were higher than those in control group (83.45 ± 11.29) μg/L vs. (4.81 ± 0.62) μg/L, (8.19 ± 1.14) μg/L vs. (0.24 ± 0.03) μg/L, (87.94 ± 13.58) mg/L vs. (1.34 ± 0.15) mg/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of HBP, PCT and hs-CRP were gradually increased with the aggravation of disease, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of HBP, PCT and hs-CRP in survival group were lower than those in death group (67.94 ± 8.91) μg/L vs. (129.98 ± 18.43) μg/L, (6.46 ± 0.93) μg/L vs. (13.38 ± 1.77) μg/L, (65.19 ± 10.62) mg/L vs. (129.19 ± 22.46) mg/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of HBP, PCT, hs-CRP and HBP + PCT + hs-CRP were 0.828, 0.835, 0.787 and 0.940, the sensitivity was 72.4%, 69.0%, 79.3% and 86.2%, and the specificity was 85.1%, 88.5%, 74.7% and 90.8%. Conclusions:HBP, PCT and hs-CRP joint detection have certain guiding value in the diagnosis of early sepsis, and can reflect the disease severity and prognosis.
