-
摘要:
目的 探究血清淀粉样蛋白A(SAA)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)对脓毒症诊断及病情严重程度评估的意义。 方法 选取2020年10月1日—2021年5月31日蚌埠医学院第一附属医院重症医学科的患者80例,观察患者入科24 h内的SAA、IL-6、降钙素原(PCT)、C反应蛋白(CRP)、急性生理学和慢性健康状况评价Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ)评分及序贯性器官功能衰竭估计(SOFA)评分。根据脓毒症诊断标准将80例患者分为非脓毒症组(25例)和脓毒症组(55例),通过ROC曲线评估SAA、IL-6对脓毒症的诊断效能,利用Spearman分析探究SAA、IL-6与APACHEⅡ评分、SOFA评分的相关性。根据脓毒性休克诊断标准将55例脓毒症患者分为普通脓毒症组(25例)和脓毒性休克组(30例),评估SAA、IL-6对病情严重程度的判断价值。 结果 诊断脓毒症的ROC曲线示,IL-6的灵敏度和特异度(94.4%、63.4%)较高;联合应用时, SAA联合PCT的特异度(95.8%)最高;IL-6联合CRP的灵敏度(100.0%)最高。SAA、IL-6与APACHEⅡ评分、SOFA评分均呈正相关。评估病情程度的ROC结果示,SAA单独应用以及IL-6联合PCT的特异度(均为80.0%)最高,SAA联合PCT的灵敏度(96.0%)最高。 结论 SAA、IL-6可作为评估脓毒症病情严重程度的有效标志物,IL-6也可以辅助脓毒症的早期诊断,两者与PCT、CRP联合应用后可提高临床价值。 Abstract:Objective To explore the significance of serum amyloid A (SAA) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the diagnosis and severity evaluation of sepsis. Methods A total of 80 patients in the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from October 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021 were selected, and scores of SAA, IL-6, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA were collected within 24 hours from admission. According to the diagnostic criteria of sepsis, 25 cases were divided into the non-sepsis group and 55 cases were divided into the sepsis group. The diagnostic efficacy of SAA and IL-6 in sepsis was evaluated by ROC curve, while the correlation between SAA, IL-6 and APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score was explored by Spearman analysis. According to the diagnostic criteria of septic shock, patients with sepsis were divided into the common sepsis group (n=25) and the septic shock group (n=30), and the judgment value of SAA and IL-6 on the severity of the disease was evaluated. Results The ROC curve for the diagnosis of sepsis showed high sensitivity and specificity of IL-6 (94.4%, 63.4%). SAA combined with PCT had the highest specificity (95.8%). IL-6 combined with CRP had the highest sensitivity (100.0%). SAA and IL-6 were positively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score and SOFA score. The ROC results to assess the severity of the disease showed that the specificity of SAA alone and IL-6 combined with PCT was the highest (both 80.0%), and the sensitivity of SAA combined with PCT was the highest (96.0%). Conclusion SAA and IL-6 can be used as effective markers to evaluate the severity of sepsis, and IL-6 can also assist in the early diagnosis of sepsis. The combination of SAA and IL-6 with PCT and CRP can improve the clinical value. -
