Abstract
ObjectiveTo study the clinical value of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in the diagnosis and prognosis of bloodstream infection.
MethodsTotally 165 patients suspected of bloodstream infection admitted in intensive care unit (ICU) of the Second Hospital Affiliated to Suzhou University were enrolled in this study. According to the diagnosis standard of bloodstream inflection, patients were divided into the bloodstream infection group and non-bloodstream infection group. According to the prognosis of the patients, the bloodstream infection group was further divided into the survival group and the death group. Serum levels of suPAR, BNP, CRP, PCT, and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ acute physiology score (APACHE Ⅱ ), and mortality of the patients were analyzed, and the possible relation of the above indexes between the two groups were compared. Based on the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the area under the curve (AUC), the early diagnostic value of suPAR, BNP, CRP, PCT, and APACHE Ⅱ score in the bloodstream infection patients was determined.
ResultsSerum levels of suPAR, BNP, CRP, PCT and APACHE II score in the bloodstream infection group were higher than those in the non-bloodstream infection group (P<0.05); Serum levels of suPAR, BNP, CRP, PCT and APACHE Ⅱ score in the death group were higher than those in the survival group (P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between serum suPAR, BNP, PCT and APHCHE Ⅱscore in patients of bloodstream infection(r=0.503, 0.548, 0.781,all P<0.05). The levels of suPAR, BNP, PCT and APACHE Ⅱ in the patients of blood stream infection were related to significant the prognosis (P<0.05). And these indexes can provide good evaluation on the prognosis of the patients.
ConclusionDetection of serum suPAR, BNP can evaluate the severity of bloodstream infection and preliminarily determine the prognosis of patients with bloodstream infection. Therefore, the method is worth applying in the clinical field.
