Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the value of the serum levels of Clusterin and sphingosine 1-phosphate （S1P） in assessing the prognosis of sepsis patients with acute liver injury. MethodsA total of 127 sepsis patients with acute liver injury who were admitted to Lianyungang Hospital， Xuzhou Medical University， from March 2019 to May 2022 were enrolled， and according to their prognosis after 28 days of treatment， they were divided into death group with 35 patients and survival group with 92 patients. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. A pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation. The prognostic value of serum Clusterin and S1P was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve. ResultsThere were significant differences between the two groups in the degree of liver injury， Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ （APACHEⅡ） score， Sequential Organ Failure Assessment （SOFA） score， the presence or absence of acute kidney injury， prothrombin time （PT）， international normalized ratio （INR）， Child-Pugh class， and C-reactive protein （all P<0.05）. The death group had significantly lower serum levels of Clusterin and S1P than the survival group （t=11.094 and 10.390， both P<0.05）. The patients with severe liver injury had significantly lower serum levels of Clusterin and S1P than those with mild or moderate liver injury （t=9.825 and 11.418， both P<0.05）. The multivariate regression analysis showed that the degree of liver injury （odds ratio ［OR］=1.260， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.081 — 1.468， P<0.05）， APACHEII score （OR=1.031， 95%CI： 1.019 — 1.044， P<0.05）， SOFA score （OR=1.066， 95%CI： 1.039 — 1.094， P<0.05）， Clusterin （OR=0.899， 95%CI： 0.859 — 0.940， P<0.05）， and S1P （OR=0.824， 95%CI： 0.749 — 0.908， P<0.05） were independent risk factors for the prognosis of patients with sepsis. The ROC curve analysis showed that serum Clusterin and S1P used alone or in combination had an area under the ROC curve of 0.864， 0.861， and 0.949， respectively. Serum Clusterin and S1P were significantly negatively correlated with alanine aminotransferase， total bilirubin， PT， and INR in sepsis patients with acute liver injury （all P<0.05）. ConclusionThe sepsis patients with acute liver injury who died had significant reductions in serum Clusterin and S1P compared with those who survived， and the levels of Clusterin and S1P are closely associated with the degree of liver injury. The combination of Clusterin and S1P has a good value in predicting the prognosis of sepsis patients with acute liver injury and is expected to become a potential marker for predicting the prognosis of sepsis patients with acute liver injury.
