Abstract:
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) in critically ill patients complicated with sepsis. Methods Fifty-six cases of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) who admitted in intensive care unit (ICU) of the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University between May 2009 and June 2010 were recruited. The SIRS patients were divided into two groups: sepsis group (n= 32) and non-sepsis group (n= 24). The levels of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured within 24 hours of hospitalization.Levels of sTREM-1 were measured by enzyme linked immunoabsorbant assay (ELISA). Based on the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), cut-off value, sensitivity and specificity of sTREM-1 in diagnosis of sepsis were calculated. Comparison between groups was done by t test and Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were compared by chi square test. ResultsThe serum level of sTREM-1 were significantly higher in sepsis group than that in non-sepsis group (250.9 ng/L vs 103.6 ng/L, Z= 12. 864,P=0. 002). Areas under the curve (AUC) of sTREM-1, PCT and CRP were 0. 935, 0. 891 and 0. 602, respectively. With a cut-off value of 135.0 ng/L, the sensitivity and specificity of sTREM-1 in diagnosing sepsis were 93. 8％ and 84. 7％, respectively. With a cut-off value of 2. 0 μg/L, the sensitivity and specificity of PCT were 84. 4％and 87. 8％, respectively.ConclusionSerum level of sTREM-1 could be used as an early indicator for diagnosing sepsis.
