Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of interleukin-6 (IL-6) level as a prognostic indicator in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) patients.Methods Data of 88 cases of DKA in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital collected from June 1,2010 to December 31,2012 were analyzed prospectively.They were divided into two groups according to the survival of patients followed up for 28 days:non-survival group (n =12) and survival group (n =76).Serum levels of IL-6,lactate,base excess and APACHE Ⅱ score in 24 hours after admission were compared between two groups by independent t test.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to analyze the performance of IL-6 as a prognostic indicator in the early stage of DKA.Correlations between IL-6 value and lactate,base excess,APACHE Ⅱ score were analyzed.Results The IL-6 values were elevated obviously in non-survival group.The ROC of IL-6 had an area under curve (AUC) of 0.783,and the cut-off value of IL-6 for the death followed up for 28 days was 448.9 ng/L.In all patients,IL-6 values and APACHE Ⅱ score showed a positive correlation between them (r =0.919,P =0.005),and also positive correlations existed between IL-6 and lactate as well as base excess (r=0.922,P=0.003; r=0.887,P=0.015)in24 hours.Conclusions IL-6 value is a reliable prognostic indicator in the early stage of DKA.
