Abstract:
Objective To explore the characteristics and value for predicting prognosis of cytokines in septic children with or without neutropenia.Methods Totally 138 septic children were divided into the neutropenia and non-neutropenia groups according to absolute neutropenic count.Septic children were divided into the shock and non-shock groups according to circulation function and organ perfusion.The levels of C-reactive protein,procalcitonin,cytokines,PRISM-Ⅲ and clinical outcomes were analyzed between the relative groups.Results (1) Totally 138 septic children were recruited,64 with neutropenia and 74 without neutropenia.The level of PRISM-Ⅲ of the neutropenia group was significantly higher than that of the non-neutropenia group (P=0.048).Mortality showed no significant difference between the two groups,but hospital stay in the neutropenia group was longer than that in the non-neutropenia group.The levels of C-reactive protein,IL-6,and IL-10 ihe neutropenia group were significantly higher than those of the non-neutropenia group (P=0.001;P=0.001;P=0.032).The level of TNF-α in the neutropenia group was significantly lower than that of the non-neutropenia group (P=0.032).(2)Among the 64 septic children with neutropenia,23 were combined with shock.The PRISM-Ⅲ level of the shock group was significantly higher than that of the non-shock group (P=0.001).The mortality of the shock group (43.5％,10/23) was significantly higher than the non-shock group (2.4％,1/41) (P=0.001).C-reactive protein,procalcitonin,IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-α in the shock group elevated obviously than those in the non-shock group (P=0.001;P=0.001;P=0.001;P=0.005;P=0.019).The area under receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.8 for IL-6 (cut-offvalue 315.38 pg/mL),0.8 for IL-10 (cutoff value 45.18 pg/mL),and 0.85 for TNF-α (cut-off value 1.95 pg/mL).(3) Among the 74 septic children without neutropenia,19 were combined with shock The PRISM-Ⅲ level of the shock group was significantly higher than that of the non-shock group (P=0.022).There was no significant difference of mortality between the two groups (P=0.3).IL-10 level in the shock group elevated obviously than that in the non-shock group (P=0.015).(4) Among the 42 children with sepsis shock,23 were combined with neutropenia.The PRISM-Ⅲ level of the neutropenia group was significantly higher than that of the non-neutropenia group (P=0.005).There was no significant difference of mortality between the two groups (P=0.29).The levels of C-reactive protein,procalcitonin,IL-6 and IL-10 in the neutropenia group were significantly higher than those in the non-neutropenia group (P=0.001;P=0.001;P=0.001;P=0.035).There was no difference of TNF-α level between the two groups.(5) Among the 96 children without sepsis shock,41 were combined with neutropenia.No difference of PRISM-Ⅲ level was observed between the neutropenia and nonneutropenia groups.The mortality of the neutropenia group was significantly lower than that in the non-neutropenia group (2.4％ vs 20％,P=0.02).The levels of C-reactive protein and IL-6 in the neutropenia group were significantly higher than those in the non-neutropenia group (P=0.005;P=0.033).The TNF-α level was significantly lower than that in the non-neutropenia group (P=0.007).Conclusions Compared to children without neutropenia,septic children combined with neutropenia have longer hospital stay,and septic shock children combined with neutropenia have higher mortality,and levels of IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-α were also significantly increased.The levels of IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-α can help to predict prognosis of children with sepsis.
