Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the value of programmed death-1（PD-1） expression on the T lymphocytes for the prognosis of septic patients.Methods:From September 2017 to May 2019, septic patients were included in Department of Intensive Care Unit at 6 hospitals. The PD-1 expression on T cells were measured by flow cytometry. Logistic regression was conducted to analyze independent risk factors related to death within 28 days，and receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) was conducted to evaluate the prognostic value of PD-1 expression on T cells in septic patients.Results:A total of 64 septic patients were enrolled to this study，including 32 survivors and 32 deaths. The PD-1 expression on T cells in the death group was significantly higher than that in the surviving group ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the percentages of PD-1 +/CD3 +T cells and PD-1 +/CD8 +T cells were positively correlated with procalciton in ( r=0.313, P =0.015； r=0.375, P=0.003), logistic regression analysis showed that the percentages of PD-1 +/CD3 +，PD-1 +/CD4 +，PD-1 +/CD8 +T cells were independent risk factors for the death of sepsis patients. The percentage of PD-1 +/CD3 +T cell was 3.63%, with AUC 0.842, sensitivity to predict the mortality 96.43% and specificity 59.38%, ( P<0.000 1). The percentage of PD-1 +/CD4 +T cell was 4.65%, with AUC 0.847, sensitivity 96.43%, specificity 62.50%，( P<0.000 1). The percentage of PD-1 +/CD8 +T cell was 3.91%, with AUC 0.771, sensitivity 64.29%, specificity 81.25%，( P=0.000 3). Conclusions:The T cell PD-1 expression is an independent risk factor to predict the 28-day mortality in septic patients. Combining the proportions of PD-1 +/CD3 +, PD-1 +/CD4 +and PD-1 +/CD8 +T cells may further enhance the predictive value for death.
