Abstract:
Objective:Investigate the prognostic value of high density lipoprotein (HDL) level in patients with streptococcal bloodstream infection.Methods:A total of 698 patients with streptococcal bloodstream infection admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to December 2019 were enrolled. Serum lipid and other clinical data of patients with positive blood culture within 48 h were recorded. The patients were followed up by telephone from January to March in 2020, and the end-point events were recorded, which were all-cause death 60 days after the diagnosis of streptococcal bloodstream infection. The patients were divided into two groups according to the levels of HDL: low HDL group (HDL ≤0.84 mmol/L) and high HDL group (HDL > 0.84 mmol/L). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to analyze the 60-day prognostic factors of patients with streptococcus bloodstream infection. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to explore predictive value of HDL level for 60-day prognosis of patients. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to compare the cumulative survival of patients with different HDL levels.Results:(1) A total of 491 patients were enrolled according to the inclusion criteria, and 461 patients were followed up successfully, with a follow-up rate of 93.89%. There were 373 survival patients and 88 death patients at 60 days, with a 60-day mortality rate of 19.09% (88/461). (2) There were significant differences in age, total cholesterol (TC), HDL, low density lipoprotein (LDL), platelets, albumin, fibrinogen, triglyceride (TG), creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, white blood cell, PCT, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and respiratory failure and shock between the survival group and death group. (3) Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that HDL ( RR=1.922, 95% CI: 1.186-3.117, P=0.008), aspartate aminotransferase ( RR=1.953, 95% CI: 1.233-3.094, P=0.004), shock ( RR=15.196, 95% CI: 6.953-33.211, P< 0.001), and respiratory failure ( RR=9.509, 95% CI: 4.232-21.367, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for 60-day mortality of patients with streptococcal bloodstream infection. (4) The ROC curve analysis showed that HDL alone had a certain value in predicting the 60-day prognosis of patients with streptococcal bloodstream infection. The area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.602, and the AUC of the combined predictive value of HDL, aspartate aminotransferase, shock and respiratory failure was 0.960, with a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 92%. (5) Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the cumulative survival rate of patients without endpoint event in the HDL > 0.84 mmol/L group was higher than that in the HDL ≤ 0.84 mmol/L group, but without statistically significant difference (Log-Rank test: χ20.843, P<0.358). Conclusions:Patients with low HDL level of streptococcal bloodstream infection have an increased risk of 60-day death. HDL is an independent risk factor for 60-day death in patients with streptococcal bloodstream infection, and can be used as an indicator to evaluate the prognosis of patients with streptococcal bloodstream infection.
