Objective To evaluate the predictive value of serum presepsin (sCD14-ST) for septic myocardial depression (SMD) in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock.Methods This was a prospective cohort study.A total of 84 patients with severe sepsis or septic shock were monitored by pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) system and divided into myocardial depression group (cardiac function index [CFI]<4.1 L/min, n=37) and non-myocardial depression group (CFI≥4.1 L/min, n=47) according to cardiac function index (CFI).Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured by doppler echocardiography at admission.The patients were divided into survival group (n=40) and non-survival group (n=44) based on 28-day mortality.Serum sCD14-ST,B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnⅠ) levels and hemodynamic parameters were observed dynamically at day 1,3,5 after admission.Quantitative data with normal distribution were analyzed using t-test and abnormal distribution data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test.Categorical data were analyzed using χ2 test.Results The serum levels of cardiac index (CI), global ejection fraction (GEF) and left ventricular contractility index (dPmax) in myocardial depression group were all significantly lower than those in non-depression group at day 1 after admission (all P<0.01).The serum levels of sCD14-ST, TNF-α and BNP in myocardial depression group were all significantly higher than those in non-depression group (all P<0.01).Serum sCD14-ST levels in 84 septic patients were positively correlated with both BNP and TNF-α (r=0.204, P<0.05 and r=0.516, P<0.01, respectively).The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) of sCD14-ST was 0.782 for myocardial depression in patients with sepsis, with a sensitivity of 89.2% and a specificity of 78.0% at the cut-off point of 988 mg/mL.The predictive value of sCD14-ST was inferior to BNP and TNF-α (both P<0.05).The combination of sCD14-ST, TNF-α and BNP could provide better prediction value in septic myocardial depression.Logistic regression analysis showed that serum sCD14-ST was not the in dependent predictor for septic myocardial depression (P>0.05).There were 24 cases died in myocardial depression group.The mortality of myocardial depression group was significantly higher than that of non-depression group (64.9% vs 42.6%, χ2=4.132, P =0.042).The serum levels of sCD14-ST at day 1 and day 3 in myocardial depression group were significantly higher than those in non-myocardial depression group (both P<0.01).sCD14-ST levels in both groups showed downtrend.The serum level of sCD14-ST in non-survival group was significantly higher than that in survival group (P<0.01).Conclusions Myocardial depression is common in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock.High serum level of sCD14-ST is correlated with myocardial depression to some extent, but not an independent predictor.The combination of sCD4-ST, BNP and TNF-α can improve the predictive value for myocardial depression.
