Objective To investigate the prognostic value of echocardiography indicators combined with se-rum recombinant human arginase 1(ARG1)and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G6PD)in children with sepsis.Methods A total of 116 children with sepsis admitted to the hospital from May 2022 to June 2023 were enrolled in the study as the sepsis group.According to the severity of sepsis,the children were further divided into general sepsis group(52 cases),severe sepsis group(38 cases)and septic shock group(26 cases).Ac-cording to the prognosis of the children,the children with sepsis were divided into good prognosis group(84 cases)and poor prognosis group(32 cases).A total of 116 healthy children who underwent physical examina-tion in the hospital during the same period were enrolled as the control group.The left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD),left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LV-EDV)and early diastolic mitral flow peak velocity(E)were detected by using color Doppler ultrasound.Ser-um ARG1 and G6PD levels were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The echo-cardiographic indexes and serum ARG1 and G6PD levels were compared between the sepsis group and the con-trol group,and among sepsis children with different disease severity and different prognosis.The receiver op-erating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of echocardiographic indexes com-bined with serum ARG1 and G6PD for poor prognosis in children with sepsis.Results Compared with the control group,the sepsis group had significant reductions in LVEF,E,and G6PD(P＜0.05)and significant increases in LVEDD,LVEDV,and ARG1(P＜0.05).With the aggravation of sepsis,the levels of LVEF,E,and G6PD in children with sepsis gradually decreased(P＜0.05),while the levels of LVEDD,LVEDV,and ARG1 gradually increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the good prognosis group,the poor prognosis group had significantly lower levels of LVEF,E,and G6PD(P＜0.05)and significantly higher levels of LVEDD,LV-EDV,and ARG1(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of echocardiographic indexes com-bined with serum ARG1 and G6PD in predicting poor prognosis of children with sepsis was 0.971,and the sensitivity and specificity were 84.4％and 83.2％,respectively.Conclusion The levels of LVEF,E,and G6PD in children with sepsis significantly decreases,and the levels of LVEDD,LVEDV,and ARG1 signifi-cantly increases.Echocardiographic parameters combined with serum ARG1 and G6PD have high predictive value for poor prognosis in children with sepsis.
