To evaluate the association between serum anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody (anti-tTG) titers and the severity of histological damage to the duodenal mucosa and to predict a possible anti-tTG cutoff value for diagnosing celiac disease (CD) and villous atrophy in the domestic population. Clinical and pathological data from 76 adult CD patients with positive anti-tTG titers and duodenal biopsy results who were treated at the People′s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from July 2017 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The correlation between anti-tTG titers and the severity of duodenal mucosal damage was statistically assessed to predict the optimal anti-tTG titer cut-off value for diagnosing CD and villous atrophy. Of the 76 patients, 10 had underlying CD, and of the 66 patients with duodenal histopathology, four were Marsh Ⅰ, six were Marsh Ⅱ, and 56 were Marsh Ⅲa-c grade. In adults with CD, anti-tTG titers were shown to be associated with the severity of histological damage to the duodenal mucosa. When the anti-tTG level was ≥5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing CD were 83.9% and 92.9%, respectively. When the anti-tTG titer was ≥8 times the ULN, the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing villous atrophy were 67.9% and 90.0%, respectively. Anti-tTG levels had a strong predictive value for diagnosing CD in adults when titers exceeded 10 times the ULN. Thus, the anti-tTG cut-off value can be combined with clinical judgment to diagnose CD, limiting the use of invasive endoscopy.

Objective:To establish an early prediction model for bloodstream infection in patients with extremely severe burns based on the screened independent risk factors of the infection, and to analyze its predictive value.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. From January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019, 307 patients with extremely severe burns were admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medcine, including 251 males and 56 females, aged from 33 to 55 years. According to the occurrence of bloodstream infection, the patients were divided into non-bloodstream infection group (221 cases) and bloodstream infection group (86 cases). The gender, age, body mass index, outcome, length of hospital stay of patients were compared between the two groups, and the detection of bacteria in blood microbial culture of patients was analyzed in bloodstream infection group. The included 307 patients were divided into modeling group (219 cases) and validation group (88 cases) according to the random number table with a ratio of about 7∶3. The gender, age, body mass index, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, combination of inhalation injury, implementation of mechanical ventilation, days of mechanical ventilation, days of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, outcome, length of hospital stay, complication of bloodstream infection of patients were compared between the two groups. According to the occurrence of bloodstream infection, the patients in modeling group were divided into bloodstream infection subgroup (154 cases) and non-bloodstream infection subgroup (165 cases). The total burn area, full-thickness burn area, combination of inhalation injury, implementation of mechanical ventilation, days of mechanical ventilation, and days of ICU stay of patients were compared between the two subgroups. The above-mentioned data between two groups were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of independent sample t test, chi-square test, and Mann-Whitney U test to screen out the factors with statistically significant differences in the subgroup univariate analysis of modeling group. The factors were used as variables, and binary multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to screen out the independent risk factors of bloodstream infection in patients with extremely severe burns, based on which the prediction model for bloodstream infection in patients with extremely severe burns of modeling group was established. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the prediction model predicting the risk of bloodstream infection of patients in modeling group was drawn, and the area under the ROC curve was calculated. The sensitivity, specificity, and the best prediction probability were calculated according to the Youden index. According to the occurrence of bloodstream infection, the patients in validation group were divided into bloodstream infection subgroup (21 cases) and non-bloodstream infection subgroup (67 cases). The prediction probability >the best prediction probability of model was used as the judgment standard of bloodstream infection. The prediction model was used to predict the occurrence of bloodstream infection of patients in the two subgroups of validation group, and the incidence, specificity, and sensitivity for predicting bloodstream infection were calculated. In addition, the ROC curve of the prediction model predicting the risk of bloodstream infection of patients in validation group was drawn, and the area under the ROC curve was calculated. Results:Compared with those of non-bloodstream infection group, the mortality of patients in bloodstream infection group was significantly higher ( χ2=8.485, P<0.01), the length of hospital stay was significantly increased ( Z=-3.003, P<0.01), but there was no significant change in gender, age, or body mass index ( P>0.05). In patients of bloodstream infection group, 110 strains of bacteria were detected in blood microbial culture, among which Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii were the top three bacteria, accounting for 35.45% (39/110), 26.36% (29/110), and 13.64% (15/110), respectively. Gender, age, body mass index, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, proportion of combination of inhalation injury, proportion of implementation of mechanical ventilation, days of mechanical ventilation, days of ICU stay, outcome, length of hospital stay, and proportion of complication of bloodstream infection of patients were similar between modeling group and validation group ( P>0.05). Compared with those of non-bloodstream infection subgroup in modeling group, the total burn area, full-thickness burn area, proportion of combination of inhalation injury, proportion of implementation of mechanical ventilation, days of mechanical ventilation, and days of ICU stay of patients in bloodstream infection subgroup were significantly increased ( Z=-4.429, t=-4.045, χ2=7.845, 8.845, Z=-3.904, -4.134, P<0.01). Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that total burn area, days of ICU stay, and combination of inhalation injury were the independent risk factors for bloodstream infection of patients in modeling group (odds ratio=1.031, 1.018, 2.871, 95% confidence interval=1.004-1.059, 1.006-1.030, 1.345-6.128, P<0.05 or P<0.01). In modeling group, the area under the ROC curve was 0.773 (95% confidence interval=0.708-0.838); the sensitivity was 64.6%, the specificity was 77.9%, and the best prediction probability was 0.335 when the Youden index was 0.425. The bloodstream infection incidence of patients predicted by the prediction model in validation group was 27.27% (24/88), with specificity of 82.09% (55/67) and sensitivity of 57.14% (12/21). The area under the ROC curve in validation group was 0.759 (95% confidence interval=0.637-0.882). Conclusions:The total burn area, days of ICU stay, and combination of inhalation injury are the risk factors of bloodstream infection in patients with extremely severe burns. The early prediction model for bloodstream infection risk in patients with extremely severe burns based on these factors has certain predictive value for burn centers with relatively stable treatment methods and bacterial epidemiology.
