Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation of serum human epididymis protein 4(HE4)and lung injury Prediction(LIPS)score with sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)and 28 d mortality.Methods A total of 207 patients with sepsis admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to January 2024 were selected.According to the presence or absence of ARDS,the patients were divided into ARDS group(73 cases)and non-ARDS group(134 cases).According to the 28 d survival,the ARDS group was further di-vided into death group(26 cases)and survival group(47 cases).HE4 level was detected by electrochemilumi-nescence,and LIPS score was calculated.Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influ-encing factors of death in ARDS patients.Point biserial correlation was used to analyze the correlation between serum HE4,LIPS score and 28 d death in ARDS patients.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the value of serum HE4 and LIPS score in the diagnosis of sepsis-associated ARDS and predicting 28 d mortality.Results Compared with non-ARDS group,the serum HE4 level and LIPS score were significantly increased in ARDS group(P<0.05).The independent risk factors for sepsis-associated ARDS were increased SOFA score,increased blood lactic acid,increased HE4 and increased LIPS score(P<0.05).The 28 d mortality of 73 patients with sepsis-associated ARDS was 35.62%(26/73).Compared with the survival group,the serum HE4 and LIPS scores were increased in the death group(P<0.05).Serum HE4 and LIPS scores were positively correlated with 28 d mortality in patients with sepsis-associated ARDS(r=0.605,0.579,P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum HE4 combined with LIPS score in the di-agnosis of sepsis-associated ARDS was 0.909,which was larger than 0.828 and 0.806 of serum HE4 and LIPS score alone(Z=3.360,3.387,all P<0.05).The AUC of serum HE4 combined with LIPS score in predicting 28 d mortality of patients with sepsis-associated ARDS was 0.891,which was larger than 0.808 and 0.779 of by serum HE4 and LIPS score alone(Z=2.028,2.017,all P<0.05).Conclusion The elevated serum HE4 level and LIPS score are independent risk factors for sepsis-associated ARDS,and are closely related to 28 d mortality.The combination of serum HE4 and LIPS score has a high value in the diagnosis of sepsis-associated ARDS and the prediction of 28 d mortality.
