Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical diagnostic value of serum sTREM2 level in patients with cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)and its correlation with depression and its severity.Methods A total of 208 CSVD inpatients admitted in Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University from December 2023 to November 2024 were en-rolled,and according to their score of HAMD,they were divided into a depression group(CSVD+D group,112 cases)and a non-depression group(CSVD—D group,96 cases).According to the 17-item HAMD,the depression group(CSVD+D group)was further divided into mild(8-17,n=80),moderate(18-24,n=27)and severe depression(≥25,n=5)subgroups.Another 208 healthy individuals who taking health checkups in the same period were selected and served as the control group.The general clinical data were compared among the groups and subgroups,and mul-tivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to identify the risk factors for the occurrence of depression and the relationship between sTREM2 and depression severity in the CSVD patients.ROC curve was plotted to evaluate the predicative performance of serum sTREM2 level for the occurrence of depression in the CSVD patients.Results The serum sTREM2 level was remark-ably higher in the CSVD patients than the control group(5.95±3.82 μg/L vs 1.40±1.21 μg/L,P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis indicated that the AUC value of serum sTREM2 level in predicting CSVD was 0.917,with a sensitivity of 87.52％and a specificity of 85.64％,and an optimal cut-ff value of 2.272 μg/L.The CSVD+D group also had significantly higher serum sTREM2 level than the CSVD—D group(6.40±3.93 μg/L vs 5.01±2.87 μg/L,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum sTREM2 level was an independent influencing factor for occurrence of depression in the CSVD patients(OR=1.115,95％CI:1.019-1.220,P=0.018).Statistical difference was also observed in the patients without and with mild,moderate and severe depression(P＜0.05).Multivariate ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed that serum sTREM2 level was an independent influencing factor for mild,moderate and severe depression(OR=1.113,95％CI:1.013-1.223,P=0.026;OR=1.135,95％CI:1.004-1.284,P=0.043).The AUC value of serum sTREM2 level in predicting depressive symptoms in CSVD patients was 0.603.Conclusion Serum sTREM2 is closely associated with CSVD patients.Its level may provide certain reference value for clinical diagnosis of CSVD,and has potentially predictive value for the occurrence of depression in the CSVD patients.
