Background:Timely decision making in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is very essential to improve the outcome of critically sick patients. Conventional scores like Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE IV) are quite cumbersome with calculations and take minimum 24 hours. Procalcitonin has shown to have prognostic value in ICU/Emergency department (ED) in disease states like pneumonia, sepsis etc. NTproBNP has demonstrated excellent diagnostic and prognostic importance in cardiac diseases. It has also been found elevated in non-cardiac diseases. We chose to study the prognostic utility of these markers on ICU admission.Settings and Design:Retrospective observational study.Materials and Methods:A Retrospective analysis of 100 eligible patients was done who had undergone PCT and NTproBNP measurements on ICU admission. Their correlations with all cause mortality, length of hospital stay, need for ventilator support, need for vasopressors were performed.Results:Among 100 randomly selected ICU patients, 28 were non-survivors. NTproBNP values on admission significantly correlated with all cause mortality (P = 0.036, AUC = 0.643) and morbidity (P = 0.000, AUC = 0.763), comparable to that of APACHE-IV score. PCT values on admission did not show significant association with mortality, but correlated well with morbidity and prolonged hospital length of stay (AUC = 0.616, P = 0.045).Conclusion:The current study demonstrated a good predictive value of NTproBNP, in terms of mortality and morbidity comparable to that of APACHE-IV score. Procalcitonin, however, was found to have doubtful prognostic importance. These findings need to be confirmed in a prospective larger study.

“…There are numerous factors affecting the prognosis of sepsis. It has been reported that the prognosis of sepsis is related to lactic acid, interleukin-6, PCT, CRP, HFABP and so on [7][8][9][10][11] . However, as the de nition describes, sepsis is a syndrome with extreme heterogeneity.…”

BackgroundWe studied the clinical profiles and the prognostic factors in patients with sepsis after thegastrointestinal tumor surgery in ICU.MethodsWe retrospectively screened patients who underwent the gastrointestinal tumor surgery at the Peking University Cancer Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019. Among them, 181 patients who were diagnosed with sepsis in ICU were enrolled in our study. Cox regression was performed for multivariate adjusted factor analyses.ResultsThe 90-day all-cause mortality rate was 11.1% in our study. The univariate analysis showed that BMI, shock within 48 h after entering ICU, number of blood leukocytes, the ratio of lymphocytes to neutrophils, INR, creatinine, procalcitonin, lactic acid, oxygenation index, SOFA score within 24 h after entering ICU, APACHE II score within 24 h after entering ICU were statistically significant. In multiple analysis, we found that BMI༞20 kg/m2 was a protective factor, while lactic acid༞3 mmol/L after entering the ICU and APACHE II score༞20 within 24 h after entering ICU were independent risk factors on the prognosis of sepsis after the gastrointestinal tumor surgery in ICU.ConclusionThe 90-day all-cause mortality rate was 11.1% in our study. BMI>20 kg/m2 was a protective factor, while lactic acid>3 mmol/L after entering the ICU and APACHE II score>20 within 24 h after entering ICU were independent risk factors on the prognosis of sepsis after the gastrointestinal tumor surgery in ICU.

Abstract Objectives: We studied the clinical profiles and the prognostic factors in patients with sepsis after thegastrointestinal tumor surgery in ICU.Methods: We retrospectively screened patients who underwent the gastrointestinal tumor surgery at the Peking University Cancer Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019. Among them, 181 patients who were diagnosed with sepsis in ICU were enrolled in our study. Cox regression was performed for multivariate adjusted factor analyses.Results: The 90-day all-cause mortality rate was 11.1% in our study. The univariate analysis showed that BMI, shock within 48h after entering ICU, number of blood leukocytes, the ratio of lymphocytes to neutrophils, INR, creatinine, procalcitonin, lactic acid, oxygenation index, SOFA score within 24h after entering ICU, APACHE II score within 24h after entering ICU were statistically significant. In multiple analysis, we found that BMI＞20kg/m2 was a protective factor, while lactic acid＞3 mmol/L after entering ICU and APACHE II score＞20 within 24h after entering ICU were independent risk factors for the prognosis of sepsis after the gastrointestinal tumor surgery in ICU. Conclusions: The 90-day all-cause mortality rate was 11.1% in our study. BMI＞20kg/m2 was a protective factor, while lactic acid＞3 mmol/L after entering ICU and APACHE II score＞20 within 24h after entering ICU were independent risk factors for the prognosis of sepsis after the gastrointestinal tumor surgery in ICU.
