红细胞分布宽度与血小板计数比值对急诊脓毒症患者预后的预测价值

Predictive value of red blood cell distribution width to platelet count ratio for prognosis of patients with sepsis in emergency department

目的:观察急诊科脓毒症患者红细胞分布宽度与血小板计数比值(RPR)的变化趋势并评价其对脓毒症患者预后的预测价值。方法:连续收集2018年11月—2020年12月期间中国康复研究中心急诊科收治的223例脓毒症患者,记录患者的一般临床资料、入院24 h内急性生理与慢性健康状况评分系统Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ)评分、序贯器官衰竭评分(SOFA)和入院后第1、2、4、7天的红细胞分布宽度(RDW)、血小板(PLT)计数,计算RPR(RPR=RDW/PLT)。根据是否发生院内死亡将患者分为死亡组110例和存活组113例。采用广义估计方程分析两组患者入院后第1、2、4、7天RPR的变化趋势及组间差异;绘制受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线,评价不同时间RPR对脓毒症患者院内死亡的预测价值;根据最佳截断值区分患者是否为高RPR,采用logistic回归分析法分析脓毒症患者院内死亡的危险因素。结果:入组223例脓毒症患者,其中院内死亡110例,院内病死率为49.33%。RPR的组间(Waldχ^(2)=8.979,P=0.003)和时点(Waldχ^(2)=13.028,P=0.005)的整体差异均有统计学意义,且组间和时点存在交互作用(Waldχ^(2)=14.660,P=0.002),即存活组和死亡组RPR随时间的变化不同。存活组的RPR第2天高于第1天(P=0.043),第7天时降低,小于第4天(P<0.001),并降到第1天以下(P=0.048);而死亡组RPR随时间延长呈上升趋势,第7天时仍大于第1天(P=0.024)。与存活组相比,第4天(P=0.034)与第7天(P=0.001)时死亡组RPR高于存活组;第1天和第2天时,与存活组相比,死亡组RPR有升高的趋势,但两组差异并无统计学意义(P>0.05)。第7天RPR预测脓毒症患者院内死亡的ROC曲线下面积为0.741(95%CI:0.642~0.840,P<0.001),以0.093为最佳分界点,其敏感度为0.690,特异度为0.729,约登指数为0.419。logistic回归分析结果显示:年龄(OR=1.067,95%CI:1.018~1.119)、APACHEⅡ评分(OR=1.065,95%CI:1.004~1.131)、白蛋白(OR=0.826,95%CI:0.755~0.903)、肌钙蛋白T(OR=9.719,95%CI:1.206~78.311)、第7天高RPR(OR=4.560,95%CI:1.999~10.403)是脓毒症患者院内死亡的影响因素。结论:RPR持续升高可提示脓毒症患者预后不良,入院第7天RPR水平对评估脓毒症患者预后的价值最大,动态检测RPR水平有助于判断脓毒症患者的预后。

Objective:To explore the predictive value of dynamic changes in red blood cell distribution width to platelet count ratio(RPR)for prognosis of sepsis patients in emergency department.Methods:From November 2018 to December 2020,patients with sepsis admitted to the emergency department of China Rehabilitation Research Center were enrolled.Data of the patients’general clinical information,acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ)score,sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)score in 24 h after admission the red blood cell distribution width(RDW)and platelet count(PLT)on 1,2,4,7 days after admission were collected.The ratio of RDW to PLT(RPR)was calculated.The patients were divided into the survival group and non-survival group according to the in-hospital outcome.The generalized estimating equations were conducted to compare data from repeated measures.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to evaluate the predictive value of dynamic RPR levels for prognosis of sepsis.The optimal cutoff value was used to distinguish patients with high RPR and logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of in-hospital mortality.Results:A total of 223 sepsis patients were enrolled,and among them,110 patients died in hospital with an in-hospital mortality of 49.33%.There were significant differences in RPR between groups(Waldχ^(2)=8.979,P=0.003)and time points(Waldχ^(2)=13.028,P=0.005),and an interaction effect was noted between groups and time(Waldχ^(2)=14.660,P=0.002).The RPR level increased significantly on day 2(P=0.043 vs.day 1)and decreased on day 7(P<0.001 vs.day 4)in survival group,while in non-survival group,an overall upward trend of RPR level according to the time was observed.The RPR level on day 7 was significantly lower than that on day 1(P=0.048)in survival group,but still significantly higher than that on day 1(P=0.024)in non-survival group.Compared with patients in survival group,patients in non-survival group showed a higher RPR level on day 4(P=0.034)and day 7(P=0.001),while there was no significant difference between the two groups on day 1 and day 2(P>0.05).The area under ROC curve of RPR on day 7 for predicting in-hospital death of sepsis patients was 0.741(95%CI:0.642-0.840,P<0.001).The cutoff value of prediction was 0.093 with the Yoden index of 0.419,which yielded a sensitivity of 0.690 and a specificity of 0.729.Binary logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR=1.067,95%CI:1.018-1.119)、APACHEⅡscore(OR=1.065,95%CI:1.004-1.131)、albumin(OR=0.826,95%CI:0.755-0.903)、troponin-T(OR=9.719,95%CI:1.206-78.311)and high RPR on day 7(OR=4.560,95%CI:1.999-10.403)were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality of patients with sepsis.Conclusion:The continuous increase of RPR indicates poor prognosis,and the RPR level on day 7 is one of the most important indicators to evaluate the prognosis of patients with sepsis.Dynamic determination of RPR can evaluate the prognosis of sepsis patients.
