Abstract
Background
Septic shock is the most serious complication of sepsis, with more secure and efficient biomarkers urgently needed. Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and serum procalcitonin (PCT) show involvement in predicting septic shock prognosis.
Objective
Herein, we explored the clinical value of the SII-PCT combination in the short-term prognosis of septic shock patients.
Methods
Totally 200 septic shock patients were analyzed retrospectively and allocated into the survival and death groups upon 28-day in-hospital outcomes. Correlations of SII, PCT, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II)/sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores, C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum creatinine (Scr) were analyzed using Spearman. The influencing factors of SII and serum PCT for short-term poor prognosis were analyzed using logistic multivariate regression model. The auxiliary predictive value of SII, PCT, and their combination for short-term adverse septic shock prognosis was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve. Differences in the area under the curve (AUC) were compared using MedCalc.
Results
The death group had higher APACHE II/SOFA scores, LYM, CRP, Scr, SII, and PCT levels than the survival group. SII and PCT were positively correlated with APACHE II and SOFA scores, LYM, CRP, and Scr, and were independent risk factors influencing the adverse septic shock prognosis. The AUC of the SII-PCT combination in predicting short-term adverse septic shock prognosis was 0.893 (0.841-0.932), with 76.12% sensitivity and 87.97% specificity, with the combination showing a higher AUC than SII/PCT alone.
Conclusions
The SII-PCT combination helps predict the adverse prognosis of septic shock patients.
