Abstract
Objective: This study investigated the clinical significance of plasma sB7-H3 and YKL-40 levels in children with refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP).
Methods: A total of 182 RMPP patients (103 general Mycoplasma pneumoniae patients and 79 RMPP patients) were included. sB7-H3, YKL-40, and other inflammatory factors were measured. Independent factors associated with the early diagnosis of RMPP were determined. The value of each independent risk factor in predicting RMPP was evaluated.
Results: The RMPP group reported significantly longer hospital stays and total fever durations. Levels of C-reactive protein, D-dimer, IL-13, IL-6/-10, sB7-H3, and YKL-40 were higher in the RMPP group. sB7-H3 was positively correlated with IL-13, IL-6, and IL-4, whereas YKL-40 was positively correlated with all of the above indicators (IL-5 was also included). sB7-H3 and YKL-40 were independent risk factors for RMPP. The critical values for sB7-H3 and YKL-40 were 3.525 and 313.3 ng/mL, respectively. sB7-H3 and YKL-40 had areas under the curve of 0.734 and 0.859, respectively. YKL-40 had high sensitivity and specificity of 88.61 and 87.38%, respectively. Both indicators had predictive value, YKL-40 had the highest predictive ability for RMPP.
Conclusion: Detection of sB7-H3 and YKL-40 levels in the plasma may be useful in diagnosing RMPP early in the disease process.
