Abstract
Background
The incidence and mortality of sepsis remain high in the intensive care units (ICU). WBC, CRP and PCT are frequently used as tools for sepsis detection; however, none of them is specific to sepsis. The aim of the current study was to evaluate whether monocyte distribution width (MDW) is useful for early sepsis detection in critically ill patients.
Methods
Prospective cohort study was conducted in a critical care unit. MDW, CRP, PCT and WBC were evaluated for sepsis detection at the time of intensive care unit admission.
Results
There were 344 critically ill patients enrolled consecutively and categorized as no sepsis (200), sepsis (76) and septic shock (68). MDW in patients with sepsis diagnoses in ICU was notably higher than non-sepsis group (29.7 [24.7-35.7] vs 20.4 [18.6-22.7]; P < .001) under the assumption of no mean difference between the groups. Compared to other parameters, MDW was the best to discriminate sepsis from all other conditions (area under curve [AUC]: 0.877; 95% CI: 0.841 0.914), sensitivity 80.6, specificity 84.5 at a cut-off point of 24. MDW adjusted for age, sex and SOFA score was associated with mortality (OR: 1.056; 95% CI: 1.004-1.09; P < .01).
Conclusion
The measurement of MDW is a tool that can help in the early diagnosis of sepsis in ICU settings and its value is a factor associated with the prognosis of septic patients.
期刊介绍:
Revista Clínica Española published its first issue in 1940 and is the body of expression of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (SEMI).
The journal fully endorses the goals of updating knowledge and facilitating the acquisition of key developments in internal medicine applied to clinical practice. Revista Clínica Española is subject to a thorough double blind review of the received articles written in Spanish or English. Nine issues are published each year, including mostly originals, reviews and consensus documents.
