SummaryBackground:Severe sepsis and/or trauma complicated by multiple organ dysfunction syndrome are the leading causes of death in critically ill patients. The aim of this prospective single-centre study was to assess the prognostic value and daily trend of interleukin-6 (IL-6), neutrophil CD64 expression, C-reactive protein (CRP) and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) regarding outcome in critically ill patients with severe trauma and/or severe sepsis. Outcome measure was hospital mortality.Methods:One hundred and two critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit of a tertiary university hospital were enrolled in this prospective study. Blood samples were collected on admission (day 1), days 2 and 3.Results:CD64 index was 1.6-fold higher on day 1 and 1.78-fold higher on day 2 in non-survivors (p<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) for the CD64 index on day 1 for outcome was 0.727. At a cut-off level of 2.80 sensitivity was 75% and specificity was 65%. Patients with CD64 index level on day 1 higher than 2.80 had 2.4-fold higher probability of dying. Odds ratio is 2.40; 95% CI 0.60–9.67.Conclusions:CD64 index on day 1 is a fairly good predictor of outcome. AUCs for IL-6, CRP and LBP were < 0.55, suggesting these biomarkers failed to predict outcome.

We studied the usefulness of serum procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) levels and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, in differentiating between systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis in critically ill patients.Methods. In this single centre prospective observational study we included all consecutive patients admitted with SIRS or sepsis to the ICU. Blood samples for measuring CRP, PCT, IL-6 and LBP were taken every day until ICU discharge.Results. A total of 76 patients were included, 32 with sepsis and 44 with SIRS. Patients with sepsis were sicker on admission and had a higher mortality. CRP, PCT, IL-6 and LBP levels were significantly higher in patients with sepsis as compared to SIRS. With PCT levels in the first 24 hours after ICU admission <2 ng/mL, ssepsis was virtually excluded (negative predictive value 97%). With PCT >10 ng/mL, sepsis with bacterial infection was very likely (positive predictive value 88%). PCT was best at discriminating between SIRS and sepsis with the highest area under the ROC curve (0.95, 95% CI 0.90–0.99).Discussion. This study showed that PCT is more useful than LBP, CRP and IL-6 in differentiating sepsis from SIRS.

Background Sepsis and septic shock are formidable and complications in surgery with mortality 20–50%. In the pathogenesis of sepsis, a significant role belongs to bacterial endotoxin (LPS - liposaccharide).Aim of study Assessment of the efficacy of selective lipopolysaccharides hemosorption (SLH) in treatment of sepsis.Material and methods We examined 65 patients with developed sepsis or suspected presence of gram-negative infection. Patients were retrospectively divided into two groups. In Group 1, 27 patients received Polymyxin B hemoperfusion using Toraymyxin cartridges. In Group 2 (38 patients), adsorber Alteco (LPSA) was used.Results It was established that 28-day mortality was 11.1% in Polymyxin group and 28.9% in LPS group A, p = 0.091, 60-day mortality was 33.3 and 55.3%, respectively (p=0.065). The use of SLH contributed to a decrease in the activity of endotoxin (EAA) from 0.52 (0.39; 0.65) to 0.40 (0.36; 0.57) EU (p=0.330) in Polymyxin group and from 0.59 ( 0.42; 0.72) to 0.54 (0.40; 0.81) EU ( p = 0.981) in the LPS-A group. At the same time, the level of procalcitonin (PCT) in the blood statistically significantly decreased from 8.4 (3.6; 29.0) to 4.8 (1.9; 36.3) ng/ml (p=0.0117) only in the LPS-A group. The level of C-reactive protein (CRB) in the blood statistically significantly decreased only in the Polymyxin group, from 205 (154; 264) to 162 (106; 202) mg/L (p<0.001). After SPH procedures, there was a tendency to a decrease in the level of blood cytokines in both groups. Conclusion 1. The trend of better survival among patients was noted during hemoperfusion when using Polymyxin B in comparison with the results of adsorption of lipopolysaccharide with Alteco cartridges: so, 28-day mortality was 11.1 and 28.9%, respectively (statistically not significant).2. As a result, the procedure of selective lipopolysaccharides hemosorbtion on hemosorbents with Polymyxin B in blood significantly decreased level of C-reactive protein (21%), there was statistically insignificant decrease in the level of endotoxin activity (23.1%), lipopolysaccharide binding protein (21.6%), procalcitonin (2.4 times), presepsin (20%), as well as the level of interleukin-6 (3.4 times) and interleukin-10 (1.6 times) . Adsorption of lipopolysaccharide with Alteco cartridges leads to a statistically significant reduction of procalcitonin in blood (1.8 times), and statistically insignificant decrease of: endotoxin activity (9.3%), lipopolysaccharide binding protein (28.6%), interleukin-6 (3.8 times), interleukin-10 (7.1 times) and soluble receptor to interleukin-2 (2.2 times).
