CXC chemokine ligand-12 (CXCL12) is released during brain injury. The objective of this study was to investigate relationship between serum CXCL12 concentration, mortality and trauma severity in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
We determined serum CXCL12 concentration of 132 controls and 132 patients with severe TBI. Trauma severity was assessed using Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score. The end-point of the study was 30-day mortality.
Serum CXCL12 concentration were significantly higher in the patients than in the controls (13.3±6.8 vs. 1.5±0.5 ng/ml, P<0.001). There was a negative correlation between CXCL12 concentration and GCS scores (r=-0.588, P<0.001). The optimal cutoff value of CXCL12 as a mortality indicator was estimated to be 15.4 ng/ml, which yielded a sensitivity of 71.0% and a specificity of 72.2%, with the area under curve at 0.808 [95% confidence (CI), 0.730-0.871]. Serum CXCL12 concentration>19.5 ng/ml were associated independently with 30-day mortality (odds ratio, 6.951; 95% CI, 2.027-18.477; P<0.001) and 30-day overall survival (hazard ratio, 4.398; 95% CI, 2.088-15.286; P<0.001).
Increased serum CXCL12 concentration is associated highly with trauma severity and mortality following TBI.
CXC趋化因子配体12(CXCL12)在脑损伤时释放。本研究的目的是探讨创伤性脑损伤(TBI)患者血清CXCL12浓度、死亡率与创伤严重程度之间的关系。
我们测定了132名对照者和132名重度TBI患者的血清CXCL12浓度。使用格拉斯哥昏迷量表(GCS)评分评估创伤严重程度。研究的终点是30天死亡率。
患者血清CXCL12浓度显著高于对照组(13.3±6.8对1.5±0.5 ng/ml,P<0.001)。CXCL12浓度与GCS评分呈负相关(r=-0.588,P<0.001)。CXCL12作为死亡率指标的最佳截断值估计为15.4 ng/ml,其敏感性为71.0%,特异性为72.2%,曲线下面积为0.808 [95%置信区间(CI),0.730 - 0.871]。血清CXCL12浓度>19.5 ng/ml与30天死亡率(优势比,6.951;95% CI,2.027 - 18.477;P<0.001)和30天总生存率(风险比,4.398;95% CI,2.088 - 15.286;P<0.001)独立相关。
血清CXCL12浓度升高与TBI后的创伤严重程度和死亡率高度相关。
