Sepsis is a major cause of mortality worldwide. Early identification and treatment are critical to improve survival. Band count has been used as part of SIRS criteria for the early identification of potentially septic patients. Unfortunately, band count requires manual interpretation. This leads to increased potential for intraobserver variability. Immature granulocytes are counted in an automated fashion, which has the potential to improve accuracy and reduce costs. We aim to compare the band percentage and immature granulocyte percentage to set the threshold for immature granulocyte percentage equal to the sensitivity of > 10% band count. A retrospective chart review was conducted at a single academic medical center. Data from patients with SIRS criteria and measured immature granulocyte and band percentages were utilized to explore potential associations between immature granulocyte percentages and band percentages. Data were analyzed using Spearman correlations, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, and logistic regressions. We found no significant associations between immature granulocyte percentage and band percentage or other SIRS criteria. We conclude that immature granulocyte percentage does not correlate with band percentage in the setting of possible infection.
脓毒症是全球范围内主要的死亡原因。早期识别和治疗对于提高生存率至关重要。杆状核细胞计数已被用作全身炎症反应综合征(SIRS)标准的一部分,用于早期识别潜在的脓毒症患者。不幸的是,杆状核细胞计数需要人工解读。这导致观察者间变异性增加的可能性。未成熟粒细胞以自动化方式计数,这有可能提高准确性并降低成本。我们旨在比较杆状核细胞百分比和未成熟粒细胞百分比,以设定未成熟粒细胞百分比的阈值,使其等于杆状核细胞计数敏感性>10%时的阈值。在一家学术医疗中心进行了回顾性病历审查。利用符合SIRS标准且测量了未成熟粒细胞和杆状核细胞百分比的患者数据,探讨未成熟粒细胞百分比与杆状核细胞百分比之间的潜在关联。使用Spearman相关性分析、Wilcoxon秩和检验和逻辑回归分析数据。我们发现未成熟粒细胞百分比与杆状核细胞百分比或其他SIRS标准之间无显著关联。我们得出结论,在可能感染的情况下,未成熟粒细胞百分比与杆状核细胞百分比不相关。
