Sepsis is a life-threating and time-depending condition. This study examined the association between sepsis etiology and variations in capillary and serum lactate levels, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and diastolic shock index in emergency department patients.
This study, conducted between 2021 and 2022 at the Emergency Department of Ferrara, included the following criteria: (i) clinical suspect of infectious disease; (ii) qSOFA ≥2; (iii) age ≥18 years; (iv) signed informed consent. Etiologies were: (i) negative cultures (NC); (ii) Gram positive (GP); (iii) Gram negative (GN); (iv) fungal infections (FI).
Among the 200 included patients, 104 (52.0%) had NC, 36 (18.0%) GP, 53 (26.5%) GN and 7 (3.5%) FI. CLs ( = 0.006) and SLs ( < 0.001) were different according to etiology being higher in GP infections. NLR ( = 0.035) was higher in GN infections, while DSI ( = 0.008) increased in FI. Mortality was not influenced by the etiology.
All parameters differed according to sepsis etiology, thus improving early prediction of sepsis etiology and its pharmacological management.
脓毒症是一种危及生命且时间紧迫的病症。本研究调查了急诊科患者中脓毒症病因与毛细血管和血清乳酸水平、中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值以及舒张期休克指数变化之间的关联。
本研究于2021年至2022年在费拉拉急诊科进行,纳入标准如下:(i)临床怀疑为传染病;(ii)快速序贯器官衰竭评估(qSOFA)≥2;(iii)年龄≥18岁;(iv)签署知情同意书。病因包括:(i)培养结果为阴性(NC);(ii)革兰氏阳性菌(GP);(iii)革兰氏阴性菌(GN);(iv)真菌感染(FI)。
在纳入的200例患者中,104例(52.0%)为培养结果阴性,36例(18.0%)为革兰氏阳性菌感染,53例(26.5%)为革兰氏阴性菌感染,7例(3.5%)为真菌感染。根据病因不同,毛细血管乳酸水平(P = 0.006)和血清乳酸水平(P < 0.001)有所差异,在革兰氏阳性菌感染中更高。中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(P = 0.035)在革兰氏阴性菌感染中更高,而舒张期休克指数(P = 0.008)在真菌感染中升高。死亡率不受病因影响。
所有参数均因脓毒症病因不同而有所差异,从而改善了脓毒症病因的早期预测及其药物治疗。
