Abstract:

Objective To explore the application value of serum Syndecan-1 and endocan-1 combined with rapid sequential organ failure (qSOFA) score in the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis. Methods The severity of 118 patients with sepsis was divided into the general sepsis group (48 cases), the severe sepsis group (42 cases) and the septic shock group (28 cases). According to the prognosis, patients were divided into the death group (n=32) and the survival group (n=86). A total of 118 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group. Serum Syndecan-1 and endocan-1 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The value of serum Syndecan-1, endocan-1 and qSOFA scores in the early diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the area under the curve (AUC) was compared. Results Compared with the control group, levels of Syndecan-1, endocan-1 and qSOFA scores were increased in the study group (P<0.05). The serum Syndecan-1, endocan-1 and qSOFA score in the general sepsis group, the severe sepsis group and the septic shock group were significantly increased in sequence (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of serum Syndecan-1, endocan-1 and qSOFA score in the diagnosis of sepsis (0.967) were higher than that of Syndecan-1 (AUC=0.868), endocan-1 (AUC=0.798) and qSOFA score (AUC=0.873) alone (Z=6.541, 5.495 and 6.395, P<0.001). Compared with the survival group, the levels of Syndecan-1, endocan-1 and qSOFA scores were significantly increased in the death group (P<0.05). The combined prediction of AUC (0.983) was higher than that of Syndecan-1 (AUC=0.814), endocan-1 (AUC=0.834) and qSOFA score (AUC=0.924) alone (Z=6.596, 9.268 and 6.904, P<0.001). Conclusion Serum levels of Syndecan-1, endocan-1 and qSOFA are increased in patients with sepsis, and the combination of the three has higher clinical value in the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of sepsis.
