ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis of sepsis is the key to timely, targeted treatment. Cell population data (CPD) has been widely used in many diseases, but its predictive value for early diagnosis and the clinical outcome of sepsis remains unclear. Therefore, this paper discusses whether peripheral blood leukocyte parameters can be used as predictive indicators for early diagnosis and the clinical outcome of sepsis.
METHODS: A retrospective study of 45 patients with sepsis, 53 patients with nonseptic infections, and 86 healthy check-ups admitted to Gansu Provincial Hospital from January 2021 to June 2022 was done using a hematology analyzer.
RESULTS: The results of LYMPH#, HFLC#, IG#, NE-WX, LY-WX, LY-WY, and MO-WX showed better diagnostic efficiency in the sepsis group and nonseptic infection group. When the seven differential leukocyte parameters were used to establish diagnostic models, the sensitivity and specificity were 82.20% and 77.40%, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that LYMPH# and HFLC# were positively correlated with PCT (P < 0.05). The clinical outcome of sepsis showed that the leukocyte parameters of discharged WBC and LY-X had better predictive efficacy. When the two differential leukocyte parameters were used to establish diagnostic models, the sensitivity and specificity were 90.90% and 100.00%. Cox regression analysis showed that leukocyte parameters of discharged WBC and LY-X were independent predictors of clinical outcomes (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Leucocyte parameters HFLC#, IG#, NE-WX, LY-WX, LY-WY, and MO-WX had a certain auxiliary effect on the early diagnosis of sepsis leukocyte parameters of discharged WBC and LY-X were independent predictors of clinical outcomes in patients with sepsis. Therefore, peripheral blood leukocyte parameters may have predictive value for early diagnosis and the clinical outcome of sepsis, but large-scale retrospective studies are still needed to prove our preliminary results.
