Abstract
Background: Sepsis, characterized by life-threatening organ dysfunction, stems from an unregulated host response. Timely identification is pivotal for enhancing the prognosis of sepsis patients.
Objective: This study aims to explore the diagnostic and prognostic values of alkaline phosphatase on the surface membrane of neutrophils (mNAP) in peripheral blood among sepsis patients.
Design: The study employed a retrospective design.
Setting: This study was conducted at Donghai County People's Hospital.
Participants: A total of 180 sepsis patients were selected and categorized into the sepsis shock group (n=45) and the sepsis non-shock group (n=135). Additionally, 35 patients with non-infectious systemic inflammatory response syndrome served as the control group.
Interventions: mNAP was assessed via flow cytometry, while serum procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured through immunoassay.
Primary outcome measures: (1) Changes in mNAP, PCT, and CRP. (2) Correlation of mNAP with CRP and PCT in sepsis patients. (3) Diagnostic values of mNAP, PCT, and CRP in sepsis.
Results: Statistically significant differences in mNAP, PCT, and CRP were observed between the sepsis shock group, the sepsis non-shock group, and the control group (P = .000). The median value of mNAP (22627 Ab/c) in the 28-day death group was significantly higher than that (5100 Ab/c) in the survival group (P = .000). Spearman rank correlation analysis indicated a positive correlation between mNAP, PCT, and CRP in sepsis patients (P < .01).
Conclusions: Both mNAP and PCT exhibit superior diagnostic specificity and sensitivity compared to CRP. While mNAP demonstrates similar sensitivity to PCT in diagnosing sepsis, its diagnostic specificity surpasses that of PCT. mNAP holds promise as a novel marker for the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis.
期刊介绍：
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
