Abstract
Objective: This study was undertaken to assess the association between the likelihood of surgical recurrence and serum ECP and TIgE levels in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).
Methodology: Clinical information was gathered retrospectively from 166 cases of surgically treated CRSwNP as well as 60 cases of chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP). A comparative analysis on serum levels of total immunoglobulin E (TIgE) and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) was carried out between the two groups. The CRSwNP patients were assigned into recurrence and non-recurrence groups based on the absence/presence of disease recurrence after a 2-year follow-up. An analysis was conducted on the correlation between the patients' clinical data and their serum ECP and TIgE levels. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were utilized to assess the clinical utility of these two biomarkers.
Results: The CRSwNP participants had higher serum levels of ECP and TIgE (4.28 ± 0.81 > 3.58 ± 0.77 ng/L, P < 0.001; 52.99 ± 8.62 > 15.65 ± 3.25 KU/L, P < 0.001) compared to CRSsNP participants. Univariate analysis indicated that neutrophil ratio, lymphocyte ratio, Lund-Kennedy score, Lund-Mackay score, SNOT-22 score, olfactory function score, and postoperative recurrence were significantly correlated with serum ECP and TIgE levels. Higher serum levels of TIgE and ECP (4.89 ± 0.79 < 4.11 ± 0.72, P < 0.001; 58.74 ± 8.27 < 51.40 ± 8.04, P < 0.001) were detected in the recurrence groups vs. the non-recurrence group. Multivariate analysis showed that serum ECP and TIgE were independent risk factors for recurrence of CRSwNP. Serum ECP and TIgE levels were found to be predictive of postoperative recurrence risk in CRSwNP patients (AUC: 0.77, 0.74, 0.84; P < 0.05) according to ROC curve analysis. Significant differences were not observed in any general clinical data.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that elevated serum ECP and TIgE levels in patients with CRSwNP can be as good predictors for the risk of recurrence after endoscopic sinus surgery.
目的:本研究旨在评估慢性鼻窦炎合并鼻息肉(CRSwNP)患者手术复发的可能性与血清ECP和TIgE水平之间的关系。方法:回顾性收集166例手术治疗的CRSwNP和60例无鼻息肉的慢性鼻窦炎(CRSsNP)的临床资料。比较分析两组患者血清总免疫球蛋白E (TIgE)和嗜酸性阳离子蛋白(ECP)水平。CRSwNP患者在2年随访后根据有无疾病复发分为复发组和非复发组。分析患者临床资料与血清ECP、TIgE水平的相关性。使用受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线来评估这两种生物标志物的临床应用。结果:CRSwNP患者血清ECP和TIgE水平较高(4.28±0.81 bb0 3.58±0.77 ng/L, P 15.65±3.25 KU/L, P P P P P P)。结论:CRSwNP患者血清ECP和TIgE水平升高可作为内镜鼻窦手术后复发风险的良好预测指标。
期刊介绍:
Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles.
Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery.
Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact.
The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.
