Objective
Sepsis remains a major cause of mortality worldwide. While neutrophil CD64 (nCD64) has demonstrated superior performance in detecting sepsis compared to conventional biomarkers, its prognostic value remains unclear. This meta-analysis evaluates the performance of nCD64 in predicting mortality in patients with sepsis.
Design
Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Settings
A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was conducted up to January 28, 2025, to identify relevant studies.
Patients
Patients aged 16 years or older diagnosed with sepsis based on Sepsis-1, Sepsis-2, or Sepsis-3 criteria.
Interventions
Studies assessing the predictive accuracy of nCD64 for mortality and providing sufficient data for contingency table construction were included.
Main variables of interest
Pooled sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Overall predictive accuracy was assessed using the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve.
Results
Eight studies involving 756 patients were included. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and DOR of nCD64 for predicting mortality were 0.79 (95% CI: 0.68–0.87), 0.67 (95% CI: 0.56–0.77), and 7.71 (95% CI: 4.38–13.57), respectively. The predictive accuracy was 0.80.
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that nCD64 may serve as a valuable auxiliary biomarker for identifying patients with sepsis at higher risk of mortality.

Objective
The present study compares the clinical, functional and oncological characteristics of cancer patients assessed for admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), with the aim of identifying factors associated with admission and of developing specific predictive models.
Design
A prospective, multicenter observational study was conducted.
Setting
Thirty-three ICUs across Spain.
Patients or participants
Patients aged 18 years or older with solid tumors or hematological malignancies who were assessed for ICU admission between January and June 2024 were included.
Interventions
None.
Main variables of interest
Demographic, clinical, functional, oncological, and severity variables were collected. Differences between admitted and non-admitted patients were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression and LASSO-type predictive models.
Results
A total of 1341 patients were included, of whom 1177 (87.8%) were admitted to the ICU. Neutropenia, younger age, and recent oncologic treatment, among other factors, were associated with a higher likelihood of ICU admission. Patients with metastasis or progression of the hematological disease were less likely to be admitted. The predictive models demonstrated high discriminative capacity for both solid tumors (AUC 0.79) and hematological malignancies (AUC 0.82).
Conclusions
Prognostic models for ICU admission were developed by applying a multivariate approach and selecting variables based on their joint contribution to overall predictive accuracy rather than their isolated contribution. The full model (Model 1) demonstrated the best predictive capacity, with an AUC of 0.79 (95%CI: 0.75−0.84) for solid and an AUC of 0.82 (95%CI: 0.76−0.88) for hematological tumors.
