Procalcitonin as an early predictive marker for infectious complications after hepatectomy.
Introduction: The present study aimed to determine the clinical value of serum procalcitonin (PCT) level in predicting postoperative infections after hepatectomy.
Methods: Medical records of 301 consecutive patients who underwent hepatectomy were retrospectively reviewed. We divided the patients into infection-positive and infection-negative groups. We investigated the changes in perioperative inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein level (CRP) and PCT level. Associations between infectious complications and perioperative inflammatory markers were evaluated to identify predictive factors of infectious complications after hepatectomy.
Results: Postoperative infectious complications occurred in 67 (22.3 %) patients. The areas under the curve (AUCs) using PCT levels on postoperative days (PODs) 1 and 3 were 0.794 and 0.845, respectively, whereas those using CRP were 0.493 and 0.641, respectively. PCT level had a better AUC than CRP for predicting postoperative infectious complications on PODs 1 and 3. Multivariate analysis indicated PCT levels on PODs 1 and 3 were an independent predictor of infectious complications after hepatectomy.
Conclusion: PCT is the only predictive marker for infectious complications after hepatectomy and is valuable for detecting infectious complications from POD 1.
期刊介绍:
''Digestive Surgery'' presents a comprehensive overview in the field of gastrointestinal surgery. Interdisciplinary in scope, the journal keeps the specialist aware of advances in all fields that contribute to improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal disease. Particular emphasis is given to articles that evaluate not only recent clinical developments, especially clinical trials and technical innovations such as new endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures, but also relevant translational research. Each contribution is carefully aligned with the need of the digestive surgeon. Thus, the journal is an important component of the continuing medical education of surgeons who want their practice to benefit from a familiarity with new knowledge in all its dimensions.
