Diagnostic value of serum procalcitonin and diastolic dysfunction in mortality rate of patients with sepsis in ICU

Abstract

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum procalcitonin and diastolic dysfunction in determining the mortality of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with a diagnosis of sepsis. Method In this cross-sectional study, which was performed on 40 patients with sepsis who were admitted to the ICU, in order to evaluate the serum levels of procalcitonin, from 40 patients in the days of admission, and 5 days Then 1 ml of venous blood sample was taken. All patients were clinically examined and patients who met the inclusion criteria underwent echocardiography with Konica Minolta ultrasound with an S4 MHz 2-4 probe.

Results The mean age of the participants was 17±63. Finally, 57% (23 people) were discharged and 42% (17 people) died. There is a significant relationship between diastolic dysfunction, CRP, SOFA score both at the beginning and during hospitalization, APACHE, E/e´, EWAVE, DDT, AWAVE, ejection fraction and procalcitonin 5 days later with mortality. However, with the LOGESTIC REGRESSION test, these factors were not among the risk factors.
