Abstract:

Objective To measure platelet count (PLT) and coagulation indexes in sepsis patients at admission, and to analyze the predictive value of PLT and coagulation indexes in the 28-day survival of sepsis patients. Methods It was a retrospective study involving 91 sepsis patients admitted to Wusong Central Hospital from January 2019 to January 2021. The first diagnosis time of in the intensive care unit, and the survival statue within 28 days were considered as the starting and end point of the study, respectively. According to the 28-day survival status of sepsis patients, they were assigned into the death group ( n=31) and the survival group ( n=60). The predictive value of PLT and coagulation indexes in the 28-day survival status of sepsis patients was analyzed. Results There were 30/91 (32.97%) sepsis patients died within 28 days. The fibrinogen (FIB) and PLT levels in the death group were significantly lower than those in the survival group at admission, while the prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), D-dimer (D-D), Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) scores, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Assessment System II were significantly higher than those in the survival group (all P<0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that FIB, PLT, PT, APTT and D-D were independent risk factors for 28-day mortality in sepsis patients (all P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of FIB, PLT, PT, APTT, and D-D at admission in predicting the 28-day survival of sepsis was larger than 0.80, indicating a certain predictive value. Conclusion The FIB, PLT, PT, APTT, and D-D have a certain value in predicting the 28-day survival status of sepsis patients.
