ABSTRACT
Background:
Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is one of the most ubiquitous complications of sepsis and is characterized by cognitive impairment, poor prognosis, and a lack of uniform clinical diagnostic criteria. Therefore, this study investigated the early diagnostic and prognostic value of serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in SAE.Methods:
This systematic review and meta-analysis systematically searched for clinical trials with serum NSE information in patients with sepsis in the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane databases from their inception to April 10, 2023. Included studies were assessed for quality and risk of bias using The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy-2 tool. The meta-analysis of the included studies was performed using Stata 17.0 and Review Manager version 5.4.Findings:
Eleven studies were included in this meta-analysis involving 1259 serum samples from 947 patients with sepsis. Our results showed that the serum NSE levels of patients with SAE were higher than those of the non-encephalopathy sepsis group (mean deviation, MD,12.39[95% CI 8.27-16.50, Z = 5.9, p < 0.00001]), and the serum NSE levels of patients with sepsis who died were higher than those of survivors (MD,4.17[95% CI 2.66-5.68, Z = 5.41, p < 0.00001]).Conclusion:
Elevated serum NSE levels in patients with sepsis are associated with the early diagnosis of SAE and mortality; therefore, serum NSE probably is a valid biomarker for the early diagnosis and prognosis of patients with SAE. Systematic review registration This study was registered in PROSPERO, CRD42023433111.
