Objective:To evaluate the prognostic value of extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) , soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1(sICAM-1) and Krebs yon den lungen-6 (KL-6) in severe pneumonia patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (ARDS).Methods:A prospective study was conducted in Respiratory Intensive Care Unit of the Affiliated Zhengzhou Central Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2017 to February 2020. The study included 65 severe pneumonia patients with ARDS, who was performed by measurement of pulse index continuous cardiac output and survived more than 3days after admission. The Extravascular Lung Water Index (EVLWI) , sICAM-1, KL-6 and Oxygenation Index(OI) on 1st, 3rd and 5th day were detected. APACHEⅡ score, patient survival events (days) and survival outcome were recorded. Correlation analysis between EVLWI, sICAM-1, KL-6 and OI was performed on the 1st, 3rd and 5th day after admission. Independent risk factors of mortality in severe pneumonia patients with ARDS were analyzed by multiple logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn, and the prognostic value of each parameter was assessed finally.Results:The PCT, EVLWI, sICAM-1, KL-6 and APACHEⅡ score in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group ( P<0.05) at RICU admission, and the length of RICU stay was significantly shorter than that in the survival group ( P<0.05), while differences in other clinical characteristics between two groups were not statistically significant ( P>0.05) . These parameters including levels of EVLWI, sICAM-1, KL-6, Procalcitonin and APACHE Ⅱscore in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group on the 1st, 3rd and 5th day ( P<0.05), whereas the OI was significantly lower than that of the survival group on the 3rd and 5th day ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that EVLWI, sICAM-1, KL-6 level were significantly related with the mortality of these patients. The levels of sICAM-1, kl-6 and EVLWI on 1st, 3rd and 5th day after RICU admission showed a significant negative correlation with OI ( P<0.001). Whereas, The levels of sICAM-1, kL-6 on 1st, 3rd and 5th day showed a significant positive correlation with EVLWI ( P<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of sICAM-1, KL-6 combined with EVLWI in prognosis evaluation on 1st, 3rd and 5th day were 75.0%, 84.4%, 85.0%, 66.7%, 80.0%, 86.7%, respectively. The AUC was 0.864, 0.881, 0.892 on 1st, 3rd and 5th day, respectively ( P<0.001), which had a better prognostic value than each of them. Conclusions:EVLWI, sICAM-1 and KL-6 were independent risk factors for the prognosis of severe pneumonia patients with ARDS. The combination of EVLWI, sICAM-1 and KL-6 might be important in early predicting the prognosis of the 28d mortality.

Early diagnosis of drug-induced pneumonitis (DP) is important because timely drug withdrawal will significantly reduce the risk of irreversible fibrosis. Although DP is diagnosed based on the patient's history, physical examinations and laboratory data, a definitive diagnosis of DP is difficult because the clinical and laboratory data are often nonspecific. And the diagnostic methods for DP are still an area of debate. Furthermore, DP has characteristics similar to infectious pneumonia and collagen-vascular disease-related pulmonary fibrosis.Thus, infectious pneumonia and collagen-vascular disease-related pulmonary fibrosis are important considerations for the differential diagnosis of DP. The drug-induced lymphocyte stimulation test (DLST) is widely used to diagnose drug-induced pneumonia in Japan. However, the DLST is not reliable for the diagnosis of DP because the false-positive and-negative rates are relatively high and there are other limitations with the DLST.On the other hand, serum KL-6 produced by type II pneumocytes is a useful marker for the diagnosis of DP, because serum KL-6 levels are high in DP but low in bacterial pneumonia, <i>Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia </i>and <i>Chlamydia pneumoniae </i>pneumonia. Other laboratory methods related to DP are also described in this article. Some herbal medicines may also induce DP. However, in several reports of herbal medicine-induced pneumonitis, DP was often diagnosed with DLST and/or infection was not excluded. Once the diagnosis of DP is definite, we should not continue using the causative drug, even if it is useful for the treatment of a specific disease. Clearly, the definitive diagnosis of DP involves careful consideration.
