ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) caused by Hantaan virus is characterized by systemic immunopathological injury. Pentraxin-3 is an acute-phase reactant involved in the processes of inflammation and infection. This study aimed to investigate the levels of plasma pentraxin-3 and evaluate its predictive value on disease severity and mortality risk in patients with HFRS.METHODS:
This was a prospective real-world observational study. The concentrations of plasma pentraxin-3 were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 105 HFRS patients and 27 healthy controls. We analyzed the clinical relevance between pentraxin-3 and clinical subtyping, hospital stay and conventional laboratory parameters of HFRS patients. Considering the prognosis (death) as the primary endpoint, the levels of pentraxin-3 between survivors and non-survivors were compared, and its association with mortality was assessed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. The predictive potency of pentraxin-3 for mortality risk in HFRS patients was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.RESULTS:
The levels of pentraxin-3 during the acute phase were increased with the aggravation of the disease, and showed the highest expression in critical-type patients (P < 0.05). Pentraxin-3 demonstrated significant correlations with conventional laboratory parameters (WBC, PLT, AST, ALB, APTT, Fib) and the length of hospital stay. Compared with the survivors, non-survivors showed higher levels of pentraxin-3 and worse expressions of conventional laboratory parameters during the acute phase. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that high levels of pentraxin-3 during the acute phase were significantly associated with the death in HFRS patients. Pentraxin-3 demonstrated significant predictive value for the mortality risk of HFRS patients, with the area under ROC curve (AUC) of 0.753 (95%CI 0.593 ~ 0.914, P = 0.003).CONCLUSIONS:
The detection of plasma pentraxin-3 might be beneficial to the evaluation of disease severity and to the prediction of mortality risk in HFRS patients.Palavras-chave
