Combination of Interleukin-6, C-Reactive Protein and Procalcitonin Values as Predictive Index of Sepsis in Course of Fever Episode in Adult Haematological Patients: Observational and Statistical Study

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Haematological patients represent a vulnerable population to opportunistic infections, mainly due to the disease itself and chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. The level of immune suppression strongly increases the importance of timely antibiotic treatment in order to prevent sepsis-related mortality. During the initial fever episode, serum biomarkers are usually used to estimate the probability of blood stream infection prior to the results of microbial diagnosis. A new serum biomarker combination study on a febrile haematological population, including C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and procalcitonin (PCT), is proposed in order to improve their predictive accuracy. In our prospective study, CRP, IL-6 and PCT were evaluated in 34 immunosuppressed haematological patients immediately after the onset of 51 fever episodes, either during the course of standard chemotherapy or high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant. The fever episodes were divided into documented infections and fever alone. Receiver operating characteristic analysis (ROC) was performed for each biomarker and a combination of all three biomarkers (multiROC) to define a new predictive index. Significant differences were evidenced between the two groups (documented infection and no infection) for both PCT and IL-6 (p = 0.03 and p = 0.035, respectively), but none for CRP (p = 0.1). The composite parameter is more reliable than any single biomarker alone, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 79% and with high sensitivity and specificity. IL-6 gave the closest response compared to the composite index. Composite parameters of serum biomarkers could be used for an early diagnosis of infection at fever onset in haematological patients.
