Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the dynamic changes of activated protein C (APC), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), acute physiology and chronic health status scoring system Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) in elderly patients with severe pneumonia, and to analyze their relationship with the prognosis.

Methods

Total of 288 elderly patients with severe pneumonia who were treated in Chengdu West District Hospital from June 2016 to June 2018 were selected. They were divided into survival group (168 cases) and death group (120 cases) according to 28-day survival condition. The levels of serum APC and BNP of each group werer detected by chemiluminescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively; and the status of each group were evaluated by APACHE Ⅱ score. The dynamic changes of APC, BNP and APACHE Ⅱ scores in each group at the first day, the fourth day and the seventh day were compared between the two groups, respectively. The risk factors of senile severe pneumonia were explored by Logistic regression analysis, and the value of the combined three indexes in predicting the prognosis of senile severe pneumonia was analyzed by ROC curve analysis.

Results

Compared with the death group, the levels of BNP [(494.62 ± 34.82) pg/ml, (318.42 ± 27.42) pg/ml and (274.61 ± 20.84) pg/ml] and APACHE Ⅱ score [(24.05 ± 4.82), (18.62 ± 3.71) and (12.13 ± 2.62)] of cases in survival group significantly increased at the first day, the fourth day and the seventh day, with significant differences (all P < 0.001), but the levels of APC [(289.34 ± 18.39) ng/ml, (357.64 ±32.71) ng/ml and (427.25 ± 18.45) ng/ml] decreased, with significant differences (t = 5.512, 35.499, 78.552; all P < 0.001). The BNP level and APACHE Ⅱ score of cases in survival group decreased with the extension of hospitalization time (F = 24.538, P < 0.001; F = 12.945, P < 0.001), while the level of APC increased gradually (F = 23.947, P < 0.001). In the death group, with the extension of hospitalization time, the levels of BNP and APACHE Ⅱ score increased gradually (F = 15.302, P < 0.001; F = 10.389, P < 0.001); while the levels of APC decreased gradually, with significant difference (F = 34.165, P < 0.001). There were significant differences in smoking history [36.90% (62/168) vs. 53.33 (64/120)], chronic respiratory disease history [46.43 (78/168) vs. 65.83 (79/120)], partial oxygen pressure [(83.27 ± 6.92) mmHg vs. (76.82 ± 8.65) mmHg] and mechanical ventilation [35.12 (59/168) vs. 52.50 (63/120)] between cases in survival group and death group (χ2 = 7.677, P = 0.006; χ2 = 10.630, P = 0.001; t = 9.881, P < 0.001; χ2 = 8.661, P = 0.003). Logistic regression analysis showed that mechanical ventilation (OR = 4.627, P < 0.001), APC (OR = 2.637, P = 0.012), BNP (OR = 3.325, P = 0.005) and APACHEE Ⅱ scores (OR = 4.831, P < 0.001) were all independent risk factors of senile severe pneumonia. Compared with the single prediction of APC, BNP and APACHE Ⅱ scores, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the combined prediction of severe pneumonia death in the elderly were significantly increased (89.42%, 81.61%, 84.72% and 86.03%).

Conclusions

APC, BNP and APACHEE Ⅱ scores change significantly in the progression of senile severe pneumonia, and were independent risk factors of senile severe pneumonia. The combination of the three indexes could significantly improve the prognostic predictive value.
