Albumin and C-reactive protein as diagnostic markers for neonatal sepsis: a retrospective study.

Objective: To assess the applicability of albumin (ALB) and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations in the diagnosis of sepsis in neonates on the day of admission, and to help with early identification and intervention in the development of sepsis.

Methods: This retrospective study included all neonates who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit from January 2020 to June 2023. We studied 160 full-term neonates, including 80 with sepsis and 80 healthy controls.

Pediatric Critical Illness Score, Clinical Characteristics and Comprehensive Treatment of Children with Severe Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Pneumonia.

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of children with severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (SMPP) and the correlation with pediatric critical illness score (PICS), and to explore the effect of combined treatment with antibiotics and glucocorticoids.

Methods: The medical records of 120 children with SMPP admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Children with a PICS score greater than 80 within 24 h of admission were included in the non-critical group, those with a score of 71-80 were included in the critical group, and those with a score of ≤70 were included in the extremely critical group.

Serum sTREM-1 and CXCL-16 Levels in Children with Pneumonia and Their Diagnostic Value.

pneumonia (MPP) is an acute respiratory tract infection caused by . It is characterized by severe symptoms, long course of disease, many intrapulmonary complications, and poor therapeutic effect. In recent years, the incidence of infection have been gradually rising trend, and the children's own immune system development is not mature, cases differences, children with mild can only show the upper respiratory tract infection, and critically ill children can lead to lung infection and even lead to multiple organ dysfunction, affect life and health of children.

Clinical significance of the serum miR-455-5p expression in patients with neonatal sepsis.

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response caused by infection and is a major cause of neonatal death. This study explored the miR-455-5p in neonatal sepsis, and further investigated the diagnostic and prognostic value of miR-455-5p in neonatal sepsis (NS). The levels of serum miR-455-5p in 88 healthy controls and 90 NS patients were examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).
