Prognostic value of sCD14-ST (presepsin) in cardiac surgery.

Introduction: Prediction of complications and mortality after cardiac surgery is an important aspect of timely correction of these conditions. One possibility in this case is the use of biomarkers and some prognostic scores.

Aim Of The Study: To study the prognostic value of presepsin (PSP) as a predictor of postoperative complications development in cardiosurgical patients.

[SCD14-ST (presepsin) level monitoring in cardiac surgical patients during perioperative period].

Unlabelled: Purpose of the study was to define prognostic ability of presepsin (sCD14-ST) as a predictor of complications in cardiac surgical patients during perioperative period.

Methods: Patients operated for acquired heart valvular diseases with cardiopulmonary bypass were involved in the study (n = 51, age 58 +/- 11 years). Following parameters were studied; demographic data, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, time of aorta clamping, severity-of-disease by APACHE II scale before surgery, on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 6th day after surgery, routine clinical laboratory data and sCD14-ST.
