AI Article Synopsis
- The study conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (sTREM)-1 in distinguishing sepsis from systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and predicting outcomes in sepsis.
- Results indicated that circulating sTREM-1 had high sensitivity (85%) and moderate specificity (79%) for differentiating sepsis from SIRS, alongside a sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 75% for predicting 28-day mortality in sepsis patients.
- The findings suggest that circulating sTREM-1 could be a valuable biomarker for diagnosing sepsis and predicting patient outcomes.
Article Abstract
Background: With the increasing studies regarding the diagnostic value of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (sTREM)-1 in sepsis in recent years, it is essential to make an updated meta-analysis to explore the sepsis differentiation value of circulating sTREM-1 from systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Recently, no meta-analysis was made to explore the prognostic predictive value of circulating sTREM-1 in sepsis. Thus, the present aimed to make meta-analyses to explore the diagnostic and prognostic predictive values of circulating sTREM-1 in sepsis.
Methods: Articles published before March 2021 were searched in databases: PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Medline and Google Scholar. After a summary of sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratios (PLR), negative likelihood ratios (NLR), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), the receive-operating characteristics (SROC) curve were performed to summarize true positive (TP) and false positive (FP) rates. Q test and I were used to explore heterogeneity between studies.
Results: Circulating sTREM-1 showed a high sensitivity (0.85 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.76-0.91)) and moderate specificity (0.79 (95% CI: 0.70-0.86)) to differentiate sepsis from SIRS. The study showed a high sensitivity (0.80 (95% CI: 0.66-0.89)) and moderate specificity (0.75 (95% CI: 0.69-0.81)) to predict 28-day mortality in sepsis.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the present study suggested that circulating sTREM-1 showed diagnostic and prognostic predictive values in sepsis.
