Objective: To assess the association between neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) and 28-day mortality in severely ill Chinese patients with sepsis.
Methods: In this retrospective, single-centre study, sepsis patients admitted to the ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University between May 2015 and December 2021 were retrospectively analysed. The relationship between NPAR and 28-day mortality was examined using Cox proportional-hazards model.
Results: In total, 741 patients with sepsis were included. Multivariate analysis, adjusted for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking and alcohol drinking history, showed an association between elevated NPAR and a high risk of 28-day mortality. After removal of additional confounders, moderate and high NPAR values remained significantly associated with 28-day mortality in comparison with low NPAR values (tertile 2 vs 1: HR, 95% CI: 1.42, 1.06-1.90; tertile 3 vs 1: HR, 95% CI: 1.35, 1.00-1.82). Survival curves stratified by NPAR groups showed that high NPAR levels had lower survival probabilities than lower NPAR levels. Subgroup analysis did not show any significant interactions between NPAR and 28-day mortality.
Conclusions: Elevated NPAR values were linked to increased 28-day mortality in severely ill Chinese patients with sepsis. The findings require verification by large, prospective, multi-centre studies.

The role of heparin in sepsis therapy has been widely debated. The controversy surrounding heparin's use as an anticoagulant in sepsis may stem from differences in sepsis definitions, study designs, timing and dosage of drug administration, treatment duration, complications, and patient severity. In this study, we aimed to determine the optimal timing and dosage of heparin in patients with sepsis, identify specific subgroups that could benefit from heparin therapy, and explore laboratory markers to assess its efficacy.

Secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) is a rare, rapidly progressive and highly lethal disease. This retrospective cohort study aims to analyze the factors influencing the mortality risk in adult patients with sHLH, which are instrumental to improving our understanding of the high mortality risks associated with sHLH. This study included 85 patients diagnosed with sHLH who were admitted and treated in the Department of Emergency, Peking University People's Hospital between April 2015 and July 2023.

Background: Various blood glucose (BG) variability-related indexes have been widely used to assess glycemic control and predict glycemic risks, but the association between BG variations and prognosis in non-diabetic patients with sepsis remains unclear.
Methods: The single-center retrospective cohort study included 7,049 non-diabetic adults with sepsis who had at least 3 records of bedside capillary point of care BG testing during the first day after ICU admission from MIMIC-IV database (2008 to 2019). Coefficient of variation and standard deviation of glucose (i.
