Diagnostic and prognostic laboratory criteria for the development of sepsis in purulent-inflammatory diseases of soft tissues

Objective. Identification of laboratory parameters that are used in routine practice and can serve as diagnostic and prognostic criteria for the development of sepsis and its outcomes in patients with purulent-inflammatory diseases of soft tissues.Materials and methods. The study included 48 patients with purulent-inflammatory diseases of soft tissues. Recorded the occurrence of such clinical events as the development of sepsis or septic shock, intensive therapy, death or recovery and discharge from the hospital. For the diagnosis of sepsis, a SOFA (Sepsis-related organ failure assessment score) ³ 2 points was used. Patients were divided into subgroups according to the number of points according to the SOFA scale, intensive care and depending on the outcome of the disease: Subgroup 1 – 26 patients with sepsis (SOFA ³ 2 points) and 22 patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and SOFA Results. In patients with sepsis, albumin concentration was 24,07 g / l in median versus 34,65 g / l in the control group of patients with SOFA Conclusion. Routine laboratory indicators as the level of total protein, albumin, glucose, sodium and urea, as well as indicators of the blood coagulation system (INR and APTT), can serve as diagnostic and prognostic criteria for the development of sepsis and its outcomes in patients with purulentinflammatory diseases. soft tissue.
