Abstract:ObjectiveTo study the early diagnostic value of procalcitonin(PCT), highsensitivity Creactive protein(hsCRP) and interleukin6(IL6) in catheterrelated bloodstream infection (CRBSI) in patients in intensive care unit(ICU).Methods78 ICU patients with suspected CRBSI between April 2013 and April 2015 were selected, blood specimens of patients on the first day of admission and being suspected CRBSI were taken, blood and venous catheter tips were performed culture, patients were divided into CRBSI group and nonCRBSI group according to culture results of blood and venous catheter tips, diagnostic values of PCT, hsCRP, and IL6 were compared. Results28 patients were diagnosed CRBSI. On the day of being suspected with CRBSI, levels of PCT, hsCRP, IL6, and white blood cell(WBC) in CRBSI group were significantly higher than nonCRBSI group respectively([3.35±1.52]μg/L vs [1.22±0.44]μg/L; [32.90±11.10]mg/L vs [23.50±6.00]mg/L; [423.20±171.70]ng/L vs [257.90±81.40]ng/L; [12.70±2.70]×109/L vs [11.20±1.90]×109/L],P<0.05 ). The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) analysis showed that area under the curve (AUC) and 95% CI of PCT, hsCRP, IL6, and WBC were 0.92(0.85,0.99),0.75(0.62, 0.88),0.80(0.67, 0.92), and 0.64(0.50, 0.72)respectively;sensitivity were 0.82,0.64,0.71, and 0.46 respectively;specificity were 0.92,0.94, 0.92,and 0.88 respectively. ConclusionPCT and IL6 have high effectiveness for early diagnosis of CRBSI in ICU patients, and have certain predictive value for early diagnosis of CRBSI.
