Diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64 combined with CRP for neonatal sepsis: A meta-analysis

Abstract The aim of the study was to conduct a meta-analysis to evaluate the accuracy of neutrophil CD64, procalcitonin (PCT), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) for the diagnosis of sepsis. The sample articles were searched in various databases to collect published studies on the diagnosis of sepsis by neutrophil CD64, PCT, and IL-6. By using the Stata SE 15.0 software, forest plots and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio, and area under the curve (AUC) were calculated. 54 articles were included in the study. The number of studies that evaluated the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64, PCT, and interleukin-6 were 20, 39, and 15, respectively. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of neutrophil CD64 for the diagnosis of sepsis were 0.88 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.81–0.92], 0.88 (95% CI, 0.83–0.91), and 0.94 (95% CI, 0.91–0.96), respectively. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of PCT for the diagnosis of sepsis were 0.82 (95% CI, 0.78–0.85), 0.78 (95% CI, 0.74–0.82), and 0.87 (95% CI, 0.83–0.89), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that the AUC for PCT diagnosis of intensive care unit (ICU) sepsis was 0.86 (95% CI, 0.83–0.89) and the AUC for PCT diagnosis of non-ICU sepsis was 0.82 (95% CI, 0.78–0.85). The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of IL-6 for the diagnosis of sepsis were 0.72 (95% CI, 0.65–0.78), 0.70 (95% CI, 0.62–0.76), and 0.77 (95% CI, 0.73–0.80), respectively. Of the three biomarkers studied, neutrophil CD64 showed the highest diagnostic value for sepsis, followed by PCT, and IL-6. On the other hand, PCT showed a better diagnostic value for the diagnosis of sepsis in patients with severe conditions compared with that in patients with non-severe conditions.

Neutrophil Cd64

AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine whether neutrophil CD64 (nCD64) combined with procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell count (WBC) can increase the sensitivity and accuracy of neonatal sepsis diagnosis.The serum levels of nCD64, CRP, PCT and WBC were detected in 60 patients with neonatal sepsis and 60 patients with non-sepsis. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under the curve (AUC), and logistic regression analysis were performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of these markers on neonatal sepsis.Serum levels of nCD64, PCT, CRP and WBC were higher in the sepsis group than non-sepsis group (p<0.001). The sensitivities of nCD64, PCT, CRP and WBC at the recommended cut-off level for all infants were 79.5%, 68.2%, 38.6% and 52.3%, respectively. The best combination was nCD64 and PCT, which obtained sensitivity of 90.9%, largest AUC of 0.922, and a negative predictive value of 89.2%. However by using an optimal cut-off value, the sensitivities of all four biomarkers for the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis were increased to 95.5%. Except for WBC, the birth weight and gestational age had no effects on the diagnostic value of these serum biomarkers.nCD64 and PCT are better diagnostic biomarkers for early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis as compared to CRP. With the help of optimal cut-off value based on ROC curve and logistic regression analysis, the combination of these biomarkers could improve the sensitivity for the diagnosis of suspected late-onset neonatal sepsis based on common serum biomarkers.

Abstract Background The aim of the study was to conduct a meta-analysis to evaluate the accuracy of neutrophil CD64, procalcitonin (PCT), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) as markers for the diagnosis of sepsis in adult patients. Methods Various databases were searched to collect published studies on the diagnosis of sepsis in adult patients using neutrophil CD64, PCT, and IL-6 levels. Utilizing the Stata SE 15.0 software, forest plots and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio, and area under the curve (AUC) were calculated.

Neutrophil Cd64

Abstract Background Infection is one of the leading causes of death in burn patients. Many researches regard neutrophil CD64 (nCD64) as a biomarker in the early diagnosis of burn patients with infection. Nevertheless, the conclusions are controversial. Methods A comprehensive analysis of the diagnostic value of nCD64 for burn infection was performed in China using a meta-analysis method. Pubmed, Cochrane library, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and China Wanfang databases were searched for studies on nCD64 as a diagnostic biomarker of burn patients with infection from the establishment of the databases to September 29, 2020. The data was analyzed by Stata 15.0 software. Results Six studies were identified. The results showed that the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and DOR were 0.92 (95%CI:0.88~0.95), 0.82 (95%CI:0.76~0.87), 5.10 (95%CI:3.90~6.80), 0.10 (95%CI:0.06~0.15) and 52 (95%CI:29~94), respectively. The area under curve (AUC) was 0.94 (95%CI:0.92~0.94). According to the analysis of the sepsis subgroup, it showed that nCD64 had good diagnostic value in the patients with burn sepsis in Chinese population. Conclusion nCD64 is highly efficient to diagnose burn infection in Chinese population. Therefore, nCD64 could be regarded as a valuable biomarker for early diagnosis of burn infection in China, especially in patients with burn sepsis. Combined with other diagnostic indexes, nCD64 can be clinically used in the early diagnosis of burn infection to improve the sensitivity and specificity.
