Kondisi Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) berkebahyaan terjadinya sepsis dan kegagalan multi organ. Inflamasidapat menyebabkan terjadinya redistribusi zinc ke jaringan sehingga terjadi penurunan kadar zinc plasma. Kadar CRP pada SIRSmeningkat sebagai respons peningkatan protein tahap akut. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui apakah kadar zinc dan CRP serummerupakan faktor kebahayaan kematian di pasien SIRS. Penelitian observasional analitik dengan pendekatan kohort prospektif di 30pasien SIRS berusia 27–64 tahun. Kadar zinc serum diperiksa dengan metode atomic absorbance spectrophotometer (AAS) dan CRPserum dengan metode latex agglutination immunoassay menggunakan alat autoanaliser. Kejadian kematian subjek dinilai setelah 28hari perawatan. Data dilakukan uji statistik Chi-Kwadrat, bila tidak memenuhi maka dilakukan uji alternatif Fisher. Besarnya nilaifaktor kebahyaan dilakukan perhitungan kebahayaan relatif. Rerata kadar zinc dan CRP berturut-turut 81,24 ± 8,72 μg/dL, dan 8,13± 8,12 mg/dL. Kematian dalam 28 hari adalah 33,3%. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kadar zinc plasma < 80 μg/dL bukanmerupakan faktor kebahayaan terjadinya kematian (p=0,114), sedangkan kadar CRP ≥ 10 mg/dL merupakan faktor kebahayaanterjadinya kematian di pasien SIRS (RR=3,28, 95% CI 1,33-8,13, p=0,015). Kadar zinc plasma bukan merupakan faktor kebahayaanterjadinya kematian pada SIRS, sedangkan kadar CRP merupakan faktor kebahayaan terjadinya kematian di pasien SIRS.

Abstract. Background: Elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are known to be associated with cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality in older adults, however, there seems to be heterogeneity of this association across subsets of individuals. We aim to assess the effects of interactions between CRP and one of the following traditional CV risk factors regarding all-cause mortality in unselected elderly men and women: age, sex, body mass index, diabetes, and hypertension. Patients and methods: Three hundred and forty-four general practitioners all over Germany enrolled 6,817 unselected participants, aged 65 years or older, and performed thorough examinations, including CRP measurement at baseline (getABI study). All-cause mortality was determined in the following seven years. Cox regression analyses were done using uni- and multivariable models. Results: At baseline 4,172 participants of this cohort had a CRP value of ≤ 3 mg/L (low level CRP group), 2,645 participants had a CRP value of > 3 mg/L (high level CRP group). The unadjusted hazard ratio for all-cause death of the high level CRP group compared to the low level CRP group was 1.49 (95 % confidence interval [95 %CI] 1.34 to 1.66). After adjustment for sex, age, education, peripheral artery disease/media sclerosis, other prior vascular events, smoking status, diabetes, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive medication, body mass index, cholesterol, and statin use, the hazard ratio was 1.34 (95 %CI 1.20 to 1.50). Significant interactions with CRP were found for sex (adjusted hazard ratio 1.38, 95 %CI 1.11 to 1.72), age (0.75, 95 %CI 0.60 to 0.94), and baseline systolic blood pressure (0.64, 95 % CI 0.51 to 0.81). The interactions of CRP with body mass index and of CRP with diabetes were not significant. Conclusions: In older German adults, there seem to be effect modifications by age, sex, and arterial hypertension regarding the effect of CRP in the prediction of all-cause mortality.

AbstractBackgroundThe prevalence of overweight in children with CHD is about 26.9%. Increase in adipose tissue is related to the secretion of proinflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein. Assuming that children with CHD are exposed to other inherent risk factors for heart disease, our objective was to evaluate the correlation between levels of C-reactive protein and body mass index in children and adolescents with CHD.MethodsA cross-sectional study with 377 children and adolescents with CHD in a clinical setting of a reference hospital was carried out. C-reactive protein data were collected after 12 hours of fasting. Nutritional status was classified according to body mass index. The patients were divided into three groups: cyanotic, acyanotic, and minimal heart defects (controls).ResultsThe mean age was 9.9±4.2 years, and 53.6% of the sample included males. The cyanotic group represented 22.3%, acyanotic 42.2%, and minimal defects 35.5% of the sample. The average body mass index percentile was 57.23±32.06. The median values of C-reactive protein were as follows: cyanotic 0.340, acyanotic with clinical repercussion 0.203, and minimal defects 0.128. There was a significant difference between the minimal defects and the cyanotic groups (p=0.023). There was a significant correlation between C-reactive protein and body mass index percentile (r=0.293, p<0.01). C-reactive protein levels were higher in girls (p=0.034). There were no significant correlations between C-reactive protein and age or birth weight.ConclusionThe correlation between body mass index percentile and C-reactive protein was confirmed in this population. The prevention of overweight is paramount to avoid overlapping modifiable risk factors to those already inherent to the CHD.
