Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of cytokine (CK) concentrations on the immune phenotype and survival conditions of elderly patients with sepsis. A total of 112 elderly patients with sepsis who were admitted to The Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Ningbo University for treatment between June 2015 and June 2017 were enrolled as the subjects. According to each patient's condition, they were divided into the mild sepsis group (n=68) and the severe sepsis group (n=44). Additionally, a further 60 patients without sepsis who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of this hospital during the same period were recruited as the control group. The levels of CK, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF‑α), interleukin (IL)‑6, IL‑8, procalcitonin (PCT), endothelin‑1 (ET‑1) and IL‑10 were detected, and the assessment system for immune levels was established. The levels of TNF‑α, IL‑6, IL‑8, PCT, ET‑1 and IL‑10 in the serum of patients in the mild and severe sepsis groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the levels in the severe sepsis group were significantly higher than those in the mild sepsis group (P<0.05). Among the 112 sepsis patients, there were 30 mortalities (26.79%) within 30 days, of which the levels of TNF‑α, IL‑6, IL‑8, PCT, ET‑1 and IL‑10 were significantly higher than those in the surviving patients (P<0.05). Between the mild and severe sepsis groups, as well as the number of mortalities and surviving patients, there were statistically significant differences when comparing the immunological phenotypes (P<0.05). These findings indicated that the levels of TNF‑α, IL‑6, IL‑8, PCT, ET‑1 and IL‑10 were associated with the condition and prognosis of elderly patients with sepsis, and the assessment system for immune levels based on the levels of these indicators was conducive to the stipulation of individualized immune regulation procedure and prognostic evaluation of sepsis.
