Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the dynamic changes and predictive values of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) combined with interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in peripheral blood in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in patients with severe multiple trauma. Seventy patients diagnosed with severe multiple trauma in Emergency Department of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital (Chengdu, China) from April 2014 to April 2016 were selected and retrospectively analyzed. The patients enrolled were divided into the MODS group (n=25) and the non-MODS group (n=45). The injury severity scores (ISSs), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) scores, NF-κB, IL-6 and TNF-α levels in patients were detected at different time points (12, 24 and 48 h after admission), the changes in different indexes and the areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) were analyzed. The predictive values of different detection methods in MODS patients were discussed and compared. The ISS, APACHE II score, NF-κB, IL-6 and TNF-α levels in the MODS group at admission and 24 and 48 h after admission were higher than those in the non-MODS group (P<0.05). Those indexes in the deceased patients at 12, 24 and 48 h after admission were higher than those in survivors (P<0.05). The ISS, APACHE II score, NF-κB, IL-6 and TNF-α levels were not the risk factors of MODS in patients with severe multiple trauma (P>0.05). AUCs of ISS >22 points and APACHE II score >14 points in predicting MODS were lower than that of combined detection of NF-κB >1.20. In conclusion, the combined detection of NF-κB, IL-6 and TNF-α in peripheral blood of patients with acute multiple trauma is more helpful to predict the occurrence of MODS, which has a certain guiding significance for the prognosis of patients with MODS.
