[Prognostic value of interleukin 6 for death of patients with sepsis].
Abstract Background and objective To see the influence of interlukin-6 (IL-6) as an inflammatory mediator in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis, assessing whether their serum levels during their stay in intensive care unit (ICU) serve as an early mortality prognostic marker. Material and methods A prospective observational cohort study with 203 ICU patients from a third level hospital. A descriptive analysis was made, X 2 test used to compare qualitative variables, T -Student test to compare quantitative ones. We made a logistic regression multivariant analysis on admission, third and seventh day of stay with dependent variable mortality and independent …
Valor pronóstico de la interleucina 6 en la mortalidad de pacientes con sepsis
Resumen Fundamento y objetivo Ver la influencia de la interleucina 6 (IL-6) como mediador inflamatorio en pacientes con criterios de systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS, «sindrome de respuesta inflamatoria sistemica») y sepsis valorando si su determinacion plasmatica durante el ingreso en la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) sirve como marcador precoz de mortalidad. Material y metodos Estudio observacional prospectivo de cohortes con 203 pacientes ingresados en UCI de un Hospital de tercer nivel. Se efectuo analisis descriptivo comparando las variables cualitativas con el test X2, las cuantitativas con la T-Student. Tambien analisis multivariante tipo regresion logistica al ingr…
