Relationships of serum Sestrin2 and Fetuin-A levels with disease outcome in patients with severe pulmonary tuberculosis
Objective To explore the relationships of serum Sestrin2 and Fetuin-A with disease outcome in patients with severe pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods A total of 108 patients with severe pulmonary tuberculosis admitted to our hospital from December 2020 to December 2022 were selected as study objects.Serum Sestrin2 and Fetuin-A levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosor-bent assay.According to 30 d disease outcomes,the patients in the study group were divided into death-disease group(22 cases)and survival group(86 cases).Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and area under the curve(AUC)were used to analyze the predictive value of serum Ses-trin2 and Fetuin-A levels in patients with severe pulmonary tuberculosis.The influencing factors of prog-nosis in patients with severe pulmonary tuberculosis were explored by multivariate Logistic regression.Results The serum Fetuin-A level in the survival group was higher than that in the death group,and the serum Sestrin2 level was lower than that in the death group(P<0.05).The AUC(95%CI)of ser-um Sestrin2 and Fetuin-A were 0.752(0.712 to 0.797)and 0.887(0.842 to 0.937),respectively,with truncation values of 12.39 ng/mL and 350.67 μg/mL,the specificity of 55.64%and 65.57%,and the sensitivity of 92.73%and 92.73%.The AUC of the combined diagnosis was 0.920(0.875 to 0.970),the specificity was 86.06%,and the sensitivity was 88.21%.The proportion of diabetes history in the death group was higher than that in the survival group,and peak expiratory flow(PEF),maximum mid-expiratory flow(MMEF),forced expiratory volume in the first second(FEV1)and left ventricu-lar ejection fraction(LVEF)were lower than those in the survival group(P<0.05).Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that LVEF ≤50.00%(OR=3.777,95%CI,1.393 to 10.243),Fe-tuin-A<350.67 μg/mL(OR=3.031,95%CI,1.943 to4.730),Sestrin2≥12.39 ng/L(OR=5.709,95%CI,1.933 to 16.355)were the risk factors of the outcome of severe pulmonary tuber-culosis(P<0.05).Conclusion Serum Sestrin2 and Fetuin-A levels are closely related to the out-come of patients with severe pulmonary tuberculosis,and can be used as biological indicators to eval-uate the outcome of severe pulmonary tuberculosis.The combined prediction has higher accuracy.
