AIM:To determine if serum inter-cellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is an early marker of the diagnosis and prediction of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP)within 24 h of onset of pain,and to compare the sensitivity,specificity and prognostic value of this test with those of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score and interleukin-6 (IL-6).METHODS:Patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) were divided into two groups according to the Ranson's criteria:mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) group and SAP group.Serum ICAM-1,APACHE Ⅱ and IL-6 levels were detected in all the patients.The sensitivity,specificity and prognostic value of the ICAM-1,APACHE Ⅱ score and IL-6 were evaluated.RESULTS:The ICAM-1 level in 36 patients with SAP within 24 h of onset of pain was increased and was significantly higher than that in the 50 patients with MAP and the 15 healthy volunteers (P < 0.01).The ICAM-1 level (25 ng/mL) was chosen as the optimum cutoff to distinguish SAP from MAP,and the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value (NPV),positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio were 61.11%,71.42%,0.6111,0.7142,2.1382 and 0.5445,respectively.The area under the curve demonstrated that the prognostic accuracy of ICAM-1 (0.712) was similar to the APACHE-Ⅱ scoring system (0.770) and superior to IL-6 (0.508) in distinguishing SAP from MAP.CONCLUSION:ICAM-1 test is a simple,rapid and reliable method in clinical practice.It is an early marker of diagnosis and prediction of SAP within the first 24 h after onset of pain or on admission.As it has a relatively low NPV and does not allow it to be a stand-alone test for the diagnosis of AP,other conventional diagnostic tests are required.
