Analysis of the Role of Combined Testing of C-Reactive Protein and Interleukin-6 with Routine Blood Tests in Elderly COPD Patients
Objective To explore the application value of using C-reactive protein(CRP)and interleukin-6(IL-6)combined with routine blood tests as a testing method in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods A total of 41 COPD patients admitted to The Second People's Hospital of Xinxiang from September 2021 to September 2023 were selected as the experimental group,and 41 healthy individuals undergoing physical examinations were selected as the control group.The results of routine blood tests[neutrophils(NEU),white blood cell count(WBC),platelet count(PLT),mean platelet volume(MPV),platelet distribution width(PDW),hemoglobin(Hb)],CRP,and IL-6 were compared between the two groups.Results The levels of CRP and IL-6 in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The levels of NEU,WBC,PLT,PDW,MPV,and Hb in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity of the combined tests were higher than those of single tests,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion CRP and IL-6 are consistently involved in the inflammatory activities of COPD.Combining these two indicators with routine blood tests can improve the accuracy of COPD diagnosis and is worth applying.
