Evaluating the role of serum IL1R2 as a biomarker for diagnosis and prognostic stratification in sepsis
摘要
This study aimed to identify novel sepsis biomarkers by evaluating serum interleukin-1 receptor type 2 (IL1R2) for its diagnostic and prognostic utility, in light of the limitations of current markers like PCT and CRP.
MethodsA single-center retrospective analysis was conducted involving 55 sepsis patients and 42 non-sepsis controls. Serum IL1R2 levels, measured via ELISA within 24 h of admission, were compared against clinical data, including SOFA scores, 28-day mortality, and laboratory parameters (PCT, CRP). Diagnostic performance was assessed using ROC curve analysis, while prognostic utility was determined via Kaplan–Meier analysis. A cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was used to track IL1R2 dynamics over time.
ResultsSepsis patients exhibited significantly elevated serum IL1R2 levels compared to controls. IL1R2 demonstrated strong diagnostic power (AUC = 0.908), outperforming PCT and CRP. Furthermore, higher IL1R2 levels correlated with increased SOFA scores and predicted poorer 28-day survival. In the CLP model, serum IL1R2 rose within 4 h post-sepsis, peaked within 24 h, returned to baseline by day 3, and fell below normal by day 7.
ConclusionSerum IL1R2 is a promising biomarker, offering a superior ability to correlate with disease severity and predict 28-day mortality.
