VALUE OF SOME BLOOD CELL INDICATORS ON THE DXH 900 HEMATOLOGY ANALYZER IN DETECTING BACTEREMIA AT VIETNAM NATIONAL CANCER HOSPITAL IN 2022
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introductions: Sepsis is a serious systemic bacterial infection. It occurs in every country in the world, especially in tropical countries, like Vietnam. The diagnosis of sepsis remains challenges due to the confusing symptoms. The MDW is a new indicator on Backman Coulter's DxH 900 hematology analyser, which has been studied as a diagnostic marker for early sepsis detection. Objectives: 1. Determination of changes in some peripheral blood indexes in patients with sepsis. 2. Analysis of the significance of MDW index in patients with sepsis at the Emergency and Intensive Care Unit of National Cancer Hospital in 2022. Patients and methods: The study was carried out at the Emergency and Intensive Care Unit of Cancer-Tan Trieu Hospital from January 2022 to August 2022. A total of 264 patients were divided into 3 groups as follows: 67 ones with sepsis, 83 ones with infection and 114 ones non-infection. All patients were tested for peripheral blood cell count within the first 24 hours after admission. Results: The analysis results showed that there was a difference in peripheral blood indexes such as hemoglobin, neutrophil, monocytes and MDW (monocyte distribution width) among the study groups, p<0.05. The MDW value of each group of sepsis, infection and non infection was 28.19 (24.2-33.9), 24.0 (22.1-28.7) and 19.5(18.0-20.6) respectively, p<0.05. Analysis of the ROC curve showed that the MDW index achieved the best value at the cut off = 22.0 with Se=0.96, Sp=0.93, AUC=0.98. Conclusions: MDW=22.0 index is valid in diagnosing sepsis with Se=0.96, Sp=0.93, AUC=0.98, p<0.05.
