EVALUATE THE MORTALITY PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF PLATELET COUNT IN SEPTIC SHOCK PATIENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: Evaluate the change and mortality prognostic value of platelet count in the first 7 days in septic shock patients. Materials and method: Prospective Descriptive Study on 110 septic shock patients treated in the Center of Emergency, Intensive Care Medicine and Clinical Toxicology - 103 Military Hospital - Vietnam Military Medical University. Results: A total of 77.3% of septic shock patients had thrombocytopenia. In the survival group, the platelet count gradually decreased in the first 3 days, reaching the lowest value on the 3rd day, then increased on the 5th and 7th day, while in the death group, the platelet count gradually decreased over study time points and reached the lowest value on 7th day. The platelet count in the death group was significantly lower than the survival group, p<0.01. The thrombocytopenia group had a higher risk of death than the group without thrombocytopenia, with OR=3.43 (95% CI: 1.35-8.72, p<0.01). The platelet count on the 3rd, 5th, and 7th has a weak, quite good and quite good prognostic value for mortality with an AUC of 0.669; 0.703 and 0.795, p<0.01. Conclusions: The platelet count in the death group was significantly lower than that in the survival group. Thrombocytopenia is a valuable predicting mortality factor in septic shock patients. The platelet count has weak, quite good and quite good prognostic values for death on the 3rd, 5th and 7th day in septic shock patients.
