초록
목적: 본 연구에서는 delta neutrophil index (DNI)가 신생아 균혈증을 예측하는 지표로서의 효용성을다른 지표들과의 비교를 통해 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 원주세브란스 기독병원 신생아 중환자실에 발열을 주소로 입원한 환아들과 입원 중 발열이 있었던 생후 31일 미만 환아 146명을 대상으로 혈액배양검사와 동시에 시행한 총 백혈구 수, 절대호중구수, DNI, 혈소판 수, C-반응단백(C-reactive protein, CRP)에 대하여 분석하였다. 결과: 균혈증이 있었던 환아 77명의 평균 재태주수는 38.74주, 출생 체중은 3.20 kg였다. 대조군의 평균 재태주수는 33.34주, 출생 체중은 2.20 kg였다. 균혈증의 원인은 Staphylococcus aureus (22명), Staphylococcus epidermidis (18명), Streptococcus agalactiae (8명) 등이었다. DNI와 CRP만이 재태주수와 출생 체중 보정 후 균혈증과 연관성을 보여 area under the ROC curve를 조사하였고 DNI 0.70, CRP 0.68이었다. 결론: DNI는 신생아 균혈증을 예측하는 데 효과적인 지표이다. 다른 인자들과 함께 고려한다면 균혈증을 예측하는 데 더 도움이 될 것이다.
Abstract
Purpose: We investigated the effectiveness of the delta neutrophil index (DNI) for the prediction of neonatal bacteremia and compared it to other indices. Methods: A total of 146 pediatric patients, aged less than 31 days, admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Wonju Severance Christian Hospital with fever before or during hospitalization were enrolled in this study. We divided the patients into two groups based on the existence of neonatal bacteremia and performed blood culture tests on both groups. We examined white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, DNI, platelet count, and C-reactive protein (CRP) test. We used a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to evaluate their diagnostic significance. Results: Seventy-seven patients were diagnosed with neonatal bacteremia. The mean gestational age was 38.74 weeks and the mean birth weight was 3.20 kg. The mean gestational age of the control group was 33.34 weeks and the mean birth weight was 2.20 kg. Causative organisms of bacteremia included Staphylococcus aureus (n=22), Staphylococcus epidermidis (n=18), and Streptococcus agalactiae (n=8). Both DNI and CRP were significantly associated with neonatal bacteremia after adjusting for gestational age and birth weight. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for DNI (0.70) was higher than that for CRP (0.68). Conclusions: The DNI can be used to effectively predict neonatal bacteremia. The prediction will be more accurate if DNI is used in conjunction with other indices. In future, it will be useful to compare DNI with other indices and investigate its relationship with prognosis.
