Abstract:

Objective To investigate the role of mean neutrophil volume(MNV) in severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) with bacteremia. Methods A total of 48 patients with SAP were enolled. Peripheral blood samples were collected at admission. White blood cell(WBC) count,the absolute value of neutrophil(NEUT#),MNV,C-reactive protein(CRP) and procalcitonin(PCT) determinations and blood culturing were performed. According to blood culturing results,the patients were classified into 2 groups,SAP with bacteremia group and SAP without bacteremia group. The efficiency of each parameter was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve. Results CRP and MNV in the 2 groups had statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in WBC count,NEUT# and PCT between the 2 groups(P>0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curve(AUC) of MNV was 0.775,the sensitivity was 84.6%,the specificity was 66.7%,and the optimal cut-off value was 160.5. The AUC of CRP was 0.708,the sensitivity was 92.3%,the specificity was 48.1%,and the optimal cut-off value was 162.5 mg/L. Conclusions MNV may be used in the auxiliary diagnosis of SAP with bacteremia.
