摘要
Some children with sepsis exhibit a sustained hyperinflammatory response that can trigger secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis/macrophage activation syndrome. Although hypofibrinogenemia is a shared feature of sepsis and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, there are no data about fibrinogen as a biomarker to identify children with sepsis/secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis/macrophage activation syndrome overlap. We hypothesized that hypofibrinogenemia is associated with poor outcomes and secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis/macrophage activation syndrome and has utility as a screening biomarker for this sepsis phenotype.A retrospective cohort study of patients less than or equal to 21 years treated for severe sepsis from January 2012 to December 2014.Emergency department and PICU at a single academic children's hospital.Consecutive patients with greater than or equal to one episode of hypofibrinogenemia (serum fibrinogen < 150 mg/dL) within 7 days of sepsis were compared with a random sample of patients without hypofibrinogenemia using an a priori sample size target of 190. Thirty-eight patients with hypofibrinogenemia were compared with 154 without hypofibrinogenemia.None.The primary outcome was "complicated course" (composite of 28-d mortality or ≥ two organ failures at 7 d). Secondary outcomes were 28-day mortality and fulfillment of diagnostic criteria for secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis/macrophage activation syndrome. We used Wilcoxon rank-sum, Fisher exact test, and multivariable logistic regression to compare patients with versus without hypofibrinogenemia. Patients with hypofibrinogenemia were more likely to have a complicated course (73.7% vs 29.2%; p < 0.001), 28-day mortality (26.3% vs 7.1%, p = 0.002), and meet diagnostic criteria for secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis/macrophage activation syndrome (21.1% vs 1.3%; p < 0.001). After controlling for confounders, hypofibrinogenemia remained associated with complicated course (adjusted odds ratio, 8.8; 95% CI, 3.5-22.4), mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 6.0; 95% CI, 2.0-18.1), and secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis/macrophage activation syndrome (adjusted odds ratio, 27.6; 95% CI, 4.4-173).Hypofibrinogenemia was independently associated with poor outcome and secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis/macrophage activation syndrome in pediatric sepsis. Measurement of fibrinogen may provide a pragmatic biomarker to identify children with possible sepsis/secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis/macrophage activation syndrome overlap for whom further diagnostic testing and consideration of adjunctive immunomodulatory therapies should be considered.
