Abstract:Objective To explore the prognostic value of procalcitonin level in patients with acute exacerbation of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods A total of 60 patients with acute exacerbation of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease admitted to Chaozhou Central Hospital from January 2016 to May 2019 were selected as the research objects.According to the average peripheral platelet specific volume (PCT) value of healthy people,which was (2.29±0.31) ng/L,they were divided into high procalcitonin level group (30 cases) and low procalcitonin level group(30 cases).The hospital stay,acute physiological and chronic health score (APACHE Ⅱ),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) index,mechanical ventilation,and mortality were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Results The hospital stay in the high procalcitonin level group was longer than that in the low procalcitonin level group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The APACHE Ⅱscore,hs-CRP,mechanical ventilation rate and mortality in the high procalcitonin level group were higher than those in the low procalcitonin level group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion The patients with acute exacerbation of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with high level of procalcitonin are more serious,have a longer hospitalization time,and have a higher invasive ventilation rate and mortality.Procalcitonin level is used as a guide for clinical treatment options and prognosis judgment in the acute exacerbation of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
