The Predictive Values of MMP-9, PLTs, ESR, and CRP Levels in Kawasaki Disease with Cardiovascular Injury
OBJECTIVE: To explore the levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), platelets (PLTs), C reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and their predictive values in Kawasaki disease (KD) with cardiovascular injury. METHODS: 128 children were diagnosed with KD in the Lanzhou Un...

Sumario: | OBJECTIVE: To explore the levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), platelets (PLTs), C reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and their predictive values in Kawasaki disease (KD) with cardiovascular injury. METHODS: 128 children were diagnosed with KD in the Lanzhou University Second Hospital. 75 patients had coronary artery lesion (CAL), while 53 patients did not. The levels of MMP-9, PLTs, and CRP and ESR in the two groups were determined. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the Youden index (YI) were used to evaluate the efficacy of MMP-9, PLTs, ESR, and CRP for predicting CALs in KD. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 2.7 ± 2.03 years (range, 2 months to 11 years). There were 87 boys (67.97%) and 41 girls (32.03%). In contrast to the NCAL group, the CAL group had obviously higher levels of MMP-9, PLTs, and CRP and an obviously higher ESR (P < 0.05). MMP-9 showed a linear positive correlation with ESR (P < 0.05) and CRP (P < 0.05). The AUC of the combined detection of the four indicators was 0.877, the sensitivity was 85.07% and the specificity was 78.95%. CONCLUSION: MMP-9, PLTs, ESR, and CRP are important indicators for a CAL in KD. The efficacy of the combined detection of MMP-9, PLTs, ESR and CRP is better than that of any single indicator for predicting a CAL in KD. |
