Diagnostic Significance of Procalcitonin for Operative Site Infections in Patients with Bone Fracture

Objective To investigate plasma procalcitonin levels in the patients with bone fracture operative site infections and evaluate its diagnostic value for operative site infections.Methods Veneus blood of 18 patients with bone fracture operative site infections and 102 patients without those were collected.Plasma procalcitonin concentration was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Its diagnostic value for operative site infection was analyzed statistically.Results The plasma procalcitonin level(3.7±1.9)μg/L in patients with bone fracture operative site infections was significantly higher than that(0.5±0.1)μg/L in patients without those using analysis of covariance(P<0.001).On a multivariate logistic regression,plasma procalcitonin level(OR=2.425,95%CI=1.846~2.914,P<0.001) was an independent variable predicting operative site infection.A receiver operating characteristic curve identified that a plasma procalcitonin level>3.9μg/L diagnosed operative site infection with 88.9% sensitivity and 86.3% specificity(area under curve=0.917,95%CI=0.861~0.964,P<0.001).Conclusion Plasma procalcitonin concentration increased after bone fracture operative site infection and diagnosed operative site infection with high sensitivity and specificity.
