PART II – THE PROTOCOL

1 INTRODUCTION

Sepsis is defined as the presence (probable or documented) of infection

together with systemic manifestations

It is the fourth most common admitting diagnosis to the ICU and is the

second leading cause of mortality in the ICU after multi-organ failure.(16)Despite

advances in aggressive management, a diagnosis of sepsis continues to have a high

mortality rate, which increases with sepsis severity from 20.8% in patients with

sepsis and as high as 48.8% in patients with septic shock.

The incidence of severe sepsis in India was 16.45% of all admissions. Mean

age of the population was 58.17 years (SD 18.66), of which 57.71% were male. The

median APACHE II score was 13 (IQR 13 to 14) with predominant (90.93%)

medical admission. Median duration of stay in the ICU for the severe sepsis cohort

who survived was 13 days (IQR 11 to 17). The lung was the predominant source of

sepsis (57.45 %). [4]

Currently there are few reliable therapeutic strategies for the management of

sepsis including empiric antibiotic therapy, aggressive volume repletion, and tight

insulin control. Given that the reversibility of severe sepsis is poor, the need for an

“early prognostic marker” to identify those at highest risk for mortality in order to

3

Page 4: Dr Bhargav kiran  general medicine Dissertation Protocol

optimize therapeutic options is critical in order to reduce the ICU mortality

secondary to sepsis.

Recent evidence [7] suggests that serum High density lipoprotein cholesterol

(HDL-C) may be a useful prognostic marker of sepsis given that cholesterol

metabolism has been shown to be markedly influenced by a state of widespread

inflammation secondary to bacteremia. Additional studies (5) have demonstrated that

patients diagnosed with severe sepsis in the ICU have a measured decrease in

circulating level of lipoproteins and an increase in triglycerides independent of

comorbidities. These changes have been noted to occur early (within hours) in the

inflammatory cascade associated with sepsis. A reduction in serum cholesterol was

also negatively correlated to clinical outcome

A low HDL-C cholesterol level on day 1 of severe sepsis is significantly

associated with an increase in mortality and adverse clinical outcomes.(2)

Although the reduction in lipid and lipoprotein levels is well known in

critically ill patients (12) their prognostic implications in patients with sepsis remain

controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between HDL-

C and clinical outcome in patients with sepsis

HDL-C value can be used as a biomarker of septicaemia:

It is easily available

Cheap

Septicaemia biomarker due to the wide range of HDL-C normal value

(40 – 60 mg/dl) compared with other biomarkers, also wide range

4

Page 5: Dr Bhargav kiran  general medicine Dissertation Protocol

from normal value to HDL-C value in septicaemia(from 40 mg/dl to

15 mg/dl).

During septicaemia HDL-C level decreases to low levels accompanied with

hypertriglyceridemia.

The levels of both HDL-C and triglyceride will get increased again when

sepsis is cured until reach to the normal value.

2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

Aim: To evaluate the correlation between septicemia and high density Lipoproteins–

Cholesterol (HDL-C-) level in Sepsis patients. To further correlate with prognostic

outcome of patients with abnormal HDL-C levels.

Objectives:

a. To measure HDL-C values in all patients in sepsis.

b. To assess and compare the prognosis and response to treatment in

correlation with values of HDL-C.

3 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

The word “sepsis” was derived from the ancient Greek for rotten flesh and

putrefaction. Without using the term, the Greek physician Hippocrates (460 to 370

BC) was probably the first to describe the clinical course of septic shock (“when

continuing fever is present, it is dangerous if the outer parts are cold, but the inner

parts are burning hot”)(17).

In 1914, Hugo Schottmüller provided the first scientific definition of sepsis:

“sepsis is a State caused by microbial invasion from a local infectious source into the

bloodstream which leads to signs of systemic illness in remote organs” (18).

According to this definition, bacteremia was a conditio sine qua non to the

diagnosis of sepsis. This notion did not change significantly over the years

SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE SYNDROME (SIRS)

The presence of two or more of the following criteria, one of which must be

abnormal temperature or leukocyte count:

• Corea temperature of >38.5°C or <36°C

• Tachycardia, defined as a mean heart rate >2 SD above normal for age in the

absence of external stimulus, chronic drugs, or painful stimuli; or otherwise

unexplained persistent elevation over a 0.5- to 4-hour time period or for children

<1 year old: Bradycardia, defined as a mean heart rate <10th percentile for age in

the absence of external vagal stimulus, beta-blocker drugs, or congenital heart

disease;

7

Page 8: Dr Bhargav kiran  general medicine Dissertation Protocol

• Mean respiratory rate >2 SD above normal for age or mechanical ventilation for an

acute process not related to underlying neuromuscular disease or the receipt of

general anesthesia

• Leukocyte count elevated or depressed for age (not secondary to chemotherapy-

induced leukopenia) or >10% immature neutrophils

SEPSIS

SIRS in the presence of or as a result of suspected or proven infection

SEVERE SEPSIS

Sepsis plus the following: cardiovascular organ dysfunction, acute respiratory

distress syndrome (ARDS), or two or more other organ dysfunctions

SEPTIC SHOCK

Sepsis and cardiovascular organ dysfunction

In 1993 Levine DM et al(19) was the first to explain the protective effect of

HDL-C against bacterial endotoxin. They showed, transgenic mice with high HDL-C

had high levels of endotoxin bound to HDL-C, low levels of cytokine response and

improved survival compared with mice having low HDL-C level.

Hudgins et al,(11) in a study evaluating the systemic inflammatory response in both

septicpatients and healthy volunteers injected with a low dose of endotoxin, found

that there is a major disruption in the normal metabolism of lipids, including lower

levels of circulating HDL-C and the loss of one of the most abundant HDL

apolipoproteins, Apo-A1.(14) Changes in plasma lipids have been demonstrated to

8

Page 9: Dr Bhargav kiran  general medicine Dissertation Protocol

occur very early in systemic inflammation, with evidence that HDL-C decreases

within hours of systemic cytokine stimulation,8 suggesting that plasma lipids,

specifically HDL-C and Apo-A1 levels, may have significant promise as a sensitive

prognostic markers of mortality in patients admitted to the ICU with sepsis.,

Windleret al13 suggest that the convenience of total cholesterol is its non-

specificity for any particular disease, which make low serum cholesterol a potential

universal marker of mortality for a spectrum of diagnoses in the ICU.

Shor R et al(20) retrospective analysis of 204 patients showed low HDL (≤20

mg/dl) was associated with a 17.5-fold increase in odds for death compared to HDL

≥ 65 mg/dl (OR 17.5 95% CI, 5.2–59.04, P < 0.0001)

Van Leeuwen HJ et al (9) and Dunham CM et al (10) observed finding of

rapidly changing HDL levels in severe sepsis patients,

SH Lee et al (16) concluded from his study that Non-survivors showed

significantly higher SOFA scores than survivors (p = 0.008). Non-survivors had low

levels of cholesterol, TG, HDL, LDL, and apo A-I levels on days 0, 1, 3, and 7.

NareshMonigari*,et al (1) concluded that t here is significant association of

low HDL value on day 1 with mortality. HDL value of 9 mg/dl at admission had

sensitivity of 89% and specificity of 73% predicting the overall mortality in patients

with severe sepsis. Risk of death in patients with day 1 HDL value <10mg/dl is 7.01

times the risk of death in patients with day 1 HDL value ≥10mg/dl . Trend of HDL

correlated with clinical outcome of patients. Raising trend favours improvement in

clinical condition and decreasing trend implied worsening of the clinical condition.

9

Page 10: Dr Bhargav kiran  general medicine Dissertation Protocol

Baseline HDL value correlated with APACHE 2 score in predicting mortality in ICU

Patients

Emerging evidence suggests that serum total cholesterol may be a useful and

superior prognostic marker of mortality for patients admitted to the ICU with sepsis

secondary to infection compared to its CRP and PCT counterparts(6). With larger,

more comprehensive studies, it is likely that evidence will indicate that serum

cholesterol levels will provide ICU clinicians a more sensitive screening tool for

identifying those patients at highest risk for morbidity and mortality irrespective to

other underlying comorbidities, whereas CRP may be more useful for monitoring

response to therapy.

Monitoring serum cholesterol levels on hospital admission could provide a

very novel, inexpensive tool that has the potential to start early and aggressive

therapy in patients most at risk for death, thus decreasing the mortality rate

secondary to sepsis.

Understanding the patho-physiology of lipid metabolism in the event of systemic

inflammation also opens the door to additional experimental therapy including the

use of statin medications in septic patients.(6)

4 RESEARCH QUESTION OR HYPOTHESIS
