Abstract Objective To evaluate the value of pancreatic stone protein/regenerating protein (PSP/reg) in severity evaluation and prognosis prediction for children with sepsis. Methods In this prospective case-control study, 159 children with sepsis (106 cases in the sepsis group; 53 cases in the severe sepsis group, including 12 cases of septic shock) and 20 children without sepsis (control group) were enrolled. ELISA was applied to measure plasma PSP/reg levels on days 1, 3, and 7 of admission to the PICU. The Spearman rank correlation test was applied to assess the correlations between plasma PSP/reg level and serum procalcitonin (PCT), CRP, WBC count, and pediatric critical illness score (PCIS). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to assess the value of each index in determining severity and predicting prognosis for children with sepsis. Results On day 1 of admission to the PICU, plasma PSP/reg levels in the sepsis and severe sepsis groups were significantly higher than in the control group (PPn=132) had a significantly lower plasma PSP/reg level than the non-survival group (n=27) (Prs=0.212 and 0.548, respectively; both Prs=-0.373; PPConclusions PSP/reg is closely related to infection, and has a certain clinical value in risk stratification of sepsis and prognosis evaluation.
