EVALUATION OF NEUTROPHIL FLUORESCENCE IN PATIENTS WITH DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION ASSOCIATED WITH SEPTIC SHOCK

Neutrophil fluorescence could be a reliable and early diagnostic marker of disseminated intravascular coagulation septic DIC, which can be used routinely. The objective of the investigators is to define the optimal threshold of neutrophil fluorescence associated with a sensitivity of at least 90% for the diagnosis of DIC.

Treatment and study plan

Blood sampling collection

Other

CBC performed on the background of an EDTA tube, collected routinely allowing neutrophil fluorescence measurements.

This tube will then be passed over on the automaton for a CBC measurement with leukocyte differentiation.

Primary outcomes

  1. Define the optimal threshold for neutrophil fluorescence (measured at admission of the patient to intensive care on a new automaton) associated with a sensitivity of at least 90% for the diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation DIC.

    Time frame: 1 month

    DIC is diagnosed based on the ISTH score (reference diagnosis) on day 2: patients will be considered to have DIC if the score is positive within the first 48 hours after admission to the ICU.

    Neutrophil fluorescence is measured on a new automaton.

Secondary outcomes

  1. To estimate the performance indicators of neutrophil fluorescence measured a new automaton.at admission of the patient to the ICU for all relevant thresholds.

    Time frame: 1 month

    Sensitivity (Se)

  2. To estimate the performance indicators of neutrophil fluorescence measured a new automaton.at admission of the patient to the ICU for all relevant thresholds.

    Time frame: 1 month

    Specificity (Spe)

  3. To estimate the performance indicators of neutrophil fluorescence measured a new automaton.at admission of the patient to the ICU for all relevant thresholds.

    Time frame: 1 month

    Positive Predictive Value (PPV)

  4. To estimate the performance indicators of neutrophil fluorescence measured a new automaton.at admission of the patient to the ICU for all relevant thresholds.

    Time frame: 1 month

    Negative Predictive Value (NPV)

  5. To estimate the performance indicators of neutrophil fluorescence measured a new automaton.at admission of the patient to the ICU for all relevant thresholds.

    Time frame: 1 month

    Positive and Negative Likelihood Ratios of neutrophil fluorescence measured on a new automaton., at dmission to ICU for all relevant thresholds.

  6. To compare the areas under the partial ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve (for a sensitivity greater than or equal to 90%) illustrating the performance of neutrophil fluorescence measured at the patient's admission to the ICU in the diagnosis

    Time frame: 1 month

    Area under the partial ROC curve (corresponding to a 90% ≥ Se)
