Ref. | Type of study | Patient population | Aim | No. of patients/studies | Results | Conclusion of study |
Su et al[67], 2016 | Systematic review | Adults | To determine prognostic value of sTREM1 in predicting mortality at the initial stage of infection | 9 studies | High sTREM1 level was associated with higher risk of death in infection, with pooled RR 2.54 (95%CI: 0.61-0.86) using a random effects model; Pooled sensitivity and specificity of sTREM1 to predict mortality in infection were 0.75 (95%CI: 0.61-0.86) and 0.66 (95%CI: 0.54-0.75), respectively | Higher sTREM1 levels had a moderate prognostic significance in assessing the mortality of infection in adult patients; however sTREM1 alone is not sufficient to predict mortality as a marker |
Su et al[68], 2012 | Observational | Adults | To study the association of sepsis prognosis with dynamic changes in sTREM1 and its polymorphisms | 160 | sTREM1 levels were significantly raised in non survivors than in survivors (P < 0.001); Logistic regression showed that sTREM1, APACHE 2, and rs2234237 polymorphisms are risk factors for prognosis | Dynamic changes in sTREM1 and rs2234237 polymorphism could be used for prognostication in septic patients |
Wang et al[69], 2011 | Observational | Adults | To observe dynamic changes in plasma sTREM1 levels and to study its effect on predicting outcome of septic patients combined with SOFA score | 57 | Non survivors-sTREM1 levels were highest on Day 1 and a gradual elevation was seen over days 1, 3 and 7). Survivor-sTREM levels were highest on day 1 and then showed a gradual reduction over days 1, 3 and 7. sTREM levels were significantly higher in non survivors as compared to survivors (P < 0.01) | High plasma levels of sTREM1 are detected at initial stages in septic patients and sTREM1 level combined with SOFA score may be helpful in predicting outcomes in septic patients |
