Abstract:Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of metabolic syndrome on the severity and prognosis in patients with sepsis. Methods A total of 330 patients with sepsis admitted into our department from January 2014 to December 2016 were enrolled and were divided into MS group and non-MS group. Basic clinical data, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE II) score, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, morbidity, morbidity of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), hospitalization stay and the 28-day mortality were recorded. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine effect of MS on prognosis in the patients with sepsis. Results SOFA score, procalcitonin (PCT), incidence of septic shock and MODS in the MS group were significantly increased compared with non-MS group. Compared with non-MS group, the hospitalization stay and the mortality wereincreased enhanced. Logistic regression analysis indicated that MS was an independent risk factor of poor prognosis (P < 0.05). Conclusions Metabolic syndrome is closely correlated with the severity and prognosis of sepsis.
