Objective

To explore diagnostic values of serum soluble CD14 subtype (sCD14-ST, presepsin) in neonatal sepsis (NS) by Meta-analysis.

Methods

Prospective or retrospective case-control studies literature on diagnostic value of serum presepsin in NS in English databases such as PubMed and Web of Science, as well as Chinese databases such as CNKI and Wanfang database were searched by computer and Cochrane system evaluation method. Literature retrieval time was set from January 1990 to September 2020. According to retrieval strategies set in this study, researchers searched and screened literature and extracted data, and evaluated quality of literature by Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2), and then used Meta-Disc 1.4 and Stata 14.0 software for Meta-analysis. The main outcome indicators of serum presepsin in diagnosis of NS were combined sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), summary receiver operating characteristics (SROC) curve and area under curve (AUC). Threshold effect was evaluated by distribution characteristics of SROC curve and Spearman correlation coefficient between sensitivity logarithm and (1-specificity) logarithm of serum presepsin in diagnosis of NS. Heterogeneity between studies was analyzed by Cochrane-Q test, and the source of heterogeneity was further explored by subgroup analysis. Publication bias was analyzed by Deek′s funnel plot.

Results

A total of 15 pieces of literature were finally included, and results of study on value of serum presepsin in diagnosis of NS were as follows. ①A total of 1 394 newborns from 6 countries were included with 812 cases of NS children in study group and 582 cases of non-NS children in control group. ②The 15 pieces of literature met the criteria of diagnostic accuracy quality evaluation of QUADAS-2 with acceptable bias risk and applicable NS diagnostic standard. ③Results of SROC curve of serum presepsin in diagnosis of NS in 15 pieces of included literature showed that SROC curve did not show a typical " shoulder-arm" distribution, and Spearman correlation coefficient between sensitivity logarithm and (1-specificity) logarithm of serum presepsin in diagnosis of NS was -0.020 (P=0.945), indicating that there was no threshold effect among 15 pieces of literature. The sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR and DOR value of serum presepsin in diagnosis of NS were highly heterogeneous (I2=81.0%, 75.8%, 67.2%, 76.3%, 68.7%; all P<0.001), suggesting that there was heterogeneity caused by non-threshold effect among 15 pieces of literature. So, random effect model was used for Meta-analysis. Combined sensitivity of serum presepsin in diagnosis of NS was 89% (95%CI: 87%-91%, P<0.001), combined specificity was 90% (95%CI: 88%-93%, P<0.001), combined PLR was 8.39 (95%CI: 5.18-13.60, P<0.001), combined NLR was 0.13 (95%CI: 0.09-0.21, P<0.001), and combined DOR value was 98.83 (95%CI: 43.21-226.07, P<0.001), SROC-AUC was 0.96 (95%CI: 0.95-0.98). Subgroup analysis showed that non-threshold effect heterogeneity among literature may be caused by serum presepsin detection method [enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method: PLR of serum presepsin in diagnosis of NS was 12.10 (6.31-23.17), I2=42.9%, P=0.105, DOR value was 270.76 (84.62-866.32), I2=40.5%, P=0.121; chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) method: PLR was 5.80 (3.27-10.28), I2=65.9%, P=0.005, DOR value was 45.47 (17.5-118.15), I2=69.0%, P=0.002]. ④Deek′s funnel plot showed that 15 pieces of literature were basically symmetrically distributed on 2 sides of the regression line, and the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.640).

Conclusions

Diagnostic value of serum presepsin in NS is relatively high in 15 pieces of literature, and detection of serum presepsin by ELISA is more accurate and reliable in diagnosis of NS. Limited by the subjects and quality of included literature, the above conclusions need to be confirmed by more high-quality studies.
