ABSTRACT
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a
heterogeneous, multidimensional, and potentially lethal
disease. Biological markers such as troponin I (TI) may be
useful for diagnosis and prognosis.
Objective: To determine the usefulness of TI as a marker for early identification of
ARDS and as a prognostic factor of death.
Material and methods: Diagnostic test study. We included children from
one month to 14 years of age with shock; those who presented
ARDS on admission, history of toxic intake, and renal disease
were excluded. TI was determined in blood at the time of
shock diagnosis. Follow-up was given for seven days in
search of ARDS development.
Results: Sixty-five children
with shock were enrolled; 32 developed ARDS, of which 16
(50%) showed an increase in TI, range of 0.06-4.6 ng/dL. TI as
a diagnostic test showed sensitivity 50% (CI 95% 0.33-0.67),
specificity 85% (CI 95% 0.73-0.97), positive predictive value
76% (CI 95% 0.58-0.94), negative predictive value 0.64 (CI
95% 0.49-0.78), positive likelihood ratio 3.3 (CI 95% 1.4-7.9),
negative likelihood ratio 0.59 (CI 95% 0.40-0.87). Children
who had an increase in TI had a higher severity of ARDS; in
this group, nine (43%) children died (p = 0.98).
Conclusions: TI seems to be a marker for early identification of ARDS in
children with shock; it requires further research to verify its
true usefulness.
