Abstract：Objective:To investigate the correlation study between serum calcium ion level and disease severity and prognosis in sepsis patients. Method:68 sepsis patients in ICU ward of our hospital from January 2008 to December 2013 were selected,they were divided into the mild group for 20 cases, the severe group for 30 cases and the shock group for 18 cases according to sepsis severity.They were divided into the survival group for 51 cases and the death group for 17 cases according to whether survival.Another 30 healthy cases were selected as the control group.The serum Ca2+level and APACHEⅡscore within 24 h after admitted to ICU of each groups were observed and compared.Result:The serum Ca2+levels of patients with sepsis were significantly lower than that of normal group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05),and the serum Ca2+level of mild group was significantly higher than that of severe group,and that of severe group was significantly higher than that of shock group(P<0.05).Comparison of APACHEⅡscore in the three groups,that of the mild group was significantly less than the severe group,and that of the severe group was significantly less than the shock group(P<0.05).The serum Ca2+level of death group was significantly lower than that of survival group,the APACHEⅡscore of death group was significantly higher than that of survival group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was a significant negative correlation between serum Ca2+level and APACHEⅡscore(r=0.618,P=0.00).Conclusion:The serum Ca2+as a serological index,the examination is simple,fast.There is a strong correlation between APACHEⅡscore and serum Ca2+of sepsis patients.The combined detection of APACHEⅡscore and serum Ca2+of sepsis patients can assess the disease and formulate reasonable treatment plan,in order to improve the prognosis of patients,improve the survival rate.
