Background: Intensive care unit (ICU) is one of the largest, most expensive, and complex components of health care.
However, assessment of protein C (PC) and C- reactive protein (CRP) concentrations in ICU patients may help in identifying high risk groups and potential therapeutic targets.
Objective : to estimate the PC levels and CRP among ICU patients and their relations to ICU outcome.
Methods : this observational cross sectional study, in Al-Shifa hospital ICU, included 85 patients, and 85 healthy controls.
Plasma PC concentrations, and CRP levels were measured.
Kidney and liver dysfunctions were assessed biochemically ; in addition, coagulation tests were performed.
Results : PC levels were below the lower limit of normal in 65.9 % of patients (n = 56) at admission, irrespective of the presence primary diagnosis and sex.
PC levels were lower in non survivors (n = 17 ; 20 %) than in survivors.
There was significant correlation between PC levels and ICU outcome (P = 0.001).
Patients with high CRP levels upon ICU admission had higher mortality rates than patients with normal levels.
There was no significant correlation between CRP levels and ICU outcome (P = 0.856).
Conclusion : PC concentrations are generally low in ICU patients.
PC levels were also associated with organ dysfunction / failure and were independently associated with a higher risk of ICU mortality.
CRP levels are considered as a good early marker of morbidity and mortality in these patients.
In addition, CRP concentrations may be a valuable addition to predict the risk of death.
