Procalcitonin Reveals Early Dehiscence In ColoretcalSurgery: the PREDICS Study V. GIACCAGLIA
PROCALCITONIN • 116 aminoacid protein, encoded by CALC1 gene • produced and secreted by C-cells of the thyroid • calcitonin pro-hormone, Ca metabolism Bio Summit & Molecular Biology Expo Dubai, October 10th 2016 V. GIACCAGLIA
PROCALCITONIN PCT has a tissue-specific expression: • Normal conditions: • Production: only by C-cells of the thyroid • Low circulating levels of PCT (< 0.05 ng/ml) b) Bacterial infections: • Production: by all differentiated cells • High circulating levels of PCT (> 2 ng/ml) Maruna P et al. Physiol Res 2000; 49:S57-61
PROCALCITONIN • KINETIC: • Induction: 2-3 hours after endotoxin release • Peak: 6-12 hours • Half-life: 24 hours Brunkhorst FM et al. Intens Care Med 1998; 24: 888-9
PROCALCITONIN • SEPSIS BIOMARKER • diagnosis + prognosis: values related to sepsis severity • monitoring Antibiotic therapy efficacy • better sepsis biomarker than WBC, CRP and IL-6 • widely used in ICUs Meynaar IA at al. Crit Care Res Pract 2011; 2011:594645 Tromp M et al. J Infect 2012; 65:292-301
STUDY BACKGROUND • Anastomotic leak (AL): one of the most feared complications in colorectal surgery (and it’s later than you think) • Laparoscopy and ERAS lenght of stay reduction • Strong needing of an instrument that might help the surgeon to early diagnose AL PCT Bio Summit & Molecular Biology Expo Dubai, October 10th 2016 V.

RESULTS – 3rdPOD Bio Summit & Molecular Biology Expo Dubai, October 10th 2016
RESULTS – 5th POD Bio Summit & Molecular Biology Expo Dubai, October 10th 2016 V. GIACCAGLIA
RESULTS – 3rdPOD • ROC curve of biomarkers (PCT, CRP, WBC) • PCT has a similar AUC to CRP (0.775 vs 0.772), both much better than WBC (AUC 0.601) T3 PCT (AUC= 0.775) T3 CRP (AUC= 0.772) T3 WBC (AUC= 0.601)
RESULTS – 5th POD • ROC curve of biomarkers (PCT, CRP, WBC) • PCT has a betterAUC vs CRP (0.862 vs 0.806), both better than WBC (AUC 0.611) T5 PCT (AUC= 0.862) T5CRP (AUC= 0.806) T5 WBC (AUC= 0.611)
RESULTS - 3+5th POD • ROC curve PCT + CRP • PCT+CRP together give better diagnostic accuracy in 3rd POD (AUC 0.842) and in 5th POD in a statistically significant way (AUC 0.901)
CONCLUSIONS • PREDICS study shows that Procalcitonin and CRP are both goodbiomarkers for anastomotic leak early diagnosis after colorectal surgery • On the contrary, WBC is not • PCT has better diagnostic value vs CRP in 5th POD (AUC 0.862 vs 0.806) • PCT + CRP together guarantee a very good diagnostic value, especially in 5th POD (AUC 0.901)
CONCLUSIONS • PCT might be safely added to ERAS protocols, helping the surgeon to early diagnose anastomotic leak, before patients discharge Bio Summit & Molecular Biology Expo Dubai, October 10th 2016 V. GIACCAGLIA
