Project description:Sepsis is a debilitating disease with a worldwide prevalence. An increasing number of patients with sepsis, especially aged patients, suffer from chronic critical illness and develop persistent inflammation-immunosuppression and catabolism syndrome (PICS). Here, we profiled peripheral blood mononuclear cells in four patients with PICS, two patients with acute sepsis, and three healthy controls using single-cell RNA sequencing and systematic analyses. We found that gene expression patterns and developmental routes in distinct immune cell populations exhibited notable differences between patients with PICS, patients with acute sepsis, and healthy controls.

Project description:BackgroundWe recently proffered that a new syndrome persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism syndrome (PICS) has replaced late multiple-organ failure as a predominant phenotype of chronic critical illness. Our goal was to validate this by determining whether severely injured trauma patients with complicated outcomes have evidence of PICS at the genomic level.MethodsWe performed a secondary analysis of the Inflammation and Host Response to Injury database of adults with severe blunt trauma. Patients were classified into complicated, intermediate, and uncomplicated clinical trajectories. Existing genomic microarray data were compared between cohorts using Ingenuity Pathways Analysis. Epidemiologic data and outcomes were also analyzed between cohorts on admission, Day 7, and Day 14.ResultsComplicated patients were older, were sicker, and required increased ventilator days compared with the intermediate/uncomplicated patients. They also had persistent leukocytosis as well as low lymphocyte and albumin levels compared with uncomplicated patients. Total white blood cell leukocyte analysis in complicated patients showed that overall genome-wide expression patterns and those patterns on Days 7 and 14 were more aberrant from control subjects than were patterns from uncomplicated patients. Complicated patients also had significant down-regulation of adaptive immunity and up-regulation of inflammatory genes on Days 7 and 14 (vs. magnitude in fold change compared with control and in magnitude compared with uncomplicated patients). On Day 7, complicated patients had significant changes in functional pathways involved in the suppression of myeloid cell differentiation, increased inflammation, decreased chemotaxis, and defective innate immunity compared with uncomplicated patients and controls. Subset analysis of monocyte, neutrophil, and T-cells supported these findings.ConclusionGenomic analysis of patients with complicated clinical outcomes exhibit persistent genomic expression changes consistent with defects in the adaptive immune response and increased inflammation. Clinical data showed persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and protein depletion. Overall, the data support the hypothesis that patients with complicated clinical outcomes are exhibiting PICS.Level of evidenceEpidemiologic study, level III.

Project description:ObjectivesTo provide an appraisal of the evolving paradigms in the pathophysiology of sepsis and propose the evolution of a new phenotype of critically ill patients, its potential underlying mechanism, and its implications for the future of sepsis management and research.DesignLiterature search using PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google Scholar.Measurements and main resultsSepsis remains one of the most debilitating and expensive illnesses, and its prevalence is not declining. What is changing is our definition(s), its clinical course, and how we manage the septic patient. Once thought to be predominantly a syndrome of over exuberant inflammation, sepsis is now recognized as a syndrome of aberrant host protective immunity. Earlier recognition and compliance with treatment bundles has fortunately led to a decline in multiple organ failure and in-hospital mortality. Unfortunately, more and more sepsis patients, especially the aged, are suffering chronic critical illness, rarely fully recover, and often experience an indolent death. Patients with chronic critical illness often exhibit "a persistent inflammation-immunosuppression and catabolism syndrome," and it is proposed here that this state of persisting inflammation, immunosuppression and catabolism contributes to many of these adverse clinical outcomes. The underlying cause of inflammation-immunosuppression and catabolism syndrome is currently unknown, but there is increasing evidence that altered myelopoiesis, reduced effector T-cell function, and expansion of immature myeloid-derived suppressor cells are all contributory.ConclusionsAlthough newer therapeutic interventions are targeting the inflammatory, the immunosuppressive, and the protein catabolic responses individually, successful treatment of the septic patient with chronic critical illness and persistent inflammation-immunosuppression and catabolism syndrome may require a more complementary approach.

Project description:Many patients in intensive care units, especially the elderly, suffer from chronic critical illness and exhibit a new pathophysiological phenotype: persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism syndrome (PICS). Most patients with PICS have a constellation of digestive-system symptoms and gut failure. Akkermansia muciniphila (Akk) is a commensal gut bacterium that reduces inflammation, balances immune responses, modulates energy metabolism, and supports gut health. This study investigated the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of live and pasteurized Akk in treating PICS in a mouse model. PICS was induced on day 14 after performing cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) on day 1 and administrating lipopolysaccharide on day 11. Pasteurized or live Akk, or phosphate-buffered saline was administered twice daily by oral gavage for 7 days. Both live and pasteurized Akk attenuated PICS, as evidenced by reduced weight loss, and a reduction in symptoms and serum cytokine/chemokine levels. Liver and intestinal injuries were mitigated, and intestinal barrier integrity improved with Akk administration. Analysis of 16S rRNA amplicon sequences showed that Akk induced significant intestinal microbiota alterations, including increased abundance of Akk, Muribaculaceae, Parabacterbides goldsteinii, and decreased abundance of Escherichia_Shigella and Enterobacteriaceae. Collectively, Akk alleviates PICS by enhancing gut barrier function and reshaped the microbial community.

Project description:Persistent inflammation, immunosuppression and catabolism syndrome (PIICS) often occur after critical care. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is expected to be associated independently with PIICS development. We retrospectively analyzed 5397 patients admitted to the Hitachi General Hospital emergency and critical care center during four years. We classified PIICS as C-reactive protein > 3.0 mg/dL or albumin < 3.0 g/dL or lymphocyte count < 800/μL on day 14. Prolonged hospital stay (>14 days) without PIICS and early recovery (discharged alive within 14 days) were assigned as non-PIICS. Early death (death within 14 days) was identified. We analyzed the association between the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis overt DIC and PIICS outcomes. Results revealed 488 PIICS, 416 early death and 4493 non-PIICS cases. Analyses showed DIC as associated significantly with mortality, the Barthel index at discharge and PIICS development. Multivariate regression analysis and a generalized structural equation model identified DIC on admission as an independent risk factor for PIICS in surviving patients.

Project description:BackgroundHospital deaths after sepsis have decreased substantially and most young adult survivors rapidly recover (RAP). However, many older survivors develop chronic critical illness (CCI) with poor long-term outcomes. The etiology of CCI is multifactorial and the relative importance remains unclear. Sepsis is caused by a dysregulated immune response and biomarkers reflecting a persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism syndrome (PICS) have been observed in CCI after sepsis. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare serial PICS biomarkers in (i) older (vs young) adults and (ii) older CCI (vs older RAP) patients to gain insight into underlying pathobiology of CCI in older adults.MethodProspective longitudinal study with young (≤45 years) and older (≥65 years) septic adults, who were characterized by (i) baseline predisposition, (ii) hospital outcomes, (iii) serial Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) organ dysfunction scores over 14 days, (iv) Zubrod Performance status at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up, and (v) mortality over 12 months, was conducted. Serial blood samples over 14 days were analyzed for selected biomarkers reflecting PICS.ResultsCompared to the young, more older adults developed CCI (20% vs 42%) and had markedly worse serial SOFA scores, performance status, and mortality over 12 months. Additionally, older (vs young) and older CCI (vs older RAP) patients had more persistent aberrations in biomarkers reflecting inflammation, immunosuppression, stress metabolism, lack of anabolism, and antiangiogenesis over 14 days after sepsis.ConclusionOlder (vs young) and older CCI (vs older RAP) patient subgroups demonstrate early biomarker evidence of the underlying pathobiology of PICS.

Project description:Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a severe disease with a high prevalence and a 3-15% mortality worldwide, and premature activation of zymogen for any reason is the initial factor for the onset of SAP. Gallstone disease and heavy alcohol consumption are the two most common etiologies of SAP. Persistent inflammation, immunosuppression and catabolism syndrome (PICS) is a life-threatening illness, and there are no effective treatments. The relapse state of PICS mainly leads to high mortality due to septic shock or severe trauma, both of which are dangerous and challenging conditions for clinicians. Thus, it is important for medical staff to identify patients at high risk of PICS and to master the prevention and treatment of PICS in patients with SAP. The present review aims to increase the understanding of the pathogenesis of PICS, produce evidence for PICS diagnosis and highlight clinical treatment for PICS in patients with SAP. With this information, clinical workers could implement standardized and integrated measures at an early stage of SAP to stop its progression to PICS.

Project description:Persistent Inflammation, Immunosuppression, and Catabolism Syndrome (PICS) is a clinical endotype of chronic critical illness. PICS consists of a self-perpetuating cycle of ongoing organ dysfunction, inflammation, and catabolism resulting in sarcopenia, immunosuppression leading to recurrent infections, metabolic derangements, and changes in bone marrow function. There is heterogeneity regarding the definition of PICS. Currently, there are no licensed treatments specifically for PICS. However, findings can be extrapolated from studies in other conditions with similar features to repurpose drugs, and in animal models. Drugs that can restore immune homeostasis by stimulating lymphocyte production could have potential efficacy. Another treatment could be modifying myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) activation after day 14 when they are immunosuppressive. Drugs such as interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6 receptor antagonists might reduce persistent inflammation, although they need to be given at specific time points to avoid adverse effects. Antioxidants could treat the oxidative stress caused by mitochondrial dysfunction in PICS. Possible anti-catabolic agents include testosterone, oxandrolone, IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1), bortezomib, and MURF1 (muscle RING-finger protein-1) inhibitors. Nutritional support strategies that could slow PICS progression include ketogenic feeding and probiotics. The field would benefit from a consensus definition of PICS using biologically based cut-off values. Future research should focus on expanding knowledge on underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of PICS to identify and validate other potential endotypes of chronic critical illness and subsequent treatable traits. There is unlikely to be a universal treatment for PICS, and a multimodal, timely, and personalised therapeutic strategy will be needed to improve outcomes for this growing cohort of patients.

Project description:BackgroundDelayed mortality in sepsis often is linked to a lack of resolution in the inflammatory cascade termed persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism syndrome (PICS). Limited research exists on PICS in pediatric patients with sepsis.Research questionWhat is the prevalence of pediatric PICS (pPICS) in patients who died of sepsis-related causes and what associated pathogen profiles and comorbidities did they have compared with those patients without pPICS who died from sepsis?Study design and methodsA retrospective study of a single institution using a de-identified database from 1997 through 2020 for all patients aged 21 years or younger who died of culture-positive sepsis from a known source and who had laboratory data available were evaluated for the presence of pPICS.ResultsAmong records extracted from the institutional database, 557 patients had culture-positive sepsis, with 262 patients having pPICS (47%). Patients with pPICS were more likely to have underlying hematologic or oncologic disease or cardiac disease. In addition, patients who had pPICS showed increased odds of associated fungal infection compared with those patients who did not (OR, 2.69; 95% CI, 1.59-4.61; P < .001). When assessing laboratory criteria, having a sustained absolute lymphocyte count of < 1.0 × 103/μL was most closely associated with having pPICS compared with other laboratory parameters. Finally, the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that patients with pPICS were more common in the cardiac ICU, as opposed to the PICU (OR, 3.43; CI, 1.57-7.64; P = .002).InterpretationPediatric patients who died of a sepsis-related cause have a pPICS phenotype nearly one-half of the time. These patients are more likely to be in the cardiac ICU than the pediatric ICU and have associated fungal infections. Special attention should be directed toward this population in future research.

Project description:Persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism syndrome (PICS) is a serious condition after critical care. We examined the efficacy of antithrombin, which may attenuate coagulopathy with the control of inflammation, for PICS among patients with sepsis-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The present study used the inpatient claims database with laboratory findings to identify patients admitted to intensive care units and diagnosed with sepsis and DIC. A composite of the incidence of PICS on day 14 or 14-day mortality as the primary outcome was compared between the antithrombin and control groups using a propensity-score-matched analysis. Secondary outcomes were the incidence of PICS on day 28, 28-day mortality, and in-hospital mortality. A total of 324 well-balanced matched pairs were generated from 1622 patients. The primary outcome did not differ between the antithrombin and control groups (63.9% vs. 68.2%, respectively, p = 0.245). However, the incidences of 28-day and in-hospital mortality were significantly lower in the antithrombin group (16.0% vs. 23.5% and 24.4% vs. 35.8%, respectively). Similar results were obtained in a sensitivity analysis using overlap weighting. Antithrombin did not reduce the occurrence of PICS on day 14 in patients with sepsis-induced DIC; however, it was associated with a better mid-term (day 28) prognosis.
