Abstract
Objective: To study the correlation between serum ferritin levels with SOFA and APACHE II scores, and blood lactate levels in septic shock patients. Subject and method: 120 patients admitted to the Intensive Care Center and Infectious Diseases Department of the 108 Military Central Hospital were diagnosed with septic shock. Determine the correlation between serum ferritin levels at the time of admission (T0); Tn1, Tn3, Tn7 (Day 1, Day 3, Day 7 respectively compared to the date of diagnosis of septic shock) compared with SOFA, APACHE II score, blood lactate levels in the study patient group. Result: Serum ferritin concentration has a positive correlation, average level with SOFA scale at time T0, Tn1 with r = 0.454, p<0.01. Serum ferritin levels showed a weak positive correlation with the APACHE II score at time T0 had a correlation coefficient r = 0.183, p<0.05. Serum ferritin exhibited a moderate positive correlation with blood lactate levels at admission (r = 0.41, p<0.05). Conclusion: Monitoring serum ferritin levels at admission provides prognostic value for assessing disease severity, aiding in treatment decisions and outcome prediction for septic shock patients.
