Objective To investigate the early diagnosis value of neutrophil-side-fluorescence intensity (NE-SFI) on heat stroke (HS)-related disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Methods According to the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) scoring criteria, thirty-four HS patients admitted to the General Hospital of Southern Theater Command from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018 were selected and divided into HS without DIC group (DIC score <5 points, n=23)and HS with DIC group (DIC score ≥5 points, n=11). The patient's general information, NE-SFI, and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)-related markers such as, dsDNA (double-stranded DNA), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and citrullinated histone (CitH3)were compared between the two groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the early diagnostic value of NE-SFI in HS with DIC. Results There was no significant difference in age, maximum body temperature, white blood cell count and neutrophil count between the two groups (P>0.05). The proportion of patients in the HS with DIC group whose core temperature dropped below 38.5 ℃ within 3 hours and the GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale) score were lower than those in the HS without DIC group, while the alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatinine, ISTH (International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis) score, and the proportion of concurrent multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in the HS with DIC group were higher than those in the HS without DIC group (P<0.05). On the 1st to 3rd day of onset, the NE-SFI values of the HS with DIC group were higher than those of the HS without DIC group (P<0.001). Compared with the serum dsDNA, MPO, and CitH3 in HS without DIC group [respectively (30.14±7.01) ng/ml, (56.39±34.64) pg/ml, (320.26±89.60) ng/μl], the serum dsDNA, MPO and CitH3 levels in HS with DIC group [respectively (372.93±135.77) ng/ml, (108.32±38.58) pg/ml, (600.18±183.74) ng/μl]are significantly increased (P<0.001). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the value of NE-SFI on day 1-3 were positively correlated with the levels of dsDNA, MPO and CitH3 on day 1 (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ROC curve analysis showed that NE-SFI on day 2 had a high value for the early diagnosis of HS complicated with DIC, and its AUC was 0.921 (95%CI 0.820-1.000, P<0.001). Conclusion NE-SFI can be used as an effective indicator for the early diagnosis in HS complicated with DIC.
