Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the expression of Myeloid-related proteins 8 and 14 (Mrp 8/14) and its role in ARDS induced by sepsis.Methods: A total of 168 septic patients were enrolled in the observational study. The baseline information and clinical outcomes were obtained retrospectively. Serum Mrp 8/14 level was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The patients were categorized into sepsis and ARDS group based on whether they developed ARDS during the intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization.Results: There was significant difference in the level of Mrp 8/14 between the sepsis group and ARDS groups (P < 0.05). Mrp 8/14 correlated positively with procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score on day 1, mechanical ventilation time, length of ICU stay and hospitalization expenses in ICU (all P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed Mrp 8/14 was the independent factor for forecasting the occurrence of sepsis- induced ARDS (P < 0.05). The areas under receiver operating characteristic curves for Mrp 8/14 were higher than that of PCT, APACHE II score and SOFA score on day 1 (P < 0.05).Conclusion: The serum Mrp 8/14 level at admission may be a potential marker for predicting the occurrence of ARDS induced by sepsis. Early detection of serum Mrp 8/14 could help clinicians to identify and evaluate the severity of ARDS induced by sepsis.Keywords: sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, Mrp 8/14, inflammation, intensive care unit
