1 비순환기계중환자의예후인자로서 Cardiac Troponin I 의유용성 경상대학교의과대학내과학교실김휘종, 함현석, 조유지, 김호철, 이종덕, 황영실 Usefulness of Cardiac Troponin I as a Prognostic Marker in Non cardiac Critically Ill Patients Hwi Jong Kim, M.D., Hyoun Seok Ham, M.D., Yu Ji Cho, M.D., Ho Cheol Kim, M.D., Jong Deok Lee M.D., Young Sil Hwang M.D. Department of Internal Medicine, College of Medicine, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju Background : Cardiac troponin I (ctni) is a specific marker of myocardial injury. It is known that a higher level of ctni is associated with a poor clinical outcome in patients with acute coronary syndrome. An elevation in ctni is also observed in various noncardiac critical illnesses. This study evaluated whether ctni is useful for predicting the prognosis in noncardiac critically ill patients. Methods : From June 2003 to July 2004 at Gyeongsang National University Hospital, we enrolled 215 patients (male:142, female:73, mean age:63±15 years ) who were admitted for critical illness other than acute coronary syndrome at the medical intensive care unit(icu). The severity score of critical illness (SAPS Ⅱ and SOFA) was determined and serum ctni level was measured within 24 hours after admission to the ICU. The mortality rate was compared between the ctni positive ( 0.1µg/L) and ctni negative (ctni<0.1µg/l) patients at the 10 th and 30 th day after admission to the ICU. The mean ctni value was compared between the survivors and non survivors at the 10 th and 30 th day after admission to the ICU in the ctni positive patients. The correlation between ctni and the severity of the critical illness score (SAPS Ⅱ and SOFA) was also analyzed in ctni positive patients. Results : 1) The number of ctni negative and positive patients were 95(44%) and 120(56%), respectively. 2) The mortality rate at the 10 th and 30 th day after admission to the ICU was significantly higher in the ctni positive patients (29%, 41%) than in the ctni negative patients (12%, 21%)(p<0.01). 3) In the ctni positive patients, the mean value of the ctni at the 10 th and 30 th day after admission to the ICU was significantly higher in the non survivors (4.5 ± 9.2 μg/l, 3.5 ± 7.9 μg/l) than in the survivors( 1.8 ± 3.6 μg/l, 2.0 ± 3.9 μg/l) (p < 0.05). 4) In the ctni positive patients, the ctni level was significantly correlated with the SAPS Ⅱ score (r=0.24, p<0.001) and SOFA score (r=0.30, p<0.001). Conclusion : The ctni may be a useful prognostic marker in noncardiac critically ill patients.

6 HJ Kim et al.: Cardiac troponin I in noncardiac critically ill patients 중환자에서심장의기능이상은독립적인예후인자로알려져있다 30. 따라서심근손상의특이지표인 ctni는중환자의초기예후인자로유용할가능성이있다. 본연구에서 215명의비순환기계중환자중 120 명 (55.8%) 에서혈청 ctni가증가하였고, ctni 양성군의사망률이 ctni 음성군보다높았다. 그리고, 혈청 ctni의수치는중증도점수와양의상관관계가있었다. 이는cTnI 가비순환기계중환자의예후인자로사용할수있음을시사하는결과라할수있겠다. 최근여러연구에서 ctni는급성관상동맥증후군뿐만아니라패혈증, 급성폐색전증, 만성폐쇄성폐질환, 만성신부전등과같이비순환기계환자에서도증가한다고보고되고있다 32,33. Guest 등 16 은비순환기계환자 209명의환자중에서 15% 인 32명이 ctni가증가하였고 (ctni > 3.6ng/ml), Ammann등 17 은 58명의비순환기계중환자중에서 55% 인 32명의환자에서 ctni가증가함을보고하였다 (ctni > 0.1ng/mL). 본연구에서는 215명의비순환기계중환자중 56% 인 120명의환자들이 ctni 증가를보여비교적높은 ctni 양성률을보였다. ctni의양성률은연구마다차이가있는데, 이는 ctni의측정체계가아직표준화되어있지않아 ctni 의분별한계수치가연구마다다르기때문이다. 본연구에서는 ctni의분별한계수치를 0.1ng/ ml로하여 Ammann등 17 의연구결과에서보이는 ctni 양성률과비슷한결과를보였다. 패혈증의경우, 본연구에서 122명의환자중 57% 인 69명이혈청 ctni 의증가를보였다. 지금까지여러연구에서패혈증환자의 31%-80% 정도가혈청 ctni 가증가한다고보고되고있는데 16,34,35, 패혈증환자에서혈청 ctni의증가원인은아직정확하게알려지지않고있다. 다만가능하다고생각되는기전으로는 Tumor necrosis factor-α 17,36 나활성산소 (reactive oxygen species) 와같은매개체들에의해유발되는심근독성, 박테리아의내독소에의한심근손상, 미세순환장애에의한심근의허혈과재관류손상등이있다 37. 만성폐쇄성폐질환의경우, 215명의대상환자중 23명이만성폐쇄성폐질환의급성악화로입원하였으며이중에서 13 명 (57%) 에서 ctni 이증가하였다. Baillard 등 26 은 71명의만성폐쇄성폐질환의급성악화를보인 환자의 18% 에서 ctni 증가를보였다고보고하였고그기전으로급성악화에의한호흡일과산소소비의증가, 흉곽내압력의감소로인한좌심실후부하의증가, 폐고혈압의악화, 그리고저산소증과고탄산혈증등이심근손상을유발할것으로추측하였다. 이처럼혈청 ctni는관상동맥질환이아닌비순환기계질환에서도증가한다는것을볼수있다. 본연구에서는 ctni가 0.75 ng/ml 일때민감도가 55.1%, 특이도가 59.1% 로, 비록높지는않았다. 그러나본연구에서 ctni 양성군이음성군에비해제10병일째와제30병일째모두사망률이높았으며, 제10병일째와제30병일째사망군의혈청 ctni 수치가생존군보다높았다. 그리고혈청 ctni와제1병일째 SAPS Ⅱ, SOFA 점수와유의한상관관계가있었다. 이는 ctni 가유용한예후예측인자로사용할수있다는것을시사하는소견이다. Wright 등 18 과 Mehta 등 38 은 ctni가독립적인예후인자로작용한다고보고하였고, 그동안의여러연구에서 ctni는중환자예후와관련이있다고보고되고있다. 하지만 Gunnerwiek 등 29 은 34명의중환자에서 ctni 음성군과양성군간에사망률의차이를찾지못하였다고보고하였지만이연구는조사대상의환자수가적은제한점이있었다. 패혈증환자들에서의 ctni 수치증가여부에관한연구는비교적많이보고가되고있다. 그러나패혈증의중증도에따른 ctni 수치의차이비교에관한연구는거의없다 27. 본연구에서는 ctni 양성군환자에서음성군환자에비해패혈성쇽의비율이유의하게높았다. 패혈증의중증도는사망률과관계가있고 30,39, ctni 수치가질환의중증도및사망률과관계가있으므로 ctni가패혈증에서질환의중증도와예후의지표로사용할수있으리라추측할수있다. 본연구의제한점으로는첫째, 대상환자에서혈청 ctni를연속적으로측정하지않았다는것이다. 심장에서분비되는효소나표지자의측정은시간에따라서기저값과연결되어평가되어야한다 32. 하나의정상혹은비정상의값보다는연속적인값이표지자의농도변화의역동성을반영하고환자의진전되는변화를포착할수있기때문이다 40. 둘째, 대상환자에서급성관상동맥증후군을배제하는데심장초음파나 58

7 Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases Vol. 59. No. 1, Jul 관상동맥조영술과같이적극적인검사를시행하지않은점이다. 급성관상동맥증후군에는불안정협심증과비 ST분절상승심근경색증이포함되어있기때문에심전도가정상소견이라할지라도상기질환을배제할수없다. 향후상기와같은제한점을고려하여, 독립예후인자로서 ctni 의유용성에대한더많은연구가필요할것으로사료된다. 요약배경 : ctni는심근손상의특이표시자로서급성관상동맥질환에서높은증가는나쁜예후와상관이있다. ctni 의증가는여러가지비심장성중증질환에서도관찰할수있다. 연구자등은비순환기계중환자의예후인자로서 ctni의유용성을조사하였다. 대상및방법 : 2003년 1월부터 2004년 7월까지경상대학교병원내과계중환자실에급성관상동맥증후군이외의중증질환으로입원한 215명의환자 ( 남 :142 명, 여 :73명, 평균나이 :63±2 세 ) 를대상으로하였다. 환자들은중환자실입원 24시간이내에 SAPS Ⅱ와 SOFA점수를산출하였고혈청 ctni를측정하였다. ctni 양성군 ( 0.1µg/L) 과음성군 (<0.1µg/L) 환자의중환자실제 10 병일째와 30병일째사망률을비교하였다. ctni 양성군에서중환자실제 10병일째와 30병일째에혈청 ctni의평균수치를비교하였다. ctni 양성군에서혈청 ctni 수치와 SAPS Ⅱ와 SOFA 점수와의상관관계를조사하였다. 결과 : 1) ctni 양성군환자는 120명 (56%) 이었고음성군환자는 95명 (44%) 였다. 2) 중환자실제 10병일째와 30 병일째의사망률은 ctni 양성군 (29%, 41%) 이음성군 (12%, 21%) 보다유의하게높았다 (p<0.01). 3) ctni 양성군에서중환자실제 10병일째와 30병일째의 ctni 평균수치는비생존군 (4.5 ± 9.2 μg/l, 3.5 ± 7.9 μg/l) 이생존군 (1.8 ± 3.6 μg/l, 2.0 ± 3.9 μg/l) 보다유의하게높았다 (p<0.05). 4) ctni 양성군에서 ctni 수치는 SAPS Ⅱ 점수 (r=0.24, p<0.001) 와 SOFA 점수 (r=0.30, p<0.001) 와유의한상관관계가있었다. 결론 : 혈청 ctni는비순환기계중환자의유용한예후인자가될수있을것으로사료된다. 참고문헌 1.
