Dynamic changes in peripheral blood lymphocyte trajectory predict the clinical outcomes of sepsis by Dongkai Li, Jiahui Zhang, Wei Cheng, Guoyu Zhao, Xianli Lei, Yawen Xie, Na Cui, Hao Wang

“…However, most evaluations of immunosuppression in sepsis patients rely on static, sporadic lymphocyte counts, lacking dynamic modeling over the disease course. This study aimed to apply latent class mixed modeling on longitudinal lymphocyte counts to uncover heterogeneous trajectory phenotypes in sepsis patients and assess their predictive value for clinical outcomes.ResultsFour lymphocyte trajectory phenotypes were identified in the retrospective cohort (n=2,149) and externally validated (n=2,388): high–declining (α, 3.8%), stable–medium (β, 69.3%), high–increasing (γ, 3.2%), and stable–low (δ, 23.8%). …”
