Résumé
Chest trauma causes substantial morbidity and mortality and its severity is assessed using clinical diagnosis or scoring systems like Injury severity score (ISS) and thoracic trauma severity score (TTSS). Association of inflammatory cytokines with severity of disease and final clinical outcome is not clearly defined in patients with chest trauma. In this study, we thought to evaluate the inflammatory response in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in chest trauma patients and correlate the level of extracellular cytokines with diseases severity and final outcome. A total of 65 patients with blunt chest trauma and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in this prospective observational study. Assessment of inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin (s) - IL-5, IL-13, IL-2, IL-6, IL-9, IL-1β, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-17A, IL-17F,IL-4, IL-21 and IL-22 was performed in both serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid using 13-plex multiplex kit using fluorescence-encoded bead based immunoassays. A significantly higher level of IL-13, IL-2, IL-6, IL-9, IL-1β, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21 and IL-22 cytokines were observed in patients with blunt chest trauma compared to healthy controls. Level of IL-2, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-17A was significantly raised in the patients with blunt chest trauma who had a fatal outcome during the hospital stay. An elevated cytokine response of IL-13, IL-4, and IL-21 was noted in the group of patients with high (>5) thoracic trauma severity score. Routine monitoring of the inflammatory cytokine level in patients with chest trauma may be used routinely. Longer prospective studies should be encouraged to determine the role of cytokines in patients with chest trauma in predicting the patient final clinical outcome.

BACKGROUND
Chest trauma causes substantial morbidity and mortality and its severity is assessed using clinical diagnosis or scoring systems like Injury severity score (ISS) and thoracic trauma severity score (TTSS). Association of inflammatory cytokines with severity of disease and final clinical outcome is not clearly defined in patients with chest trauma. In this study, we thought to evaluate the inflammatory response in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in chest trauma patients and correlate the level of extracellular cytokines with diseases severity and final outcome.
METHODS
A total of 65 patients with blunt chest trauma and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in this prospective observational study. Assessment of inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin (s) - IL-5, IL-13, IL-2, IL-6, IL-9, IL-1β, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-17A, IL-17F,IL-4, IL-21 and IL-22 was performed in both serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid using 13-plex multiplex kit using fluorescence-encoded bead based immunoassays.
RESULTS
A significantly higher level of IL-13, IL-2, IL-6, IL-9, IL-1β, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21 and IL-22 cytokines were observed in patients with blunt chest trauma compared to healthy controls. Level of IL-2, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-17A was significantly raised in the patients with blunt chest trauma who had a fatal outcome during the hospital stay. An elevated cytokine response of IL-13, IL-4, and IL-21 was noted in the group of patients with high (>5) thoracic trauma severity score.
CONCLUSION
Routine monitoring of the inflammatory cytokine level in patients with chest trauma may be used routinely. Longer prospective studies should be encouraged to determine the role of cytokines in patients with chest trauma in predicting the patient final clinical outcome.
