Correlation analysis of serum HE4, β2‑MG, and sICAM‑1 levels with the severity and prognosis of elderly patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia
To investigate the correlation between serum human epididymal protein 4 (HE4)
β2‑microglobulin (β2‑MG)
and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule‑1 (sICAM‑1) and the severity and prognosis of elderly patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Methods
2
A total of 98 elderly BPH patients who underwent surgery at Zhangjiakou First Hospital from January 2022 to October 2023 were enrolled
along with 106 age⁃matched healthy male controls. Serum HE4 and sICAM‑1 levels were measured by ELISA
and β2⁃MG levels were determined using an automatic biochemical analyzer. Disease severity was classified as mild (
n
=7)
moderate (
n
=51)
or severe (
n
=40). Based on prognosis
patients were grouped into good (
n
=68) and poor (
n
=30) prognosis groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between serum HE4
β2⁃MG
and sICAM⁃1 levels and BPH severity. ROC curves were constructed to evaluate the predictive value of these biomarkers for poor prognosis. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify independent risk factors for poor prognosis in elderly BPH patients.
Results
2
Compared with those in the control group
the serum levels of HE4
β2‑MG
and sICAM‑1 in the BPH group were higher (
P
<
0.05). Compared with those in the mild group
the serum expressions of HE4
β2‑MG
and sICAM‑1 in the moderate and severe groups were higher (
P
<
0.05). Compared with those in the moderate group
the serum expressions of HE4
β2‑MG
and sICAM‑1 in the
severe group were higher (
P
<
0.05). The serum levels of HE4
β2‑MG and sICAM‑1 were positively correlated with the severity of the disease (
P
<
0.05). There were no great differences in operation time
preoperative catheter and postoperative catheter retention time
smoking history
age
6‑month postoperative IPSS score
BMI
drinking history
and prostate volume between the poor prognosis group and the good prognosis group (
P
>
0.05). Compared with those in the good prognosis group
the serum expressions of HE4
β2‑MG
and sICAM‑1 in the poor prognosis group were higher (
P
<
0.05). HE4
β2‑MG
and sICAM‑1 were risk factors for poor prognosis in elderly patients with BPH (
P
<
0.05). The
AUC
of serum HE4
β2‑MG
sICAM‑1
and their combination in predicting poor prognosis was 0.832
0.869
0.820
and 0.939
respectively
and the
AUC
of the three indices combined was better than the
AUC
predicted separately (
Z
=2.919
2.922
and 2.575;
P
=0.004
0.003
and 0.010).
Conclusion
2
Serum levels of HE4
β2‑MG and sICAM‑1 are elevated in elderly patients with BPH. The three indices are positively correlated with the severity of the disease and have certain predictive value for prognosis.
