| dc.description.abstract | Introducción: COVID-19, se caracteriza por un espectro clínico heterogéneo. La interleucina-6 (IL-6) es la citocina clave en la fisiopatología, pero no todos los pacientes presentan elevación, lo que sugiere la existencia de otros fenotipos. Estratificar el rol de la IL-6 permitirá definir los fenotipos y orientar terapias personalizadas. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, analítico, transversal y retrospectivo en 100 pacientes con COVID-19 severo del Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati Martins (mayo - agosto 2020). Se clasificaron tres fenotipos basados en parámetros clínicos, radiológicos e inmunológicos. Se cuantificaron niveles séricos de IL-6 y se analizaron asociaciones con biomarcadores inflamatorios y mortalidad mediante pruebas estadísticas robustas y curva de ROC. Resultados: El fenotipo 1 presentó niveles elevados de IL-6 (275 pg/mL) en comparación con fenotipo 2 (13 pg/mL) y fenotipo 3 (39 pg/mL) (p < 0.001). IL-6 > 40 pg/mL se asoció a mayores niveles de neutrófilos (p = 0.019) y ferritina (p = 0.040), sin diferencias significativas para PCR y Dímero D. La mortalidad fue mayor en fenotipo 1 (60.9%), seguida de fenotipo 3 (29.17%) y fenotipo 2 (12.05%) (p < 0.001). El análisis ROC mostró AUC: 0.83 (IC 95%: 0.734–0.931) para IL-6 como predictor de mortalidad, con Youden: 22.31 pg/mL (sensibilidad 82.6%, especificidad 77.0%). Conclusiones: IL-6 constituye un biomarcador pronóstico y discriminador del fenotipo 1, caracterizado por perfil hiperinflamatorio y mayor mortalidad. Se asocia con elevacion de neutrofilos y ferritina, esto respalda la estratificación inmunológica como herramienta en la toma de decisiones y establece una base para investigaciones futuras. | spa |
| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: COVID-19 is characterized by a heterogeneous clinical spectrum. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a key cytokine in its pathophysiology; however, not all patients exhibit elevated levels, suggesting the existence of distinct phenotypes. Stratifying IL-6 expression may help define clinical phenotypes and optimize personalized therapies. Methods: We conducted an observational, analytical, cross-sectional, and retrospective study including 100 adults with severe COVID-19 admitted to the Internal Medicine Service at Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati Martins (May–August 2020). Patients were classified into three phenotypes according to clinical, radiological, and immunological parameters. Serum IL-6 concentrations were quantified, and associations with inflammatory biomarkers and mortality were analyzed using robust statistical tests and ROC curve analysis. Results: Phenotype 1 exhibited markedly elevated IL-6 levels (mean 275 pg/mL) compared with phenotype 2 (13 pg/mL) and phenotype 3 (39 pg/mL) (p < 0.001). IL-6 values > 40 pg/mL were associated with higher neutrophil counts (p = 0.019) and ferritin (p = 0.040), but not with CRP or D-dimer. Mortality was significantly higher in phenotype 1 (60.9%), followed by phenotype 3 (29.2%) and phenotype 2 (12.1%) (p < 0.001). ROC analysis for IL-6 predicting mortality showed an AUC of 0.83 (95% CI: 0.734–0.931), with an optimal Youden cutoff of 22.3 pg/mL (sensitivity 82.6%, specificity 77.0%). Conclusions: IL-6 is a robust prognostic biomarker and a discriminator of phenotype 1, characterized by a hyperinflammatory profile and higher mortality. Its association with neutrophils and ferritin supports immunological stratification as a valuable tool for clinical decision-making and provides a rationale for future multicenter validation studies. | eng |
