Neutrophil elastase plays an important role in the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in sepsis. Sivelestat is a selective neutrophil elastase inhibitor. It is possible that sivelestat improves the outcome of septic patients associated with ARDS and DIC. A retrospective data analysis of septic patients associated with ARDS and DIC was conducted to investigate the effects of sivelestat. Observational period was 5 days after admission to intensive care unit (ICU). The study included 167 septic patients associated with ARDS and DIC. Control group included 133 patients without sivelestat, and sivelestat group included 34 patients started to deadministered sivelestat on the admission to ICU. The lung injury scores and Pa(O2)/Fl(O2) ratio of the sivelestat group were significantly more severe than those of the control group from days 1 to 4. On day 5, the lung injury score and Pa(O2)/Fl(O2) ratio of the sivelestat group improved to the same levels of those of the control group. The DIC score of sivelestat group improved on day 3 in comparison to day 1, and those of control group remained unchanged until day 4. The length of ICU stay of the sivelestat group was significantly shorter than that of the control group. A stepwise multiple logistic-regression analysis showed the sivelestat administration to be an independent predictor of survival of the septic patients associated with both ARDS and DIC. The length of ICU stay of the sivelestat group was significantly shorter than that of the control group. In addition, sivelestat administration was found to be an independent predictor of survival of those patients.
