This study evaluated endothelial cell-specific molecule1 (endocan), von Willebrand factor (vWF), and A disintegrin-like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motif (ADAMTS-13), alone or in combination, in the risk stratification and prognosis prediction of patients with sepsis. Clinical data of 301 patients were prospectively analyzed, and divided into systemic inflammatory reaction syndrome, sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock groups. A total of 40 healthy individuals were studied as the control group. Endocan, vWF, ADAMTS-13, vWF/ADAMTS-13, and procalcitonin levels were measured, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) score, Mortality in Emergency Department Sepsis (MEDS) score as well as Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score were calculated. The all-cause death or survival of each patient was recorded during the 28-day follow-up. The endocan, vWF, and vWF/ADAMTS-13 levels significantly increased in patients and were positively correlated with disease severity. On the first day of admission, MEDS score, ADAMTS-13, and vWF/AMAMTS-13 ratio were independent predictors for 28-day mortality from sepsis. Moreover, the combination of vWF/ADAMTS-13 ratio with MEDS score improved the accuracy in predicting the 28-day mortality from sepsis. On day 5, endocan, vWF, ADAMTS-13, and vWF/ADAMTS-13 ratio were independent predictors for the 28-day mortality from sepsis, while the combined use of endocan and vWF/ADAMTS-13 ratio improved the prognostic value of individual indicators. Endocan, vWF, ADAMTS-13, and vWF/ADAMTS-13 ratio are valuable in the risk stratification and prognostic evaluation of sepsis as novel biomarkers.
