Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: The clinical data of 61 sepsis patients admitted to the department of intensive care medicine, Weinan Central Hospital from June 2009 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with anti-infection, control of infection sources, organ function support, nutrition enhancement and supportive treatment. On the basis of routine treatment, observation group was given 100 mg of testosterone propionate injection for deep intramuscular injection twice a week (twice in total), and control group was not given testosterone propionate injection. The general information and laboratory indexes before treatment were observed, and the testosterone, albumin, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score after treatment, intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization time, total hospitalization cost, mechanical ventilation time, 28-day all-cause mortality and other indicators of the patients in two groups were compared. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the two groups in gender, age and other baseline data and laboratory indexes before treatment. After treatment, in observation group the testosterone (μg/L: 3.69±2.38 vs. 2.85±0.90) and albumin (g/L: 39.87±1.98 vs. 26.25±4.13) were significantly higher than those in control group. Total hospitalization expenses (ten thousand Yuan: 10.14±3.22 vs. 12.10±3.91), APACHE II (13.71±2.13 vs. 23.23±2.52), SOFA (4.45±1.57 vs. 9.97±2.65), ICU hospitalization time (days: 12.36±4.37 vs. 14.03±3.86) and mechanical ventilation time (days: 3.00±1.85 vs. 7.00±2.50) were significantly lower than those in control group (all P < 0.05), and the difference in 28-day all-cause mortality of two groups was not significant [3.2% (1/31) vs. 13.3% (4/30), P > 0.05].
