Impaired neutrophil migration in sepsis is associated with a poor prognosis. The potential of utilizing neutrophil chemotaxis to assess immune function, disease severity, and patient prognosis in sepsis remains underexplored. This study employed an innovative approach by integrating a multi-tip pipette with a Six-Unit microfluidic chip (SU6-chip) to establish gradients in six microchannels, thereby analyzing neutrophil chemotaxis in sepsis patients. We compared chemotactic parameters between healthy controls (NH = 20) and sepsis patients (NS1 = 25), observing significant differences in gradient perception time (GP), migration distance (MD), peak velocity (Vmax), chemotactic index (CI), reverse migration rate (RM), and stop migration number (SM). A novel composite indicator, the Sepsis Neutrophil Migration Evaluation (SNME) index, was developed by integrating these six chemotactic migration parameters. The SNME index and individual chemotaxis parameters showed significant correlations with the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) score, hypersensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and heparin-binding protein (HBP). Moreover, the SNME index demonstrated potential for monitoring sepsis progression, with ROC analysis confirming its predictive accuracy (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.895, cutoff value = 31.5, specificity = 86.73 %, sensitivity = 86.71 %), outperforming individual neutrophil chemotactic parameters. In conclusion, the SNME index represents a promising new tool for adjunctive diagnosis and prognosis assessment in patients with sepsis.
