Use:

/*/ITEM[starts-with(REVENUE_YEAR,'2552')]/REGION

Note: Unless your host language can't handle element instance as result, do not use text nodes specially in mixed content data model. Do not start expressions with // operator when the schema is well known.


Use:

//REVENUE_YEAR[starts-with(.,'2552')]/../REGION/text() 

Try this

//ITEM/*[starts-with(text(),'2552')]/following-sibling::*
