Ann Lab Med 2024; 44:401-409. [PMID: 38469636 PMCID: PMC11169773 DOI: 10.3343/alm.2023.0345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Millions of patients undergo cardiac surgery each year. The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) could help predict the prognosis of patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass surgery. We investigated whether the RDW has robust predictive value for the 30-day mortality among patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) after undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods Using the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV Database, we retrieved data for 11,634 patients who underwent cardiac surgery in an ICU. We performed multivariate Cox regression analysis to model the association between the RDW and 30-day mortality and plotted Kaplan-Meier curves. Subgroup analyses were stratified using relevant covariates. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to determine the predictive value of the RDWs. Results The total 30-day mortality rate was 4.2% (485/11,502). The elevated-RDW group had a higher 30-day mortality rate than the normal-RDW group (P&0.001). The robustness of our data analysis was confirmed by performing subgroup analyses. Each unit increase in the RDW was associated with a 17% increase in 30-day mortality when the RDW was used as a continuous variable (adjusted hazard ratio=1.17, 95% confidence interval, 1.10-1.25). Our ROC results showed the predictive value of the RDW. Conclusions An elevated RDW was associated with a higher 30-day mortality in patients after undergoing cardiac surgery in an ICU setting. The RDW can serve as an efficient and accessible method for predicting the mortality of patients in ICUs following cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Background The relationship between hyperlactatemia and prognosis after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is controversial, and some studies ignore the presence of lactic acidosis in patients with severe hyperlactacemia. This study explored the association between lactic acidosis (LA) and the occurrence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) after cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods This study was a post hoc analysis of patients who underwent cardiac surgery between February 2017 and August 2018 and participated in a prospective study at Taizhou Hospital. The data were collected at: ICU admission (H0), and 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 h after admission. Blood lactate levels gradually increased after CPB, peaking at H8 and then gradually decreasing. The patients were grouped as LA, hyperlactatemia (HL), and normal control (NC) based on blood test results 8 h after ICU admission. Basic preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative conditions were compared between the three groups, as well as postoperative perfusion and oxygen metabolism indexes. Results There were 22 (19%), 73 (64%), and 19 (17%) patients in the LA, HL, and NC groups, respectively. APACHE II (24h) and SOFA (24h) scores were the highest in the LA group (P < 0.05). ICU stay duration was the longest for the LA group (48.5 (42.5, 50) h), compared with the HL (27 (22, 48) h) and NC (27 (25, 46) h) groups (P = 0.012). The LA group had the highest incidence of MODS (36%), compared with the HL (14%) and NC (5%) groups (P = 0.015). In the LA group, the oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER) was lower (21.5 (17.05, 32.8)%) than in the HL (31.3 (24.8, 37.6)%) and the NC group (31.3 (29.0, 35.4) %) (P = 0.018). In the univariable analyses, patient age (OR = 1.054, 95% CI [1.003-1.109], P = 0.038), the LA group (vs. the NC group, (OR = 10.286, 95% CI [1.148-92.185], P = 0.037), and ΔPCO2 at H8 (OR = 1.197, 95% CI [1.022-1.401], P = 0.025) were risk factor of MODS after CPB. Conclusions We speculated that there was correlation between lactic acidosis and MODS after CPB. In addition, LA should be monitored intensively after CPB.

Association between base excess and 28-day mortality in sepsis patients: A secondary analysis based on the MIMIC- IV database. Heliyon 2023; 9:e15990. [PMID: 37215834 PMCID: PMC10199177 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e15990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2022] [Revised: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective The relationship between base excess (BE) and 28-day death in sepsis patients remains to be elucidated. The aim of our clinical study is to explore the association of BE with 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis by using a large sample, multicenter Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Methods We extracted the data of 35,010 patients with sepsis from the MIMIC-IV database, in which we used BE as an exposure variable and the 28-day mortality as an outcome variable, respectively, so as to explore the impact of BE on the 28-day mortality of patients with sepsis after adjusting for covariates. Results BE and the 28-day mortality of patients with sepsis appeared to have a U-shaped relationship. The calculated inflection points were -2.5 mEq/L and 1.9 mEq/L, respectively. Our data demonstrated that BE was negatively associated with 28-day mortality in the range of -41.0 mEq/L to -2.5 mEq/L (odds ratio: 0.95; 95% confidence intervals (95%CI): 0.93 to 0.96), p < 0.0001. When BE was in the range of 1.9 mEq/L to 55.5 mEq/L, however, a positive association existed between BE and 28-day mortality of patients with sepsis (odds ratio: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.00 to 1.05; p < 0.05). Conclusion The BE levels have a U-shaped relationship with the 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis, in which the mortality of patients will gradually decrease with a BE value from -41.0 mEq/L to -2.5 mEq/L, while the mortality will increase with a BE value from 1.9 mEq/L to 55.5 mEq/L.

J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11206125. [PMID: 36294445 PMCID: PMC9604570 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11206125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 10/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Base excess (BE) and lactate concentration may predict mortality in critically ill patients. However, the predictive values of alactic BE (aBE; the sum of BE and lactate), or a combination of BE and lactate are unknown. The study aimed to investigate whether BE, lactate, and aBE measured on admission to ICU may predict the 28-day mortality for patients undergoing any form of shock. In 143 consecutive adults, arterial BE, lactate, and aBE were measured upon ICU admission. Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) characteristics and Cox proportional hazard regression models (adjusted to age, gender, forms of shock, and presence of severe renal failure) were then used to investigate any association between these parameters and 28-day mortality. aBE < −3.63 mmol/L was found to be associated with a hazard ratio of 3.19 (HR; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.62−6.27) for mortality. Risk of death was higher for BE < −9.5 mmol/L (HR: 4.22; 95% CI: 2.21−8.05), particularly at lactate concentrations > 4.5 mmol/L (HR: 4.62; 95% CI: 2.56−8.33). A 15.71% mortality rate was found for the combined condition of BE > cut-off and lactate < cut-off. When BE was below but lactate above their respective cut-offs, the mortality rate increased to 78.91%. The Cox regression model demonstrated that the predictive values of BE and lactate were mutually independent and additive. The 28-day mortality in shock patients admitted to ICU can be predicted by aBE, but BE and lactate deliver greater prognostic value, particularly when combined. The clinical value of our findings deserves further prospective evaluation.

Abstract
Introduction. Knowledge of local and regional antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is crucial in clinical decision-making, especially with critically ill patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the rate and pattern of infections in valvular heart disease patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at the Salam Centre for Cardiac Surgery in Khartoum, Sudan (run by EMERGENCY NGO). Methods. This is a retrospective, observational study from a single, large international referral centre (part of a Regional Programme), which enrolled patients admitted to the ICU between 1 January and 31 December 2019. Data collected for each patient included demographic data, operating theatre/ICU data and microbiological cultures. Results. Over the study period, 611 patients were enrolled (elective surgery n = 491, urgent surgery n = 34 and urgent medical care n = 86). The infection rate was 14.2% and turned out to be higher in medical than in surgical patients (25.6% vs. 12.4%; p = 0.002; OR = 2.43) and higher in those undergoing urgent surgery than those undergoing elective (29.4% vs. 11.2%; p = 0.004; OR = 3.3). Infection was related to (a) SOFA score (p < 0.001), (b) ICU length of stay (p < 0.001) and (c) days from ICU admission to OT (p = 0.003). A significant relationship between the type of admission (elective, urgent surgery or medical) and the presence of infections was found (p < 0.001). The mortality rate was higher among infected patients (infected vs. infection-free: 10.3% vs. 2.1%; p < 0.001; OR = 5.38; 95% CI: 2.16−13.4; p < 0.001). Conclusions. Hospital-acquired infections remain a relevant preventable cause of mortality in our particular population.

DeepBiomarker: Identifying Important Lab Tests from Electronic Medical Records for the Prediction of Suicide-Related Events among PTSD Patients. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12040524.

Abstract
Identifying patients with high risk of suicide is critical for suicide prevention. We examined lab tests together with medication use and diagnosis from electronic medical records (EMR) data for prediction of suicide-related events (SREs; suicidal ideations, attempts and deaths) in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients, a population with a high risk of suicide. We developed DeepBiomarker, a deep-learning model through augmenting the data, including lab tests, and integrating contribution analysis for key factor identification. We applied DeepBiomarker to analyze EMR data of 38,807 PTSD patients from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Our model predicted whether a patient would have an SRE within the following 3 months with an area under curve score of 0.930. Through contribution analysis, we identified important lab tests for suicide prediction. These identified factors imply that the regulation of the immune system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and gut microbiome were involved in shaping the pathophysiological pathways promoting depression and suicidal risks in PTSD patients. Our results showed that abnormal lab tests combined with medication use and diagnosis could facilitate predicting SRE risk. Moreover, this may imply beneficial effects for suicide prevention by treating comorbidities associated with these biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acidosis and higher lactate predict worse outcomes in cardiogenic shock (CS) patients. We sought to determine whether overall acidosis severity on admission predicted in-hospital mortality in CS patients. METHODS This retrospective descriptive analysis included CS patients admitted to a single academic tertiary cardiac intensive care unit from 2007 to 2015. Admission arterial pH, base excess, and anion gap values were used to generate a Composite Acidosis Score (range 0-5, with a score ≥2 defining Severe Acidosis). Adjusted in-hospital mortality was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS We included 1,065 patients with median age of 68.9 (59.0, 77.2) years (36.4% females). Concomitant diagnoses included cardiac arrest in 38.1% and acute coronary syndrome in 59.1%. Severe Acidosis was present in 35.2%, and these patients had worse shock and more organ failure. In-hospital mortality occurred in 34.1% and was higher among patients with Severe Acidosis (54.9% vs. 22.4%, adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.01, 95% CI 1.43-2.83, P < 0.001). Increasing Composite Acidosis Score was associated with higher in-hospital mortality (adjusted OR 1.25 per point, 95% CI 1.11-1.40, P < 0.001). Severe Acidosis was associated with higher hospital mortality at every level of shock severity and organ failure (all P < 0.05). Admission lactate level had equivalent discrimination for in-hospital mortality as the Composite Acidosis Score (0.69 vs. 0.66; P = 0.32 by De Long test). CONCLUSION Given its incremental association with higher in-hospital mortality among CS patients beyond shock severity and organ failure, we propose Severe Acidosis as a marker of hemometabolic shock. Lactate levels performed as well as a composite measure of acidosis for predicting mortality.

Abstract
Introduction As base excess had shown superiority over lactate as a prognostic parameter in intensive care unit (ICU) surgical patients we aimed to evaluate course of lactate, base excess and pH for prediction of mortality of medical ICU patients. Materials and methods For lactate, pH and base excess, values at the admission to ICU, at 24 ± 4 hours, maximum or minimum in the first 24 hours and in 24–48 hours after admission were collected from all patients admitted to the Medical ICU of the University Hospital Tübingen between January 2016 until December 2018 (N = 4067 at admission, N = 1715 with ICU treatment > 48 h) and investigated for prediction of in-hospital-mortality. Results Mortality was 22% and significantly correlated with all evaluated parameters. Strongest predictors of mortality determined by ROC were maximum lactate in 24 h (AUROC 0.74, cut off 2.7 mmol/L, hazard ratio of risk group with value > cut off 3.20) and minimum pH in 24 h (AUROC 0.71, cut off 7.31, hazard ratio for risk group 2.94). Kaplan Meier Curves stratified across these cut offs showed early and clear separation. Hazard ratios per standard deviation increase were highest for maximum lactate in 24 h (HR 1.65), minimum base excess in 24 h (HR 1.56) and minimum pH in 24 h (HR 0.75). Conclusion Lactate, pH and base excess were all suitable predictors of mortality in internal ICU patients, with maximum / minimum values in 24 and 24–48 h after admission altogether stronger predictors than values at admission. Base excess and pH were not superior to lactate for prediction of mortality.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:759826. [PMID: 34926611 PMCID: PMC8671605 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.759826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Cardiac surgery is associated with a substantial risk of major adverse events. Although carbon dioxide (CO2)-derived variables such as venous-to-arterial CO2 difference (ΔPCO2), and PCO2 gap to arterial–venous O2 content difference ratio (ΔPCO2/C(a−cv)O2) have been successfully used to predict the prognosis of non-cardiac surgery, their prognostic value after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains controversial. This hospital-based study explored the relationship between ΔPCO2, ΔPCO2/C(a−cv)O2 and organ dysfunction after CPB. Methods: We prospectively enrolled 114 intensive care unit patients after elective cardiac surgery with CPB. Patients were divided into the organ dysfunction group (OI) and non-organ dysfunction group (n-OI) depending on whether organ dysfunction occurred or not at 48 h after CPB. ΔPCO2 was defined as the difference between central venous and arterial CO2 partial pressure. Results: The OI group has 37 (32.5%) patients, 27 of which (23.7%) had one organ dysfunction and 10 (8.8%) had two or more organ dysfunctions. No statistical significance was found (P = 0.84) for ΔPCO2 in the n-OI group at intensive care unit (ICU) admission (9.0, 7.0–11.0 mmHg), and at 4 (9.0, 7.0–11.0 mmHg), 8 (9.0, 7.0–11.0 mmHg), and 12 h post admission (9.0, 7.0–11.0 mmHg). In the OI group, ΔPCO2 also showed the same trend [ICU admission (9.0, 8.0–12.8 mmHg) and 4 (10.0, 7.0–11.0 mmHg), 8 (10.0, 8.5–12.5 mmHg), and 12 h post admission (9.0, 7.3–11.0 mmHg), P = 0.37]. No statistical difference was found for ΔPCO2/C(a−cv)O2 in the n-OI group (P = 0.46) and OI group (P = 0.39). No difference was detected in ΔPCO2, ΔPCO2/C(a−cv)O2 between groups during the first 12 h after admission (P > 0.05). Subgroup analysis of the patients with two or more failing organs compared to the n-OI group showed that the predictive performance of lactate and Base excess (BE) improved, but not of ΔPCO2 and ΔPCO2/C(a−cv)O2. Regression analysis showed that the BE at 8 h after admission (odds ratio = 1.37, 95%CI: 1.08–1.74, P = 0.009) was a risk factor for organ dysfunction 48 h after CBP. Conclusion : ΔPCO2 and ΔPCO2/C(a−cv)O2 cannot be used as reliable indicators to predict the occurrence of organ dysfunction at 48 h after CBP due to the pathophysiological process that occurs after CBP.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) is associated with high mortality and morbidity despite advancements in cardiovascular care. AMI-CS is associated with multiorgan failure of non-cardiac organ systems. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequently seen in patients with AMI-CS and is associated with worse mortality and outcomes compared to those without. The pathogenesis of AMI-CS associated with AKI may involve more factors than previously understood. Early use of renal replacement therapies, management of comorbid conditions and judicious fluid administration may help improve outcomes. In this review, we seek to address the etiology, pathophysiology, management, and outcomes of AKI complicating AMI-CS.

[PMID: 33653281 PMCID: PMC7927380 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-021-01932-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2020] [Accepted: 02/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Organ malperfusion is a lethal complication in acute type B aortic dissection (ATBAD). The aim of present study is to develop a nomogram integrated with metabolic acidosis to predict in-hospital mortality and organ malperfusion in patients with ATBAD undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). METHODS The nomogram was derived from a retrospectively study of 286 ATBAD patients who underwent TEVAR from 2010 to 2017 at a single medical center. Model performance was evaluated from discrimination and calibration capacities, as well as clinical effectiveness. The results were validated using a prospective study on 77 patients from 2018 to 2019 at the same center. RESULTS In the multivariate analysis of the derivation cohort, the independent predictors of in-hospital mortality and organ malperfusion identified were base excess, maximum aortic diameter ≥ 5.5 cm, renal dysfunction, D-dimer level ≥ 5.44 μg/mL and albumin amount ≤ 30 g/L. The penalized model was internally validated by bootstrapping and showed excellent discriminatory (bias-corrected c-statistic, 0.85) and calibration capacities (Hosmer-Lemeshow P value, 0.471; Brier Score, 0.072; Calibration intercept, - 0.02; Slope, 0.98). After being applied to the external validation cohort, the model yielded a c-statistic of 0.86 and Brier Score of 0.097. The model had high negative predictive values (0.93-0.94) and moderate positive predictive values (0.60-0.71) for in-hospital mortality and organ malperfusion in both cohorts. CONCLUSIONS A predictive nomogram combined with base excess has been established that can be used to identify high risk ATBAD patients of developing in-hospital mortality or organ malperfusion when undergoing TEVAR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery is associated with metabolic changes after operation and results inter alia in increased levels of lactate and bilirubin. Since prediction of the course after operation has become very important for the management of an ICU and the patients themselves, we evaluated easily assessable markers (lactate and bilirubin), regarding their potential to predict mortality 90 days after surgery and the length of stay in ICU. METHODS All patients within a period of five years undergoing cardiac surgery were enrolled in the study. Among others peak levels of lactate and bilirubin within 48 hours after operation were recorded. A Cox proportional hazard model as well as a logistic regression model were used to predict mortality or rather length of stay in ICU. RESULTS Increased levels of bilirubin and lactate were associated with a significantly increase in mortality and length of stay in ICU (in a concentration-related manner). Interestingly, creatinine serum levels before operation showed a similar performance. CONCLUSIONS Three easily assessable and cheap laboratory parameters (bilirubin, lactate, and creatinine) are useful to predict 90-day mortality and length of stay in ICU. These findings might be helpful to give patients a reliable prediction about short and mid-term-survival and to improve the management of an ICU.

Prognostic role of perioperative acid-base disturbances on the risk of Clostridioides difficile infection in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0248512. [PMID: 33730090 PMCID: PMC7968627 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0248512] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2020] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether acid-base balance disturbances during the perioperative period may impact Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), which is the third most common major infection following cardiac surgery. We hypothesized that perioperative acid-base abnormalities including lactate disturbances may predict the probability of incidence of CDI in patients after cardiac procedures. METHODS Of the 12,235 analyzed patients following cardiac surgery, 143 (1.2%) developed CDI. The control group included 200 consecutive patients without diarrhea, who underwent cardiac procedure within the same period of observation. Pre-, intra and post-operative levels of blood gases, as well as lactate and glucose concentrations were determined. Postoperatively, arterial blood was drawn four times: immediately after surgery and successively; 4, 8 and 12 h following the procedure. RESULTS Baseline pH was lower and PaO2 was higher in CDI patients (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). Additionally, these patients had greater base deficiency at each of the analyzed time points (p < 0.001, p = 0.004, p = 0.012, p = 0.001, p = 0.016 and p = 0.001, respectively). Severe hyperlactatemia was also more common in CDI patients; during the cardiac procedure, 4 h and 12 h after surgery (p = 0.027, p = 0.004 and p = 0.001, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that independent risk factors for CDI following cardiac surgery were as follows: intraoperative severe hyperlactatemia (OR 2.387, 95% CI 1.155-4.933, p = 0.019), decreased lactate clearance between values immediately and 12 h after procedure (OR 0.996, 95% CI 0.994-0.999, p = 0.013), increased age (OR 1.045, 95% CI 1.020-1.070, p < 0.001), emergent surgery (OR 2.755, 95% CI 1.565-4.848, p < 0.001) and use of antibiotics other than periprocedural prophylaxis (OR 2.778, 95% CI 1.690-4.565, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION This study is the first to show that perioperative hyperlactatemia and decreased lactate clearance may be predictors for occurrence of CDI after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Aims The relationship between baseline base excess (BE) and survival outcomes in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate this relationship based on the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care III (MIMIC‐III) database (v1.4). Methods and results This retrospective cohort study included 5956 adult patients with CHF from the MIMIC‐III database from 2001 to 2012. Using the Cox proportional‐hazard analysis and Kaplan–Meier plot, we evaluated the relationship between baseline BE and all‐cause death at 1 year after admission to the intensive care unit. At the 1 year follow‐up, 2104 participants (35.3%) had died. There was an association between BE and all‐cause death (log‐rank test P < 0.0001). In the Cox regression model adjusted for demographic and clinical variables, the risk of all‐cause death in the first (BE ≤ −8), second (−8 < BE ≤ −3), fourth (2 < BE ≤ 7), and fifth (BE > 7) BE groups was significantly higher than that in the third BE group (−3 < BE ≤ 2) [hazard ratio (HR) 1.99, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.62–2.43, HR 1.40, 95% CI 1.23–1.60, HR 1.46, 95% CI 1.26–1.69, and HR 1.68, 95% 1.33–2.12, respectively]. Similar results were observed when BE was modelled as a continuous variable using a Cox regression model with a restricted cubic spline. Conclusions This study demonstrated the existence of a U‐shaped relationship between BE and survival outcome in patients with CHF. Both low and high BE increased the risk of all‐cause mortality.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Acidosis and hyperlactatemia predict outcome in critically ill patients. We assessed BE and pH for risk prediction capabilities in a sub-group of septic patients in the MIMIC-III database. METHODS Associations with mortality were assessed by logistic regression analysis in 5586 septic patients. Baseline parameters, lactate concentrations, pH, and BE were analyzed at baseline and after 6 hours. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We combined acidosis (defined as either BE ≤-6 and/or pH ≤7.3) and hyperlactatemia and split the cohort into three subgroups: low-risk (no acidosis and lactate <2.3 mmol/L; n = 2294), medium-risk (either acidosis or lactate >2.3 mmol/L; n = 2125) and high-risk (both acidosis and lactate >2.3 mmol/L; n = 1167). Mortality was 14%, 20% and 38% (p<0.001) in low-risk, medium-risk and high-risk patients, respectively. The predictiveness of this model (AUC 0.63 95%CI 0.61-0.65) was higher compared to acidosis (AUC 0.59 95%CI 0.57-0.61; p<0.001) and lactate >2.3 mmol/L (AUC 0.60 95%CI 0.58-0.62; p<0.001) alone. Hyperlactatemia alone was only moderately predictive for acidosis (AUC 0.60 95%CI 0.59-0.62). CONCLUSIONS Acidosis and hyperlactatemia can occur independently to a certain degree. Combining acidosis and hyperlactatemia in a model yielded higher predictiveness for ICU-mortality. Septic patients with acidosis should be treated even more aggressively in the future.

Prolonged use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation after extubation among patients in the intensive care unit following cardiac surgery: The predictors and its impact on patient outcome. Sci Rep 2019; 9:9539. [PMID: 31266972 PMCID: PMC6606632 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-45881-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2018] [Accepted: 06/11/2019] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
This retrospective, observational cohort study aimed to determine the independent risk factors and impact of prolonged non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) after extubation among patients in the intensive care unit following cardiac surgery. Patients who received prophylactic NIPPV after extubation were categorized into prolonged (NIPPV duration >3 days, n = 83) and non-prolonged groups (NIPPV duration ≤3 days, n = 105). The perioperative characteristics and hospital outcomes were recorded. The multivariate analyses identified the preoperative residual volume/total lung capacity (RV/TLC) ratio (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 1.10; 95% CI:1.01–1.19, p = 0.022) and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) with Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) stage 2–3, 48 h after surgery (AOR: 3.87; 95% CI:1.21–12.37, p = 0.023) as independent predictors of prolonged NIPPV. Patients with both RV/TLC ratio > 46.5% and KDIGO stage 2–3 showed a highly increased risk of prolonged NIPPV (HR 27.17, p = 0.010), which was in turn associated with higher risk of postoperative complications and prolonged ICU and hospital stays. Preoperative RV/TLC ratio and postoperative AKI could identify patients at higher risk for prolonged NIPPV associated with poor outcomes. These findings may allow early recognition of patients who are at a higher risk for prolonged NIPPV, and help refine the perioperative management and critical care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Invasive procedures such as cardiac surgery are associated with perioperative dysfunction of macrocirculation and/or microcirculation and organ failures. Maintenance or resuscitation of an adequate macrocirculation and/or microcirculation is thus crucial in patients after cardiac surgery. We investigated the prognostic power of early central venous-arterial carbon dioxide pressure difference (delta-pCO2) after cardiac surgery. METHODS Retrospective analysis of data from 1,019 cardiac surgery patients treated in the ICU of a tertiary medical care academic center. Clinical outcomes and laboratory measures including metabolic indices and calculated delta-pCO2 were assessed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated and sensitivity / specificity analysis was performed. Univariate and multivariate regression models were analyzed. RESULTS The area under the ROC curve for delta-pCO2 to predict ICU mortality was 0.72 (sensitivity 65% / specificity 76%) with an optimal delta-pCO2 cut-off value of 8.6 mmHg. In multivariate regression, delta-pCO2 was associated with increased ICU mortality (HR 3.72, 95%-CI 1.3-10.66, p = 0.02). After adjustment for typical confounders, delta-pCO2 remained as independent predictor of ICU mortality after cardiac surgery. CONCLUSIONS In a retrospective data analysis in a large sample of adult post cardiac surgery patients treated in the ICU, we observed that admission central venous-arterial delta-pCO2 independently predicts ICU mortality. Delta-pCO2 might thus contribute risk stratification in ICU patients after cardiac surgery.
