ABSTRACT: Background and objectives
Propofol has been shown to provide protection against renal ischemia/reperfusion injury experimentally, but clinical evidence is limited to patients undergoing cardiac surgery. There are no data about its association with oliguria and AKI in critically ill patients.Design, setting, participants, & measurements
We obtained data from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care II database (2001-2008). Patient selection criteria included adult patients in their first intensive care unit (ICU) admission, need for mechanical ventilation, and treatment with propofol or midazolam. Propensity score analysis (1:1) was used and renal-related outcomes (AKI, oliguria, cumulative fluid balance, and need for RRT) were evaluated during the first 7 days of ICU stay.Results
There were 1396 propofol/midazolam-matched patients. AKI in the first 7-day ICU time period was statistically lower in propofol-treated patients compared with midazolam-treated patients (55.0% versus 67.3%, P<0.001). Propofol was associated with lower AKI incidence using both urine output (45.0% versus 55.7%, P<0.001) and serum creatinine criteria (28.8% versus 37.2%, P=0.001). Patients receiving propofol had oliguria (<400 ml/d) less frequently (12.4% versus 19.6%, P=0.001) and had diuretics prescribed less often (8.5% versus 14.3%, P=0.001). In addition, during the first 7 days of ICU stay, patients receiving propofol less frequently achieved cumulative fluid balance >5% of body weight (50.1% versus 58.3%, P=0.01). The need for RRT in the first 7 days of ICU stay was also less frequent in propofol-treated patients (3.4% versus 5.9%, P=0.03). ICU mortality was lower in propofol-treated patients (14.6% versus 29.7%, P<0.001).Conclusions
In this large, propensity-matched ICU population, patients treated with propofol had a lower risk of AKI, fluid-related complications, and need for RRT.
