Mortality prediction in patients with severe septic shock: a pilot study using a target metabolomics approach.

ABSTRACT: Septic shock remains a major problem in Intensive Care Unit, with high lethality and high-risk second lines treatments. In this preliminary retrospective investigation we examined plasma metabolome and clinical features in a subset of 20 patients with severe septic shock (SOFA score >8), enrolled in the multicenter Albumin Italian Outcome Sepsis study (ALBIOS, NCT00707122). Our purpose was to evaluate the changes of circulating metabolites in relation to mortality as a pilot study to be extended in a larger cohort. Patients were analyzed according to their 28-days and 90-days mortality. Metabolites were measured using a targeted mass spectrometry-based quantitative metabolomic approach that included acylcarnitines, aminoacids, biogenic amines, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and sugars. Data-mining techniques were applied to evaluate the association of metabolites with mortality. Low unsaturated long-chain phosphatidylcholines and lysophosphatidylcholines species were associated with long-term survival (90-days) together with circulating kynurenine. Moreover, a decrease of these glycerophospholipids was associated to the event at 28-days and 90-days in combination with clinical variables such as cardiovascular SOFA score (28-day mortality model) or renal replacement therapy (90-day mortality model). Early changes in the plasma levels of both lipid species and kynurenine associated with mortality have potential implications for early intervention and discovering new target therapy.

Project description:ObjectivesTo assess the prevalence of immunocompromised diagnoses among children with severe sepsis and septic shock, and to determine the association between immunocompromised diagnoses and clinical outcomes after adjustment for demographics and illness severity.DesignRetrospective multicenter cohort study.SettingEighty-three centers in the Virtual Pediatric Systems database.PatientsChildren with severe sepsis or septic shock admitted to a participating PICU between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2016.InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsAcross 83 centers, we identified 10,768 PICU admissions with an International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification code for severe sepsis or septic shock; 3,021 of these patients (28%) had an immunocompromised diagnosis. To evaluate variation across centers and determine factors associated with PICU mortality, we used mixed-effect logistic regression models. Among patients without hematopoietic cell transplant, congenital immunodeficiency (adjusted odds ratio, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.24-2.92), multiple prior malignancies (adjusted odds ratio, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.15-2.99), and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (adjusted odds ratio, 3.09; 95% CI, 1.91-4.98) were associated with an increased odds of PICU mortality. Among patients with prior hematopoietic cell transplant, liquid malignancy (adjusted odds ratio, 3.15; 95% CI, 2.09-4.74), congenital immunodeficiency (adjusted odds ratio, 6.94; 95% CI, 3.84-12.53), multiple prior malignancies (adjusted odds ratio, 3.54; 95% CI, 1.80-6.95), and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (adjusted odds ratio, 2.79; 95% CI, 1.36-5.71) were associated with an increased odds of PICU mortality. PICU mortality varied significantly by center, and a higher mean number of sepsis patients per month in a center was associated with lower PICU mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.90-0.98). PICU resource utilization varied by immunocompromised diagnosis and history of hematopoietic cell transplant, and among survivors immunocompromised patients have shorter median PICU length of stay compared with patients without immunocompromised diagnoses (p < 0.001).ConclusionsImmunocompromised diagnoses are present in 28% of children with severe sepsis or septic shock. Multiple prior malignancies, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, congenital immunodeficiency, and hematopoietic cell transplant are independently associated with an increased odds of PICU mortality in children with severe sepsis or septic shock. Significant variation exists in PICU mortality among centers despite adjustment for immunocompromised diagnoses, known risk factors for sepsis-related mortality, and center-level sepsis volume.
