Peripheral perfusion index predicting prolonged ICU stay earlier and better than lactate in surgical patients: an observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Peripheral perfusion index (PPI) is an indicator reflecting perfusion. Patients undergoing long time surgeries are more prone to hypoperfusion and increased lactate. Few studies focusing on investigating the association between PPI and surgical patients' prognoses. We performed this study to find it out.

Methods

From January 2019 to September 2019, we retrospected all surgical patients who were transferred to ICU, Xinyang Central hospital, Henan province, China. Inclusive criteria: age???18?years old; surgical length???120?min. Exclusive criteria: died in ICU; discharging against medical advice; existing diseases affecting blood flow of upper limbs, for example, vascular thrombus in arms; severe liver dysfunction. We defined "prolonged ICU stay" as patients with their length of ICU stay longer than 48?h. According to the definition, patients were divided into two groups: "prolonged group" (PG) and "non-prolong group" (nPG). Baseline characteristics, surgical and therapeutic information, ICU LOS, SOFA and APACHE II were collected. Besides we gathered data of following parameters at 3 time points (T0: ICU admission; T1: 6?h after admission; T2: 12?h after admission): mean artery pressure (MAP), lactate, heart rate (HR), PPI and body temperature. Data were compared between the 2 groups. Multivariable binary logistic regression and ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curves were performed to find the association between perfusion indictors and ICU LOS.

Results

Eventually, 168 patients were included, 65 in PG and 103 in nPG. Compared to nPG, patients in PG had higher blood lactate and lower PPI. PPI showed significant difference between two groups earlier than lactate (T₀ vs T₁). The value of PPI at two time points was lower in PG than nPG(T0: 1.09?±?0.33 vs 1.41?±?0.45, p?= 0.001; T1: 1.08?±?0.37 vs 1.49?±?0.41, p?< 0.001). Increased lactate_T1(OR 3.216; 95% CI 1.253-8.254, P?= 0.015) and decreased PPI_T1 (OR 0.070; 95% CI 0.016-0.307, P T1 for predicting ICU stay>?48?h was 0.772, and the cutoff value for PPI_T1 was 1.35, with 83.3% sensitivity and 73.8% specificity.

Conclusions

PPI and blood lactate at T₁(6 h after ICU admission) are associated with ICU LOS in surgical patient. Compared to lactate, PPI indicates hypoperfusion earlier and more accurate in predicting prolonged ICU stay.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:Early prediction of undesired outcomes among newly hospitalized patients could improve patient triage and prompt conversations about patients' goals of care. We evaluated the performance of logistic regression, gradient boosting machine, random forest, and elastic net regression models, with and without unstructured clinical text data, to predict a binary composite outcome of in-hospital death or ICU length of stay greater than or equal to 7 days using data from the first 48 hours of hospitalization. DESIGN:Retrospective cohort study with split sampling for model training and testing. SETTING:A single urban academic hospital. PATIENTS:All hospitalized patients who required ICU care at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA, from 2001 to 2012. INTERVENTIONS:None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:Among eligible 25,947 hospital admissions, we observed 5,504 (21.2%) in which patients died or had ICU length of stay greater than or equal to 7 days. The gradient boosting machine model had the highest discrimination without (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.81-0.84) and with (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.88-0.90) text-derived variables. Both gradient boosting machines and random forests outperformed logistic regression without text data (p < 0.001), whereas all models outperformed logistic regression with text data (p < 0.02). The inclusion of text data increased the discrimination of all four model types (p < 0.001). Among those models using text data, the increasing presence of terms "intubated" and "poor prognosis" were positively associated with mortality and ICU length of stay, whereas the term "extubated" was inversely associated with them. CONCLUSIONS:Variables extracted from unstructured clinical text from the first 48 hours of hospital admission using natural language processing techniques significantly improved the abilities of logistic regression and other machine learning models to predict which patients died or had long ICU stays. Learning health systems may adapt such models using open-source approaches to capture local variation in care patterns.

Project description:ObjectiveIn an era of increasingly expensive intensive care costs, it is essential to evaluate early whether the length of stay (LOS) in the intensive care unit (ICU) of obesity patients with sepsis will be prolonged. On the one hand, it can reduce costs; on the other hand, it can reduce nosocomial infection. Therefore, this study aimed to verify whether ICU prolonged LOS was significantly associated with poor prognosis poor in obesity patients with sepsis and develop a simple prediction model to personalize the risk of ICU prolonged LOS for obesity patients with sepsis.MethodIn total, 14,483 patients from the eICU Collaborative Research Database were randomized to the training set (3,606 patients) and validation set (1,600 patients). The potential predictors of ICU prolonged LOS among various factors were identified using logistic regression analysis. For internal and external validation, a nomogram was developed and performed.ResultsICU prolonged LOS was defined as the third quartile of ICU LOS or more for all sepsis patients and demonstrated to be significantly associated with the mortality in ICU by logistic regression analysis. When entering the ICU, seven independent risk factors were identified: maximum white blood cell, minimum white blood cell, use of ventilation, Glasgow Coma Scale, minimum albumin, maximum respiratory rate, and minimum red blood cell distribution width. In the internal validation set, the area under the curve was 0.73, while in the external validation set, it was 0.78. The calibration curves showed that this model predicted probability due to actually observed probability. Furthermore, the decision curve analysis and clinical impact curve showed that the nomogram had a high clinical net benefit.ConclusionIn obesity patients with sepsis, we created a novel nomogram to predict the risk of ICU prolonged LOS. This prediction model is accurate and reliable, and it can assist patients and clinicians in determining prognosis and making clinical decisions.
