Prognostic Value of Soluble Suppression of Tumorigenicity 2 in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Previous studies have controversial results about the prognostic role of soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, we conduct this meta-analysis to access the association between sST2 and all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, and CVD events in patients with CKD.

Methods

The publication studies on the association of sST2 with all-cause mortality, CVD mortality, and CVD events from PubMed and Embase were searched through August 2020. We pooled the hazard ratio (HR) comparing high versus low levels of sST2 and subgroup analysis based on treatment, continent, and diabetes mellitus (DM) proportion, and sample size was also performed.

Results

There were 15 eligible studies with 11,063 CKD patients that were included in our meta-analysis. Elevated level of sST2 was associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR 2.05; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.51-2.78), CVD mortality (HR 1.68; 95% CI, 1.35-2.09), total CVD events (HR 1.88; 95% CI, 1.26-2.80), and HF (HR 1.35; 95% CI, 1.11-1.64). Subgroup analysis based on continent, DM percentage, and sample size showed that these factors did not influence the prognostic role of sST2 levels to all-cause mortality.

Conclusions

Our results show that high levels of sST2 could predict the all-cause mortality, CVD mortality, and CVD events in CKD patients.

Project description:ObjectivesSoluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 is a biomarker of myocardial strain and inflammation. The characteristics of acute respiratory distress syndrome include inflammation and cardiovascular dysfunction. We sought to determine whether plasma soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 concentration is associated with outcome and response to conservative fluid management and whether soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 concentration discriminates acute respiratory distress syndrome from decompensated heart failure.DesignA retrospective analysis of the Fluid and Catheter Treatment Trial, a multi-center randomized controlled trial of conservative fluid management in the acute respiratory distress syndrome, as well as of a cohort of patients with decompensated heart failure.SettingTwenty acute care hospitals.PatientsEight hundred twenty-six patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and 209 patients with acutely decompensated heart failure.Measurements and main resultsNonsurvivors had higher day 0 (p < 0.0001) and day 3 (p < 0.0001) soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 concentrations. After adjustment for severity of illness, higher soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 concentration was associated with mortality, with odds ratioadj 1.47 (95% CI, 0.99-2.20; p = 0.06) at day 0, 2.94 (95% CI, 2.00-4.33; p < 0.0001) at day 3, and 3.63 (95% CI, 2.38-5.53; p < 0.0001) if soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 increased between days. Cumulative fluid balance was more positive among patients with higher day 0 (median, 5,212 mL [interquartile range, 200-12,284 mL] vs median, 2,020 mL [interquartile range, -2,034 to 7,091 mL]; p < 0.0001) and day 3 soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (median, 7,678 mL [interquartile range, 2,217-14,278 mL] vs median, 1,492 mL [interquartile range, -2,384 to 6,239 mL]; p < 0.0001). Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 showed excellent discriminative ability between the Fluid and Catheter Treatment Trial and heart failure populations (area under receiver-operating characteristic curve = 0.98; p < 0.0001).ConclusionsHigher soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 concentrations are associated with worse outcome in acute respiratory distress syndrome and may have value for discriminating acute respiratory distress syndrome from heart failure.

Project description:BackgroundBoth nighttime systolic blood pressure and pulse rate are associated with adverse outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, nighttime double product (DP), which is the product of nighttime systolic blood pressure and pulse rate, has not yet been investigated in this context. The present study aimed to explore the prognostic value of nighttime DP for adverse outcomes in patients with CKD and hypertension.Methods and resultsThis retrospective cohort study included a total of 1434 patients with nondialysis CKD complicated by hypertension. The patients were enrolled in Zhuhai and Guangzhou, China, with a median follow-up of 23.8 months. Patient enrollment for the high or low nighttime DP group was performed on the basis of the cutoff value determined by time-dependent receiver operator characteristic curve analysis. The primary end point was a composite of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, and the secondary end point was all-cause death and composite renal end point. The 24-hour circadian DP rhythm was established via multiple-component cosinor analysis. Cox regression was used to explore the association between nighttime DP and adverse outcomes. The DP of nondialysis patients with CKD and hypertension showed a diurnal rhythm, which varied with renal function. After adjustment, high nighttime DP was associated with a higher risk for major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (hazard ratio [HR], 5.823 [95% CI, 2.382-14.233]), all-cause death (HR, 4.978 [95% CI, 2.205-11.240]), and composite renal event (HR, 1.661 [95% CI, 1.128-2.447]), compared with low nighttime DP. These associations were independent of nighttime systolic blood pressure and PR.ConclusionsThe present cohort study demonstrated that DP had diurnal fluctuations and nighttime DP was an important prognostic factor in nondialysis patients with CKD and hypertension, outperforming traditional risk factors, including systolic blood pressure and pulse rate.

Project description:ObjectivesWe hypothesize that elevated soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 concentrations, a marker of pulmonary epithelial injury, reflect ongoing lung injury in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to coronavirus disease 2019 and associate with continued ventilator dependence.DesignWe associated serial plasma soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 levels and markers of systemic inflammation including d-dimer, C-reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate with 30-day mortality and ventilator dependence.SettingAdult medical ICUs and general medicine wards at an academic teaching hospital in Boston, MA.PatientsAdult patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and acute hypoxemic respiratory failure admitted to the ICU (n = 72) and non-ICU patients managed with supplemental oxygen (n = 77).InterventionsObservational study from April 25 to June 25, 2020.Measurements and main resultsICU patients had a higher baseline body mass index and median soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2, d-dimer, and C-reactive protein concentrations compared with non-ICU patients. Among ICU patients, elevated baseline modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score and log (soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2) were associated with 30-day mortality, whereas initial Pao2/Fio2 and markers of systemic inflammation were similar between groups. Only log (soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2) associated with ventilator dependence over time, with the last measured log (soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2) concentration obtained on ICU day 11.5 (interquartile range [7-17]) higher in patients who required reintubation or tracheostomy placement compared with patients who were successfully extubated (2.10 [1.89-2.26] vs 1.87 ng/mL [1.72-2.13 ng/mL]; p = 0.03). Last measured systemic inflammatory markers, modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, and Pao2/Fio2 were not different between patients who were successfully extubated compared with those with continued ventilator dependence.ConclusionsPlasma soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 is a biomarker readily measured in blood that can provide dynamic information about the degree of a patient's lung injury and real-time assessment of the likelihood of extubation success. Measures of systemic inflammation, illness severity, and oxygenation did not associate with ventilator outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundIndividuals suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently face a heightened likelihood of experiencing cardiovascular complications, including heart failure and cardiac mortality. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) is utilized to assess the micro-contraction function of the myocardium. The objective of this research is to explore the relationship between the left ventricular anatomy, myocardial strain, and the clinical outcomes in patients with CKD.MethodsA total of 77 patients with late-stage CKD were enrolled in this retrospective study. They underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and were followed up, with no history of significant cardiac diseases. The patients were divided into two groups: those with a left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) ≥ -15.2% (n = 49) and those with LVGLS < -15.2% (n = 28). The clinical endpoints were defined as hospitalization for heart failure or all-cause mortality.ResultsOver an average observation period of 22 ± 9 months, 11 (14%) patients passed away and 30 (39%) were admitted to the hospital for heart failure, with eight encountering both incidents. Those with LVGLS ≥ -15.2% had markedly lower rates of event-free survival concerning heart failure admissions and overall mortality than their counterparts (log-rank P = 0.014). Cox multivariable analysis indicated that reduced LVGLS consistently predicted a higher likelihood of combined outcomes of heart failure admissions and total mortality (HR: 3.40, 95% CI [1.35-8.56], P = 0.009), even when factoring in age, diabetes, left atrial diameter, and left ventricular mass index (LVMI). However, the LVMI showed no significant correlation with the risk of heart failure admissions or overall mortality.ConclusionCompared to patients with LVGLS < -15.2%, CKD patients with LVGLS ≥ -15.2% have an increased risk of heart failure hospitalization and all-cause mortality. The prognostic role of LVMI in assessing CKD patients among the Asian population requires further investigation.
