Development and validation of a nomogram to predict the mortality risk in elderly patients with ARF.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a life-threatening complication in elderly patients. We developed a nomogram model to explore the risk factors of prognosis and the short-term mortality in elderly patients with ARF.

Methods

A total of 759 patients from MIMIC-III database were categorized into the training set and 673 patients from our hospital were categorized into the validation set. Demographical, laboratory variables, SOFA score and APS-III score were collected within the first 24 h after the ICU admission. A 30-day follow-up was performed for all patients.

Results

Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the heart rate, respiratoryrate, systolic pressure, SPO2, albumin and 24 h urine output were independent prognostic factors for 30-day mortality in ARF patients. A nomogram was established based on above independent prognostic factors. This nomogram had a C-index of 0.741 (95% CI [0.7058-0.7766]), and the C-index was 0.687 (95% CI [0.6458-0.7272]) in the validation set. The calibration curves both in training and validation set were close to the ideal model. The SOFA had a C-index of 0.653 and the APS-III had a C-index of 0.707 in predicting 30-day mortality.

Conclusion

Our nomogram performed better than APS-III and SOFA scores and should be useful as decision support on the prediction of mortality risk in elderly patients with ARF.
