The Effect of Loop Diuretics on 28-Day Mortality in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Background: Diuretics have been widely used in critically ill patients while it remains uncertain whether they can reduce mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This study aimed to investigate the associations between diuretics and 28-day mortality in patients with ARDS. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of the ARDS Network Fluid and Catheter Treatment Trial (FACTT) of National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Those patients who did not receive renal replacement therapy within the first 48 h after enrollment in the FACTT were included in the analysis. A marginal structural Cox model (MSCM) was used to investigate the associations between diuretics and 28-day mortality after correction of both the baseline and time-varying variables. The latent class analysis (LCA) and subgroup analysis were performed to identify the kind of patients that could be benefited from diuretics. Results: A total of 932 patients were enrolled, i.e., 558 patients in the diuretics group and 374 patients in the no diuretics group within the first 48 h. The 28-day mortality was lower in the diuretics group (15.1 vs. 28.1%, p < 0.001). In MSCM, diuretics use was related to the improved 28-day mortality (HR 0.78; 95% CI 0.62-0.99; p = 0.04). LCA identified three subtypes, and diuretics were associated with reduced mortality in subtype 3, which was characterized by worse renal function and higher central venous pressure (CVP). A subgroup analysis indicated survival advantage among the female patients, sepsis induced ARDS, and those with the ratio of partial pressure of oxygen to the fractional concentration of inspired oxygen (PaO₂/FiO₂) ≤ 150 mmHg, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥ 65 mmHg. Conclusion: Loop diuretics were associated with the reduced 28-day mortality in the patients with ARDS, after controlling for time-varying confounders. Randomized trials are required to verify the association.

Project description:BackgroundThe mortality rate of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) increases with age (≥ 65 years old) in critically ill patients, and it is necessary to prevent mortality in elderly patients with ARDS in the intensive care unit (ICU). Among the potential risk factors, dynamic subphenotypes of respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR), and respiratory rate-oxygenation (ROX) and their associations with 28-day mortality have not been clearly explored.MethodsBased on the eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD), this study used a group-based trajectory model to identify longitudinal subphenotypes of RR, HR, and ROX during the first 72 h of ICU stays. A logistic model was used to evaluate the associations of trajectories with 28-day mortality considering the group with the lowest rate of mortality as a reference. Restricted cubic spline was used to quantify linear and nonlinear effects of static RR-related factors during the first 72 h of ICU stays on 28-day mortality. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the prediction models with the Delong test.ResultsA total of 938 critically ill elderly patients with ARDS were involved with five and 5 trajectories of RR and HR, respectively. A total of 204 patients fit 4 ROX trajectories. In the subphenotypes of RR, when compared with group 4, the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of group 3 were 2.74 (1.48-5.07) (P = 0.001). Regarding the HR subphenotypes, in comparison to group 1, the ORs and 95% CIs were 2.20 (1.19-4.08) (P = 0.012) for group 2, 2.70 (1.40-5.23) (P = 0.003) for group 3, 2.16 (1.04-4.49) (P = 0.040) for group 5. Low last ROX had a higher mortality risk (P linear = 0.023, P nonlinear = 0.010). Trajectories of RR and HR improved the predictive ability for 28-day mortality (AUC increased by 2.5%, P = 0.020).ConclusionsFor RR and HR, longitudinal subphenotypes are risk factors for 28-day mortality and have additional predictive enrichment, whereas the last ROX during the first 72 h of ICU stays is associated with 28-day mortality. These findings indicate that maintaining the health dynamic subphenotypes of RR and HR in the ICU and elevating static ROX after initial critical care may have potentially beneficial effects on prognosis in critically ill elderly patients with ARDS.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To investigate the association between inhaled nitric oxide treatment and ICU mortality and 28-day ventilator-free days in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome. DESIGN:Retrospective cohort study. A propensity score for inhaled nitric oxide treatment was developed and used in the analysis. SETTING:Two quaternary care PICUs. PATIENTS:Children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome. INTERVENTIONS:None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:There were 499 children enrolled in this study with 143 (28.7%) receiving inhaled nitric oxide treatment. Children treated with inhaled nitric oxide were more likely to have a primary diagnosis of pneumonia (72% vs 54.8%; p < 0.001), had a higher initial oxygenation index (median 16.9 [interquartile range, 10.1-27.3] vs 8.5 [interquartile range, 5.8-12.2]; p < 0.001), and had a higher 72-hour maximal Vasoactive-Inotrope Score (median 15 [interquartile range, 6-25] vs 8 [interquartile range, 0-17.8]; p < 0.001) than those not receiving inhaled nitric oxide. Mortality was higher in the inhaled nitric oxide treatment group (25.2% vs 16.3%; p = 0.02), and children in this group had fewer 28-day ventilator-free days (10 d [interquartile range, 0-18 d] vs 17 d (interquartile range 5.5-22 d]; p < 0.0001). We matched 176 children based on propensity score for inhaled nitric oxide treatment. In the matched cohort, inhaled nitric oxide treatment was not associated with mortality (odds ratio, 1.3 [95% CI, 0.56-3.0]) or 28-day ventilator-free days (incidence rate ratio, 0.91 [95% CI, 0.80-1.04]). These results remained consistent in the entire study cohort when the propensity score for inhaled nitric oxide treatment was used for either inverse probability weighting or stratification in regression modeling with the exception that subjects treated with inhaled nitric oxide were more likely to have 0 ventilator-free days (p ? 0.02). In secondary analysis stratified by oxygenation response, inhaled nitric oxide treatment was not associated with mortality or 28-day ventilator-free days in children with a positive oxygenation response (all p > 0.2) CONCLUSIONS:: Treatment with inhaled nitric oxide in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome is not associated with improvement in either mortality or ventilator-free days and may be associated with harm. Further prospective trials are required to define the role of inhaled nitric oxide treatment in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Project description:ObjectivesPediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome is heterogeneous, with a paucity of risk stratification tools to assist with trial design. We aimed to develop and validate mortality prediction models for patients with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome.DesignLeveraging additional data collection from a preplanned ancillary study (Version 1) of the multinational Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress syndrome Incidence and Epidemiology study, we identified predictors of mortality. Separate models were built for the entire Version 1 cohort, for the cohort excluding neurologic deaths, for intubated subjects, and for intubated subjects excluding neurologic deaths. Models were externally validated in a cohort of intubated pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome patients from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.SettingThe derivation cohort represented 100 centers worldwide; the validation cohort was from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.PatientsThere were 624 and 640 subjects in the derivation and validation cohorts, respectively.InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsThe model for the full cohort included immunocompromised status, Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction 2 score, day 0 vasopressor-inotrope score and fluid balance, and PaO2/FIO2 6 hours after pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome onset. This model had good discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.82), calibration, and internal validation. Models excluding neurologic deaths, for intubated subjects, and for intubated subjects excluding neurologic deaths also demonstrated good discrimination (all area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ≥ 0.84) and calibration. In the validation cohort, models for intubated pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (including and excluding neurologic deaths) had excellent discrimination (both area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ≥ 0.85), but poor calibration. After revision, the model for all intubated subjects remained miscalibrated, whereas the model excluding neurologic deaths showed perfect calibration. Mortality models also stratified ventilator-free days at 28 days in both derivation and validation cohorts.ConclusionsWe describe predictive models for mortality in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome using readily available variables from day 0 of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome which outperform severity of illness scores and which demonstrate utility for composite outcomes such as ventilator-free days. Models can assist with risk stratification for clinical trials.
