The association between Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte ratio and postoperative delirium in ICU patients in cardiac surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To analyze the relationship between monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and postoperative delirium (POD).

Methods

This cohort study was conducted in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-III (MIMIC-III) version 1.4 database. MLR was measured according to the complete blood count. ICD-9 was used to measure postoperative delirium. Multivariable logistic regression was utilized to examine the relationship between MLR and POD.

Results

Three thousand eight hundred sixty-eight patients who had received cardiac surgery were retrospectively enrolled, including 2171 males and 1697 females, with a mean age of 63.9 ± 16.2 years. The univariate analysis suggested that high MLR (as a continuous variable) as associated with a 21% higher risk of POD (O R: 1.12, 95% CI, 1.02, 1.43, p = 0.0259), After adjustments for other confounding factors, gender, age, race, temperature, SBP, DBP, MAP, respiratory rate, SOFA, peripheral vascular disease, AG, psychoses, drug, and alcohol addiction, the results showed that high MLR (as a continuous variable) independently served as a risk factor for POD (OR: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.01-1.44; p = 0.0378). MLR was assessed as quintile and tertiles, high MLR was an independent risk factor for POD. In the subgroup analysis, there were no differences in MLR for patients with POD in pre-specified subgroups.

Conclusions

Monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio was a risk factor for POD. More research is necessary to thoroughly examine the function of MLR in POD.

Project description:BackgroundThe neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been recognized as a useful marker of poor prognosis in non-cardiac surgery patients. But, the prognostic function of NLR in cardiovascular surgery patients still largely unknown. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between postoperative NLR and mortality in cardiac surgery patients.MethodsClinical data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database. Postoperative day 1 (POD-1) NLR of the patients was calculated. All patients were divided into two groups according to the cut-off value of NLR, which was determined using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Youden Index. The primary death outcomes were 30-day, 90-day and 1-year mortality. Cox proportional hazard analysis was performed to assess the associations between NLR and 1-year mortality. Logistic analysis was performed to assess the associations between NLR and other outcomes. Multivariate analyses were used to control for confounders.ResultsA total of 2,707 cardiac surgery patients were included in this study. The cut-off value of postoperative NLR was 7.28. Elevated postoperative NLR was associated with increased death outcomes including 30-day mortality [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 2.25, P=0.019], 90-day mortality (adjusted OR 2.49, P=0.001) and 1-year mortality [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.58, P=0.03] of cardiac surgery in cox proportional hazard model. Elevated NLR was also associated with increased risk of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) rate (adjusted OR 3.01, P=0.004), prolonged ICU stays (adjusted OR 2.55, P<0.001), prolonged hospital stays (adjusted OR 3.32, P<0.001) and duration of ventilatory support (adjusted OR 4.16, P<0.001) after adjusting confounders.ConclusionsElevated postoperative NLR was significantly associated with increased short-term and long-term mortality, CRRT rate, longer ICU and hospital stay, prolonged ventilation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. NLR is promising to be a readily available and independent prognostic biomarker for patients with cardiac surgery.

Project description:IntroductionThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption contributes to postoperative delirium, but cost-effective and non-invasive assessment of its permeability is not practicable in the clinical settings. Urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR), reflecting systemic vascular endothelial dysfunction, may be a prognostic and predictive factor associated with postoperative delirium. The aim was to analyze the relationship between UACR and postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery.Materials and methodsThrough stratified random sampling, a cohort of 408 individuals aged 60 years and older scheduled for elective non-cardiac surgery were included between February and August 2019 in the single-center, prospective, observational study. The presence of delirium was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) or Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU) on the day of surgery, at 2 h after the surgery ending time and on the first 3 consecutive days with repeated twice-daily, with at least 6-h intervals between assessments. Urine samples were collected on one day before surgery, and 1st day and 3rd day after surgery. The primary outcome was the presence of postoperative delirium, and association of the level of UACR with postoperative delirium was evaluated with unadjusted/adjusted analyses and multivariable logistic regression.ResultsPostoperative delirium was observed in 26.75% (107 of 400) of patients within 3 days post-surgery. UACR-Pre (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.14-1.49, p < 0.001), UACR-POD1 (OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.13-1.27, p < 0.001), and UACR-POD3 (OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.08-1.20, p < 0.001) between the delirium and non-delirium groups show a significant difference, even after adjusting for age, education levels, and other factors.ConclusionAs the marker of endothelial dysfunction, the high perioperative UACR value may be linked to the postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery.
