Fluid overload and mortality in critically ill patients with severe heart failure and cardiogenic shock-An observational cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Patients with heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock are especially prone to the negative effects of fluid overload (FO); however, fluid resuscitation in respective patients is sometimes necessary resulting in FO. We aimed to study the association of FO at ICU discharge with 30-day mortality in patients admitted to the ICU due to severe heart failure and/or cardiogenic shock.

Methods

Retrospective, single-center cohort study. Patients with admission diagnoses of severe HF and/or cardiogenic shock were eligible. The following exclusion criteria were applied: (I) patients younger than 16 years, (II) patients admitted to our intermediate care unit, and (III) patients with incomplete data to determine FO at ICU discharge. We used a cumulative weight-adjusted definition of fluid balance and defined more than 5% as FO. The data were analyzed by univariate and adjusted univariate logistic regression.

Results

We included 2,158 patients in our analysis. 185 patients (8.6%) were fluid overloaded at ICU discharge. The mean FO in the FO group was 7.2% [interquartile range (IQR) 5.8-10%]. In patients with FO at ICU discharge, 30-day mortality was 22.7% compared to 11.7% in non-FO patients (p < 0.001). In adjusted univariate logistic regression, we did not observe any association of FO at discharge with 30-day mortality [odds ratio (OR) 1.48; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.81-2.71, p = 0.2]. No association between FO and 30-day mortality was found in the subgroups with HF only or cardiogenic shock (all p > 0.05). Baseline lactate (adjusted OR 1.27; 95% CI 1.13-1.42; p < 0.001) and cardiac surgery at admission (adjusted OR 1.94; 95% CI 1.0-3.76; p = 0.05) were the main associated factors with FO at ICU discharge.

Conclusion

In patients admitted to the ICU due to severe HF and/or cardiogenic shock, FO at ICU discharge seems not to be associated with 30-day mortality.

Project description:IntroductionPlatelet mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes (that produce energy) are variably inhibited during human sepsis. Whether these changes occur even during other acute critical illness or are associated with impaired platelet aggregation and secretion (that consume energy) is not known. The aims of this study were firstly to compare platelet mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes activity between patients with sepsis and those with cardiogenic shock, and secondly to study the relationship between platelet mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes activity and platelet responsiveness to (exogenous) agonists in patients with sepsis.MethodsThis was a prospective, observational, case-control study. Platelets were isolated from venous blood of 16 patients with severe sepsis or septic shock (free from antiplatelet drugs) and 16 others with cardiogenic shock, within 48 hours from admission to Intensive Care. Platelet mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes activity was measured with spectrophotometry and expressed relative to citrate synthase activity, a marker of mitochondrial density. Platelet aggregation and secretion in response to adenosine di-phosphate (ADP), collagen, U46619 and thrombin receptor activating peptide were measured with lumiaggregometry only in patients with sepsis. In total, 16 healthy volunteers acted as controls for both spectrophotometry and lumiaggregometry.ResultsPlatelets of patients with sepsis or cardiogenic shock similarly had lower mitochondrial nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase (NADH) (P < 0.001), complex I (P = 0.006), complex I and III (P < 0.001) and complex IV (P < 0.001) activity than those of controls. Platelets of patients with sepsis were generally hypo-responsive to exogenous agonists, both in terms of maximal aggregation (P < 0.001) and secretion (P < 0.05). Lower mitochondrial NADH (R (2) 0.36; P < 0.001), complex I (R (2) 0.38; P < 0.001), complex I and III (R (2) 0.27; P = 0.002) and complex IV (R (2) 0.43; P < 0.001) activity was associated with lower first wave of aggregation with ADP.ConclusionsSeveral platelet mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes are similarly inhibited during human sepsis and cardiogenic shock. In patients with sepsis, mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with general platelet hypo-responsiveness to exogenous agonists.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT00541827 .

Project description:BackgroundAlthough net ultrafiltration (UFNET) is frequently used for treatment of fluid overload in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury, the optimal intensity of UFNET is unclear. Among critically ill patients with fluid overload receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT), we examined the association between UFNET intensity and risk-adjusted 1-year mortality.MethodsWe selected patients with fluid overload ≥ 5% of body weight prior to initiation of RRT from a large academic medical center ICU dataset. UFNET intensity was calculated as the net volume of fluid ultrafiltered per day from initiation of either continuous or intermittent RRT until the end of ICU stay adjusted for patient hospital admission body weight. We stratified UFNET as low (≤ 20 ml/kg/day), moderate (> 20 to ≤ 25 ml/kg/day) or high (> 25 ml/kg/day) intensity. We adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, race, surgery, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate, oliguria, first RRT modality, pre-RRT fluid balance, duration of RRT, time to RRT initiation from ICU admission, APACHE III score, mechanical ventilation use, suspected sepsis, mean arterial pressure on day 1 of RRT, cumulative fluid balance during RRT and cumulative vasopressor dose during RRT. We fitted logistic regression for 1-year mortality, Gray's survival model and propensity matching to account for indication bias.ResultsOf 1075 patients, the distribution of high, moderate and low-intensity UFNET groups was 40.4%, 15.2% and 44.2% and 1-year mortality was 59.4% vs 60.2% vs 69.7%, respectively (p = 0.003). Using logistic regression, high-intensity compared with low-intensity UFNET was associated with lower mortality (adjusted odds ratio 0.61, 95% CI 0.41-0.93, p = 0.02). Using Gray's model, high UFNET was associated with decreased mortality up to 39 days after ICU admission (adjusted hazard ratio range 0.50-0.73). After combining low and moderate-intensity UFNET groups (n = 258) and propensity matching with the high-intensity group (n = 258), UFNET intensity > 25 ml/kg/day compared with ≤ 25 ml/kg/day was associated with lower mortality (57% vs 67.8%, p = 0.01). Findings were robust to several sensitivity analyses.ConclusionsAmong critically ill patients with ≥ 5% fluid overload and receiving RRT, UFNET intensity > 25 ml/kg/day compared with ≤ 20 ml/kg/day was associated with lower 1-year risk-adjusted mortality. Whether tolerating intensive UFNET is just a marker for recovery or a mediator requires further research.

Project description:ObjectivesFluid management is important in ensuring haemodynamic stability in critically ill patients, but can easily lead to fluid overload (FO). However, the optimal fluid balance plot or range for critically ill patients is unknown. This study aimed to explore the dose-response relationship between FO and in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients.DesignMulticentre, prospective, observational study.SettingEighteen intensive care units (ICUs) of 16 tertiary hospitals in China.ParticipantsCritically ill patients in the ICU for more than 3 days.Primary outcome measures and analysesFO was defined as the ratio of the cumulative fluid balance (L) and initial body weight (kg) on ICU admission, expressed as a percentage. Maximum FO was defined as the peak value of FO during the first 3 days of ICU admission. Logistic regression models with restricted cubic splines were used to explore the pattern and magnitude of the association between maximum FO and risk of in-hospital mortality. Age, sex, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score on admission, main diagnosis on admission to ICU, comorbidities, time of maximum FO, mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, use of vasopressors and centres were adjusted in multivariable analysis.ResultsA total of 3850 patients were included in the study, 929 (24.1%) of whom died in the hospital. For each 1% L/kg increase in maximum FO, the risk of in-hospital mortality increased by 4% (adjusted HR (aHR) 1.04, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.05, p<0.001). A maximum FO greater than 10% was associated with a 44% increased HR of in-hospital mortality compared with an FO less than 5% (aHR 1.44, 95% CI 1.27 to 1.67). Notably, we found a non-linear dose-response association between maximum FO and in-hospital mortality.ConclusionsBoth higher and negative fluid balance levels were associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients.Trial registration numberChiCTR-ECH-13003934.
