Abstract
Background
Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) are more likely to suffer complications after being infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
Objectives
We aimed to describe the clinical features of SOTRs infected with SARS-CoV-2 and to assess independent risk factors associated with the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following COVID-19 infection in SOTRs based on the new ARDS definition.
Methods
358 SOTRs infected with SARS-CoV-2 were recruited and divided into two groups, patients with ARDS (n = 81) and patients without ARDS (n = 277). Demographic data, initial laboratory findings, therapeutic measures, and outcome indicators were compared between the two groups. The association between the onset of ARDS and related factors was analyzed using a logistic regression model. A nomogram was created to estimate the probability of developing ARDS.
Results
Approximately 22.6 % (81/358) of hospitalized SOTRs infected with SARS-CoV-2 developed ARDS. In comparison to patients without ARDS, those with ARDS presented with more underlying conditions, decreased lymphocyte counts and serum albumin levels, but increased levels of leukocytes, serum creatinine, nitrogen urea, uric acid, and inflammatory markers. Cerebrovascular disease, leukocyte counts, albumin levels, and IL-6 levels were independent risk factors for the development of ARDS in this population. Furthermore, a nomogram prediction model was created utilizing the aforementioned factors to facilitate early prediction of ARDS, exhibiting an AUC (area under curve) of 0.81.
Conclusions
Cerebrovascular disease, leukocyte counts, albumin levels, and IL-6 levels were independent risk factors for the development of ARDS following COVID-19 infection in SOTRs.
期刊介绍:
Heart & Lung: The Journal of Cardiopulmonary and Acute Care, the official publication of The American Association of Heart Failure Nurses, presents original, peer-reviewed articles on techniques, advances, investigations, and observations related to the care of patients with acute and critical illness and patients with chronic cardiac or pulmonary disorders.
The Journal''s acute care articles focus on the care of hospitalized patients, including those in the critical and acute care settings. Because most patients who are hospitalized in acute and critical care settings have chronic conditions, we are also interested in the chronically critically ill, the care of patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disorders, their rehabilitation, and disease prevention. The Journal''s heart failure articles focus on all aspects of the care of patients with this condition. Manuscripts that are relevant to populations across the human lifespan are welcome.
