Abstract
Purpose: To determine the effect of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level at admission affects the 90-day mortality rate in patients with viral pneumonia.
Methods: Two hundred fifty viral pneumonia patients were stratified into normal FPG (FPG<7.0 mmol/L), moderately-elevated FPG (FPG=7.0-14.0 mmol/L), and highly-elevated FPG groups (FPG≥14.0 mmol/L) according to the FPG level at the time of admission. The clinical characteristics, etiologies, and prognosis of different groups of patients were compared. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analyses were used to determine the relationship between the FPG level and 90-day all-cause mortality rate in patients with viral pneumonia.
Results: Patients in the moderately- and highly-elevated FPG groups had a higher proportion of severe disease and mortality compared with the normal FPG group (P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a significant trend toward higher mortality and increased cumulative risk at 30, 60, and 90 d in patients with an FPG=7.0-14.0 mmol/L and an FPG≥14 mmol/L (χ2=51. 77, P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that compared with an FPG<7.0 mmol/L, FPG=7.0 and 14.0 mmol/L (HR: 9.236, 95% CI: 1.106-77.119, P=0.040) and FPG≥14.0 mmol/L (HR: 25.935, 95% CI: 2.586-246.213, P=0.005) were independent risk factors for predicting the 90-day mortality rate in viral pneumonia patients.
Conclusions: The higher the FPG level at admission in a patient with viral pneumonia, the higher the risk of all-cause mortality within 90 d.
期刊介绍:
Publishing outstanding articles from all fields of endocrinology and diabetology, from molecular biology to clinical research, this journal is a brilliant resource. Since being published in English in 1983, the popularity of this journal has grown steadily, reflecting the importance of this publication within its field.
Original contributions and short communications appear in each issue along with reviews addressing current topics. In addition, supplementary issues are published each year presenting abstracts or proceedings of national and international scientific meetings.
The journal was initially published in German and is still the oldest endocrinological periodical in the German-language market!
