Background

A hyperdynamic left ventricle (ejection fraction (EF) ≥70 %) on stress imaging is closely linked to diastolic dysfunction and may indicate heart failure with preserved EF (HFpEF) in the right clinical context.

Objectives

To investigate the underlying causes and prognostic implications of hyperdynamic left ventricular ejection fraction (HDLVEF) in critically ill patients diagnosed with sepsis.

Methods

A total of 235 patients diagnosed with septic shock and admitted to the intensive care unit were included in this study. Diagnosis of sepsis was established based on the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, which was calculated upon admission and updated every 24 h using the worst values from the prior day. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed either by the principal investigator or a certified cardiologist accredited by the Egyptian Medical Society of Echocardiography (EMSE).

Results

Among the 235 patients, 88 (37.4 %) died within 28 days, while 147 (62.6 %) survived. Hyperdynamic EF was significantly more prevalent in the deceased group compared to survivors, with an odds ratio of 4.822 (95 % CI: 1.467–8.852), indicating a strong association with mortality. Multivariate analysis identified several independent predictors of mortality, including older age, lower mean arterial pressure, higher SOFA scores, and elevated serum lactate levels. Additionally, the mortality rate was significantly higher among male patients.

Conclusion

HDLVEF holds significant prognostic value in patients with sepsis in critical care. It may serve as a valuable early echocardiographic marker of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy or cardiovascular dysfunction, potentially aiding in risk assessment and early therapeutic decisions.

Trial registration

The trial was registered before patient enrolment at ClinicalTrials.gov (ID/ NCT06993948).
应激成像显示高动力左心室(射血分数(EF)≥70%)与舒张功能障碍密切相关,在正确的临床背景下可能提示保留EF (HFpEF)的心力衰竭。目的探讨脓毒症危重患者高动力左室射血分数(HDLVEF)的病因及预后意义。方法对235例确诊为感染性休克并入住重症监护病房的患者进行研究。脓毒症的诊断基于顺序器官衰竭评估(SOFA)评分,该评分在入院时计算,每24小时更新一次,使用前一天的最差值。经胸超声心动图(TTE)由主要研究者或经埃及超声心动图医学会(EMSE)认证的心脏病专家进行。结果235例患者中,28 d内死亡88例(37.4%),存活147例(62.6%)。与幸存者相比,高动力EF在死者组中更为普遍,优势比为4.822 (95% CI: 1.467-8.852),表明与死亡率密切相关。多变量分析确定了几个独立的死亡率预测因素,包括年龄较大、平均动脉压较低、SOFA评分较高和血清乳酸水平升高。此外,男性患者的死亡率明显较高。结论hdlvef在脓毒症重症监护患者中具有重要的预后价值。它可以作为一个有价值的早期超声心动图标记败血症引起的心肌病或心血管功能障碍,潜在地帮助风险评估和早期治疗决策。试验注册该试验在患者入组前在ClinicalTrials.gov (ID/ NCT06993948)上注册。

Background

The incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) continues to rise among younger populations, necessitating the development of rapid and effective risk prediction models to provide new approaches for secondary prevention of CHD. Objective: To construct a clinical prediction model for premature coronary heart disease (PCHD) in the Chinese population based on machine learning algorithms.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted young and middle-aged patients undergoing coronary angiography at Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital (November 2018-May 2023).Feature selection was performed using Lasso regressionwith 10-fold cross-validation, followed by multivariate logistic regression. Seven supervised learning algorithms were evaluated: Logistic Regression (LR), LightGBM (LGBM), Random Forest (RF), Decision Trees (DT), Support Vector Machines (SVM), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Naïve Bayes (NB).

Results

This study enrolled a total of 1276 participants, comprising ‌881 in the PCHD group‌ and ‌395 in the non-PCHD group. LASSO regression analysis‌ identified ‌nine potential predictors. All sevne machine learning models demonstrated good predictive performance. After excluding overfitted models, the LR model (AUC: 0.82; Sensitivity: 0.654; Specificity: 0.805; Recall: 0.654; F1: 0.749) and SVM model had higher AUC values than XGBoost (AUC: 0.794; Sensitivity: 0.858; Specificity: 0.504; Recall: 0.858; F1: 0.82) in the validation set. Therefore, we used Nomogram and SHAP summary plot to visualize and interpret the LR model and SVM model, respectively.

Conclusion

The LR-based nomogram and SVM-SHAP model provide clinically actionable tools for PCHD risk stratification. These models facilitate early identification of high-risk individuals for targeted preventive interventions.
背景冠心病(CHD)在年轻人群中的发病率持续上升,需要开发快速有效的风险预测模型,为冠心病的二级预防提供新的途径。目的:构建基于机器学习算法的中国人群早发性冠心病(PCHD)临床预测模型。方法对2018年11月- 2023年5月苏北人民医院行冠状动脉造影的中青年患者进行回顾性队列研究。特征选择使用Lasso回归进行10倍交叉验证,然后进行多变量逻辑回归。评估了七种监督学习算法:逻辑回归(LR)、LightGBM (LGBM)、随机森林(RF)、决策树(DT)、支持向量机(SVM)、极端梯度增强(XGBoost)、k-近邻(KNN)和Naïve贝叶斯(NB)。结果本研究共纳入1276名参与者,其中PCHD组881名,非PCHD组395名。LASSO回归分析确定了9个潜在的预测因素。所有七个机器学习模型都显示出良好的预测性能。排除过拟合模型后,验证集中LR模型(AUC: 0.82,灵敏度:0.654,特异性:0.805,召回率:0.654,F1: 0.749)和SVM模型的AUC值均高于XGBoost模型(AUC: 0.794,灵敏度:0.858,特异性:0.504,召回率:0.858,F1: 0.82)。因此,我们分别使用Nomogram和SHAP summary plot对LR模型和SVM模型进行可视化和解释。结论基于lr的nomogram和SVM-SHAP模型为PCHD风险分层提供了临床可行的工具。这些模型有助于早期识别高风险个体,以便进行有针对性的预防干预。

Background

Conventional percutaneous coronary intervention (CV-PCI) remains a standard treatment approach for coronary artery disease (CAD); however, robotic PCI (RB-PCI) is gaining attention due to possible radiation reduction.

Objectives

This meta-analysis aims to compare periprocedural outcomes of RB-PCI with those of CV-PCI using a Bayesian framework.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library, to identify studies comparing RB-PCI and CV-PCI. A Bayesian non-informative random-effects model was applied to synthesize the data, providing posterior estimates with credible intervals (Crl).

Results

A total of ten studies and one report encompassing 3587 cases (RB-PCI and CV-PCI) were included. No significant differences were observed between RB-PCI and CV-PCI in terms of procedure time (MD 5.99; 95 % Crl -3.44 to 15.40), fluoroscopy time (MD -0.03; 95 % Crl -2.22 to 2.05), contrast volume (MD -5.87; 95 % CrI -17.85 to 6.55), or dose area product (MD -786.96; 95 % Crl -2374.70 to 773.10). Additionally, there was no significant difference in complications.

Conclusion

This Bayesian meta-analysis indicates that RB-PCI offers procedural efficiency and clinical outcomes comparable to those of CV-PCI, with no significant differences in key procedural parameters. The outcomes of this synthesis may question the cost-effectiveness of this technology in the management of CAD, as the benefits of RB-PCI are limited to radiation reduction. Lack of high-quality randomized trials leads to lower certainty of current evidence.
传统经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(CV-PCI)仍然是冠状动脉疾病(CAD)的标准治疗方法;然而,机器人PCI (RB-PCI)由于可能减少辐射而受到关注。目的:本荟萃分析旨在使用贝叶斯框架比较RB-PCI与CV-PCI的围手术期预后。方法在PubMed、Scopus、Cochrane Library等多个数据库中进行综合文献检索,找出RB-PCI与CV-PCI的比较研究。采用贝叶斯非信息随机效应模型综合数据,提供具有可信区间(Crl)的后验估计。结果共纳入10项研究和1份报告,共3587例(RB-PCI和CV-PCI)。RB-PCI和CV-PCI在手术时间(MD 5.99; 95% Crl -3.44至15.40)、透视时间(MD -0.03; 95% Crl -2.22至2.05)、造影剂体积(MD -5.87; 95% CrI -17.85至6.55)或剂量面积积(MD -786.96; 95% Crl -2374.70至773.10)方面均无显著差异。此外,两组并发症发生率无显著差异。结论本贝叶斯荟萃分析表明,RB-PCI的手术效率和临床结果与CV-PCI相当,关键手术参数无显著差异。这种综合的结果可能会质疑该技术在CAD管理中的成本效益,因为RB-PCI的益处仅限于减少辐射。缺乏高质量的随机试验导致当前证据的确定性较低。

Background

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a disease characterized by recurrent obstruction of the upper airways during sleep, posing an independent risk for cardiovascular diseases. Serum chemerin is an adipokine associated with both OSAS and cardiovascular diseases.

Objectives

Our aim is to investigate the effect of OSAS surgery on cardiac functions and serum chemerin levels in patients.

Methods

This prospective study included 43 surgical OSAS patients. Echocardiographic parameters and serum chemerin levels were assessed before and 6 months after surgery. Right and left ventricular strain were measured by speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE). Surgical response was defined as a ≥ 50 % reduction in the apnea–hypopnea index (AHI).

Results

Six months after surgery, RV FWS and LV GLS values became significantly more negative, indicating improved myocardial function (RV FWS: −20.98 ± 2.26 % to −23.71 ± 2.53 %, p < 0.001; LV GLS: −21.28 ± 1.49 % to −22.74 ± 1.63 %, p < 0.001). Serum chemerin levels significantly decreased from 1320 (683–2530) pg/mL to 328 (66–6234) pg/mL (p = 0.024). AHI also decreased markedly (26.9 ± 16.4 to 16.1 ± 14.0, p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, change in RV FWS independently predicted surgical success (OR 2.449, 95 % CI 1.361–4.408, p = 0.003).

Conclusion

Our study revealed a decrease in serum chemerin levels and improvement in LV and RV functions in patients undergoing surgery for OSAS. The change in the RV FWS parameter in OSAS patients indicates the response to surgical treatment.
背景:阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征(OSAS)是一种以睡眠期间上呼吸道反复阻塞为特征的疾病,具有心血管疾病的独立风险。血清趋化素是一种与OSAS和心血管疾病相关的脂肪因子。目的探讨OSAS手术对患者心功能及血清趋化素水平的影响。方法本前瞻性研究纳入43例外科OSAS患者。术前和术后6个月分别评估超声心动图参数和血清趋化素水平。采用斑点跟踪超声心动图(STE)测量左、右心室应变。手术疗效定义为呼吸暂停低通气指数(AHI)降低≥50%。结果术后6个月,右心室FWS和左心室GLS值明显变负,心肌功能改善(右心室FWS:−20.98±2.26% ~−23.71±2.53%,p < 0.001;左心室GLS:−21.28±1.49% ~−22.74±1.63%,p < 0.001)。血清趋化素水平从1320 (683-2530)pg/mL显著降低至328 (66-6234)pg/mL (p = 0.024)。AHI也明显降低(26.9±16.4 ~ 16.1±14.0,p < 0.001)。在多变量分析中,RV FWS的变化独立预测手术成功(OR 2.449, 95% CI 1.361-4.408, p = 0.003)。结论:OSAS手术患者血清趋化素水平下降,左室和右室功能改善。OSAS患者RV FWS参数的变化表明对手术治疗的反应。

Background

Sepsis-induced myocardial injury is a significant contributor to adverse outcomes in critically ill patients. The impact of milrinone on the prognosis of patients with sepsis-related myocardial injury remains limited.

Objectives

This study aimed to evaluate whether milrinone treatment improves short- and mid-term prognoses in patients with sepsis-related myocardial injury.

Methods

A retrospective study was conducted using the MIMIC-IV version 3.1 database, involving 94,458 ICU admissions. Among these, 41,295 were diagnosed with sepsis according to Sepsis-3 criteria, leading to the identification of 22,376 patients with sepsis-related myocardial injury. We established 565 matched pairs of milrinone and non-milrinone users through 1:1 propensity score matching based on demographics, organ function status, and laboratory indicators. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were utilized to visualize survival distributions, and log-rank tests were performed to compare group survival. The primary outcomes were the 90-day and 365-day survival rates.

Results

Before matching, the 90-day survival rates were 67.5% for the milrinone group versus 72.1% for the non-milrinone group (p = 0.078). The 365-day survival rates were 62.0% vs. 58.4% (p = 0.092). After matching, the 90-day survival rates were 71.3% vs. 72.2% (p = 0.801), while the 365-day rates were 66.7% vs. 59.7% (p = 0.013). Notably, milrinone benefited patients aged ≥65 and those with specific risk factors, with low-dose milrinone showing higher survival rates (70.0% vs 62.4%, p = 0.043).

Conclusions

Milrinone treatment may improve long-term survival rates in patients with sepsis-related myocardial injury. Future research should focus on refining treatment protocols and tailoring therapeutic approaches based on individual patient characteristics.
背景败血症引起的心肌损伤是危重患者不良结局的重要因素。米力农对脓毒症相关心肌损伤患者预后的影响仍然有限。目的本研究旨在评估米力农治疗是否能改善败血症相关心肌损伤患者的短期和中期预后。方法采用MIMIC-IV 3.1版数据库进行回顾性研究,纳入94458例ICU住院患者。其中41295例根据脓毒症-3标准诊断为脓毒症,共鉴定出22376例脓毒症相关心肌损伤。我们根据人口统计学、器官功能状态和实验室指标,通过1:1的倾向评分匹配,建立了565对米力农和非米力农使用者的匹配对。Kaplan-Meier生存曲线显示生存分布,log-rank检验比较各组生存。主要结局为90天和365天生存率。结果配对前,米力酮组90天生存率为67.5%,非米力酮组为72.1% (p = 0.078)。365天生存率分别为62.0%和58.4% (p = 0.092)。配对后,90天生存率为71.3%比72.2% (p = 0.801), 365天生存率为66.7%比59.7% (p = 0.013)。值得注意的是,米力农对年龄≥65岁和有特定危险因素的患者有好处,低剂量米力农的生存率更高(70.0% vs 62.4%, p = 0.043)。结论米利酮治疗可提高脓毒症相关性心肌损伤患者的长期生存率。未来的研究应侧重于改进治疗方案,并根据个体患者的特点定制治疗方法。

Background

Severe asthma—a critical subset of asthma—is known for escalating the risk of asthma-related symptoms. However, current research on the management and burden of severe asthma in developing countries remains limited, especially in China, constraining evidence-based policymaking.

Objectives

This study aims to evaluate the medication management, health outcomes, and economic burden of severe asthma across different control levels in China.

Methods

We analyzed routinely collected data on nearly 1.7 million subjects from Tianjin, China. Severe asthma was identified based on specific medication use patterns. Patients were stratified as uncontrolled, suboptimally controlled or controlled according to the inpatient admission, short-term systemic corticosteroid use and short-acting inhaled beta₂-agonist use. Over a one-year follow-up period, the medication management, health outcomes, and economic burden were assessed.

Results

A total of 2418 patients with severe asthma were identified. Inhaled corticosteroids/long-acting beta2-agonist (ICS/LABA) was the most commonly used controller medication (93.51 %), while patients with poorer control spent more on additional controller medications and Chinese herbal medicines. Oral corticosteroids (OCS) were less used (10.75 %), but the mean daily dosage of OCS among OCS users was as high as 15.68 mg—1.6 times the recommended dosage in Chinese guidelines. Only 17.78 % of patients with severe asthma demonstrated good adherence (defined as proportion of days covered ≥ 0.8) to asthma control treatment. Patients with uncontrolled asthma showed a significantly high proportion of exacerbations (51.42 %) and incurred higher asthma-related medical cost than suboptimally controlled and controlled patients (CNY 8506.83 vs. 3559.35 vs. 2105.70, p = 0.000).

Conclusion

Patients with severe asthma exhibit poor treatment adherence, low OCS usage rates but excessively high doses among users, pursuit of alternative therapies, and a high economic burden in Tianjin, China. These findings underscore the urgent need to improve severe asthma management, particularly for those with uncontrolled asthma.
研究背景:严重哮喘是哮喘的一个重要亚型,已知可使哮喘相关症状的风险升高。然而,目前关于发展中国家严重哮喘的管理和负担的研究仍然有限,特别是在中国,这限制了基于证据的政策制定。目的:本研究旨在评估中国不同控制水平下重症哮喘的药物管理、健康结局和经济负担。方法:我们分析了来自中国天津的近170万受试者的常规收集数据。根据特定的药物使用模式确定严重哮喘。根据住院情况、短期全身性皮质类固醇使用情况和短效吸入β 2激动剂使用情况,将患者分为未控制、次优控制或控制。在一年的随访期间,评估药物管理、健康结果和经济负担。结果:共发现重度哮喘患者2418例。吸入皮质类固醇/长效β -受体激动剂(ICS/LABA)是最常用的控制药物(93.51%),而控制较差的患者更多地使用额外的控制药物和中草药。口服皮质类固醇(OCS)的使用较少(10.75%),但OCS使用者的平均日剂量高达中国指南推荐剂量的15.68 mg-1.6倍。只有17.78%的严重哮喘患者表现出良好的哮喘控制治疗依从性(定义为覆盖天数比例≥0.8)。未控制哮喘患者发作比例(51.42%)显著高于控制次优和控制次优患者,哮喘相关医疗费用(8506.83元人民币vs. 3559.35元人民币vs. 2105.70元人民币,p = 0.000)。结论:中国天津市重症哮喘患者治疗依从性差,OCS使用率低,但用药剂量过高,追求替代治疗,经济负担高。这些发现强调了改善严重哮喘管理的迫切需要,特别是对那些未控制的哮喘患者。

Background

High blood eosinophil counts correlate with the risk of future exacerbations. It is uncertain whether this correlation is still valid even in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients receiving optimal management.

Objectives

To evaluate whether increased blood eosinophil counts are associated with future exacerbation risk in stable COPD patients receiving dual bronchodilator use.

Methods

This study used data from the Korean COPD Subgroup Study (KOCOSS) cohort. Stable COPD was defined as experiencing fewer than two moderate or no severe exacerbations in the previous year. The exposure variable was blood eosinophil level, with a high level defined as ≥ 300 cells/μL. The primary and secondary outcomes were the moderate-to-severe and severe acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD). The risk of AECOPD was assessed using a multivariable Cox regression model.

Results

Over a median follow-up of 12 months (interquartile ranges, 6–24 months), the incidence of moderate-to-severe AECOPD was 16.5 %. In multivariable analysis, the risk of moderate-to-severe and severe AECOPD increased by 14 % and 27 % for every 100-cell/μL increase in blood eosinophil count (95 % CI: 1.00–1.30). Patients with a high eosinophil count also exhibited an increased risk of moderate-to-severe AECOPD compared to those without (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 1.79, 95 % confidence interval [CI] = 1.05–3.03). Exploratory analyses showed that higher blood eosinophil counts were also associated with an increased the risk of severe AECOPD (aHR: 1.27, 95 % CI: 1.04–1.54).

Conclusions

Higher blood eosinophil counts were associated with an increased risk of AECOPD in stable COPD patients, even among those receiving dual bronchodilators.
背景:高血嗜酸性粒细胞计数与未来恶化的风险相关。即使在接受最佳治疗的稳定型慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者中,这种相关性是否仍然有效尚不确定。目的:评估接受双支气管扩张剂治疗的稳定期COPD患者血嗜酸性粒细胞计数增加是否与未来加重风险相关。方法:本研究使用来自韩国COPD亚组研究(KOCOSS)队列的数据。稳定COPD的定义是在过去一年中经历少于两次中度或无严重恶化。暴露变量为血嗜酸性粒细胞水平,高水平定义为≥300个细胞/μL。主要结局和次要结局为中度至重度和重度COPD急性加重(AECOPD)。采用多变量Cox回归模型评估AECOPD的风险。结果:中位随访12个月(四分位数间隔6-24个月),中重度AECOPD的发生率为16.5%。在多变量分析中,血液嗜酸性粒细胞计数每增加100个细胞/μL,中重度和重度AECOPD的风险分别增加14%和27% (95% CI: 1.00-1.30)。嗜酸性粒细胞计数高的患者发生中度至重度AECOPD的风险也高于无此计数的患者(校正风险比[aHR] = 1.79, 95%可信区间[CI] = 1.05-3.03)。探索性分析显示,较高的血液嗜酸性粒细胞计数也与严重AECOPD的风险增加相关(aHR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.04-1.54)。结论:在稳定型COPD患者中,较高的血嗜酸性粒细胞计数与AECOPD风险增加相关,即使在接受双支气管扩张剂治疗的患者中也是如此。

Cardiac cachexia is a complex and multifactorial syndrome in patients with heart failure (HF). Cardiac cachexia is associated with poor functional status, symptoms, increased hospitalizations, and psychosocial effects. Despite its significant association with morbidity and mortality, cardiac cachexia remains under-recognized and undertreated. This scientific statement provides a comprehensive overview of the contemporary understanding of cardiac cachexia by detailing the definition, prevalence, prognostic implications, mechanisms, clinical manifestations, diagnostic strategies, treatment modalities, and recommendations for future clinical and research considerations. The development of cardiac cachexia is an indication of advanced serious illness. Diagnostic challenges persist due to the heterogeneous condition of HF, fluid imbalances that may mask or mimic weight changes, and the lack of definitive diagnostic evaluation. While no standard treatment exists, a multidisciplinary approach combining nutritional support, physical activity, and pharmacologic management is recommended. Greater clinical awareness and early identification of cardiac cachexia are essential for improving outcomes in patients with HF. Future research recommendations include prioritizing clinical trials that specifically evaluate cardiac cachexia within the context of HF to develop comprehensive treatment strategies targeting catabolic and anabolic pathways, and the associated psychosocial manifestations of the conditions.

心源性恶病质是心力衰竭(HF)患者中一种复杂的多因素综合征。心脏恶病质与功能状态差、症状、住院率增加和心理社会影响有关。尽管心脏恶病质与发病率和死亡率有显著关联,但它仍未得到充分认识和治疗。这一科学声明提供了对心脏恶病质的当代理解的全面概述,详细介绍了定义、患病率、预后影响、机制、临床表现、诊断策略、治疗方式以及对未来临床和研究考虑的建议。心脏恶病质的发展是晚期严重疾病的一个迹象。由于心衰的异质性,体液不平衡可能掩盖或模拟体重变化,以及缺乏明确的诊断评估,诊断方面的挑战仍然存在。虽然没有标准的治疗方法,但建议采用多学科方法,结合营养支持、体育活动和药物管理。提高临床意识和早期识别心脏恶病质对于改善心衰患者的预后至关重要。未来的研究建议包括优先进行临床试验,专门评估心衰背景下的心脏恶病质,以制定针对分解代谢和合成代谢途径的综合治疗策略,以及相关的心理社会表现。

Background

Coexisting interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) often results in poor outcomes.

Objectives

This study examines differences in US national hospitalization trends and outcomes between ILD with PH and PH alone using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective analysis (2016–2021) of the NIS database identifying admissions of patients ≥18 years with PH-ILD and PH using ICD-10 codes. Main outcomes included in-hospital mortality rate, non-home discharge, prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS), mechanical ventilation, and vasopressor use. Logistic regression models evaluated predictors of adverse outcomes.

Results

A total of 6789 PH-ILD, and 11,863 PH admissions were analyzed. PH-ILD hospitalizations remained stable (3.2/100,000), while PH hospitalizations increased slightly (5.2 to 5.4/100,000). The adverse outcomes such as mortality rate (3.2 % versus 2.9 %, P < 0.001), disposition other than home (51.6 % versus 50.9 %, P < 0.001), prolonged hospital LOS (19.5 % versus 17.1 %, P < 0.001), mechanical ventilation (73 % versus 57.1 %, P < 0.001), and vasopressor use (57.4 % versus 41.8 %, P < 0.001) were significantly higher among those with PH-ILD, compared to PH. Logistics regression showed that PH-ILD admissions had significantly higher odds for mortality rate (aOR, 1.92, 95 % CI: 1.72–2.15, P < 0.001), disposition other than home (aOR, 1.71, 95 % CI: 1.41–1.98, P < 0.001), prolonged hospital LOS (aOR, 1.51, 95 % CI: 1.29–1.62, P < 0.001), mechanical ventilation (aOR, 2.01, 95 % CI: 1.79–2.38, P < 0.001), and vasopressor use (aOR, 1.87, 95 % CI: 1.66–2.09, P < 0.001).

Conclusion

In-hospital adverse outcomes were higher in hospitalizations with concomitant PH-ILD. This highlights the need to risk stratify patients with concomitant ILD and PH during any hospitalization.
背景:间质性肺疾病(ILD)和肺动脉高压(PH)共存往往导致预后不良。目的:本研究利用国家住院患者样本(NIS)数据库,研究美国国家住院趋势和结果在ILD合并PH和单独PH之间的差异。方法:我们对NIS数据库(2016-2021)进行回顾性分析,使用ICD-10代码识别≥18岁的PH- ild和PH入院患者。主要结局包括住院死亡率、非居家出院、延长住院时间(LOS)、机械通气和血管加压药的使用。Logistic回归模型评估不良结果的预测因子。结果共分析了6789例PH- ild和11863例PH入院。PH- ild住院率保持稳定(3.2/100,000),而PH住院率略有增加(5.2至5.4/100,000)。死亡率等不良结果(3.2%比2.9%,P & lt; 0.001),性格除了回家(51.6%比50.9%,P & lt; 0.001),长期医院洛杉矶(19.5%比17.1%,P & lt; 0.001),机械通气(73%比57.1%,P & lt; 0.001),和血管加压的使用(57.4%比41.8%,P & lt; 0.001)要显著高于那些PH-ILD,相比博士物流回归表明PH-ILD录取几率明显高于死亡率(优势比,1.92, 95% CI: 1.72-2.15, P < 0.001),非家庭处置(aOR, 1.71, 95% CI: 1.41-1.98, P < 0.001),延长医院LOS (aOR, 1.51, 95% CI: 1.29-1.62, P < 0.001),机械通气(aOR, 2.01, 95% CI: 1.79-2.38, P < 0.001),血管加压药使用(aOR, 1.87, 95% CI: 1.66-2.09, P < 0.001)。结论合并PH-ILD住院患者的院内不良结局较高。这强调了在任何住院期间对合并ILD和PH的患者进行风险分层的必要性。

Background

Heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are highly prevalent, thus reducing burdensome end-of-life (EOL) care is critical. Families play a key role at EOL, yet most studies focus on the primary caregiver role. Little is known about the effect of the family network on EOL utilization.

Objective(s)

To examine whether family availability and relationship type are associated with hospitalizations and ED rates in the last six months of life among decedents with HF, COPD, or both.

Methods

Using a Utah population dataset, we conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of 60,142 adults aged ≥55 who died, categorized into three diagnostic groups: HF only(n = 51,222), HF+COPD(n = 8069), and COPD only(n = 851). “Family availability” is defined as having ≥1 first-degree relative residing in Utah at death (n = 210,213). Negative binomial regression models, adjusted for sociodemographic and clinical covariates, estimated associations between diagnosis, family type, and hospitalization and ED rates.

Results

Nearly 80 % of decedents had ≥1 hospitalization and 38.9 % had ≥1 ED visit. In adjusted models, diagnosis did not significantly affect utilization. Spouse-only decedents had the highest ED visits (41.8 %; IRR 1.07[1.02–1.12]) and spousal presence was associated with hospitalizations (82.4 %; IRR 1.05[1.02–1.07] and 80.3 %; IRR 1.04[1.02–1.06]) respectively compared to those without family.

Conclusions

Spousal presence was associated with higher ED visits and hospitalization rates among HF and/or COPD decedents. Because linkage indicates geographic presence rather than confirmed caregiving, these findings should be interpreted cautiously. Further research should focus on equipping family members with palliative care skills to optimize EOL care.
背景:心力衰竭(HF)和慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)非常普遍,因此减少负担沉重的临终关怀(EOL)至关重要。家庭在EOL中起着关键作用,但大多数研究都集中在主要照顾者的角色上。家庭网络对EOL利用的影响知之甚少。目的:研究家庭可用性和关系类型是否与心衰、慢性阻塞性肺病或两者合并的死者在生命最后6个月的住院率和ED发生率相关。方法:使用犹他州人口数据集,我们对60,142名年龄≥55岁的死亡成年人进行了回顾性队列分析,将其分为三个诊断组:仅HF (n = 51,222), HF+COPD(n = 8069)和仅COPD(n = 851)。“家庭可用性”定义为在死亡时有至少1个一级亲属居住在犹他州(n = 210 213)。负二项回归模型,调整了社会人口学和临床协变量,估计了诊断、家庭类型、住院和ED发生率之间的关联。结果:近80%的患者住院次数≥1次,38.9%的患者就诊次数≥1次。在调整后的模型中,诊断对使用率没有显著影响。与没有家庭的患者相比,只有配偶的患者ED就诊率最高(41.8%,IRR 1.07[1.02-1.12]),配偶的存在与住院率相关(82.4%,IRR 1.05[1.02-1.07]和80.3%,IRR 1.04[1.02-1.06])。结论:在HF和/或COPD患者中,配偶的存在与较高的急诊科就诊率和住院率相关。因为联系表明地理存在,而不是确认照顾,这些发现应谨慎解释。进一步的研究应侧重于为家庭成员提供姑息治疗技能,以优化临终关怀。
