Abstract
Study objective
The lactate-to-albumin ratio (LAR) has been confirmed to be an effective prognostic marker in sepsis, heart failure, and acute respiratory failure. However, the relationship between LAR and mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains unclear. We aim to evaluate the predictive value of LAR for ARDS patients.
Design
A retrospective cohort study.
Setting
Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (v2.2) database.
Patients.
769 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).
Interventions
We divided the patients into two subgroups according to the primary study endpoint (28-days all-cause mortality): the 28-day survivors and the 28-day non-survivors.
Measures
Multivariate Cox Regression, Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) and Kaplan–Meier survival analysis were used to investigate the relationship between LAR and short-time mortality in patients with ARDS.
Main results
The 28-day mortality was 38 % in this study. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that LAR was an independent predictive factor for 28-day mortality (HR 1.11, 95 %CI: 1.06–1.16, P < 0.001). The area under curve (AUC) of LAR in the ROC was 70.34 % (95 %CI: 66.53 % - 74.15 %) that provided significantly higher discrimination compared with lactate (AUC = 68.00 %, P = 0.0007) or albumin (AUC = 63.17 %, P = 0.002) alone. LAR was also not inferior to SAPSII with the AUC of 73.44 % (95 %CI: 69.84 % - 77.04 %, P = 0.21). Additionally, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis displayed that ARDS patients with high LAR (> the cut-off value 0.9055) had a significantly higher 28-day overall mortality rate (P < 0.001) and in-hospital mortality rate (P < 0.001). However, patients in high LAR group had shorter length of hospital stay (P < 0.001), which might be caused by higher in-hospital mortality.
Conclusions
We confirmed that there was a positive correlation between LAR and 28-day mortality. This could provide anesthesiologists and critical care physicians with a more convenient tool than SAPSII without being superior for detecting ARDS patients with poor prognosis timely.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Anesthesia (JCA) addresses all aspects of anesthesia practice, including anesthetic administration, pharmacokinetics, preoperative and postoperative considerations, coexisting disease and other complicating factors, cost issues, and similar concerns anesthesiologists contend with daily. Exceptionally high standards of presentation and accuracy are maintained.
The core of the journal is original contributions on subjects relevant to clinical practice, and rigorously peer-reviewed. Highly respected international experts have joined together to form the Editorial Board, sharing their years of experience and clinical expertise. Specialized section editors cover the various subspecialties within the field. To keep your practical clinical skills current, the journal bridges the gap between the laboratory and the clinical practice of anesthesiology and critical care to clarify how new insights can improve daily practice.
