Abstract
Background
The use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices in cardiogenic shock is growing. We aim to study trends and compare different MCS modalities in this population.
Methods
The National Readmission Database (2016-2020) was queried to identify TTC-CS requiring MCS. Cohorts were stratified as ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) compared to other short-term percutaneous left ventricular assist devices (Impella). The propensity score matching (PSM) was used to remove confounders. Pearson’s x2 test was applied to PSM-matched cohorts to compare outcomes. Additionally, we used multivariate regression and reported predictive margins for adjusted trend analysis.
Results
Among 2,025 TTC-CS hospitalizations requiring MCS, 1,790 required Impella vs. 235 on ECMO. ECMO was more common in metropolitan teaching hospitals (72.2 % vs 56.1 %, p < 0.05). On PSM cohorts (N = 131), ECMO had higher in-hospital mortality (38.9 % vs. 20.6 %, p < 0.001), major bleeding (15.3 % vs. 2.3 %, p < 0.001), acute blood loss anemia (48.9 % vs. 19.1 %, p < 0.001) among others. Our subgroup analysis comparing ECMO when Left ventricular (LV) unloading was provided by either IABP or Impella, and Impella alone showed no difference in the short-term mortality (42.2 % vs. 33.3 %, p: 0.384). However, the rates of major bleeding (17.8 % vs. 0.0 %, p: 0.003) and acute blood loss anemia (55.6 % vs. 22.2 %, p: 0.001) were higher for ECMO cohort.
Conclusion
In the absence of LV unloading, the ECMO utilization in TTC-CS had higher mortality and adverse events than Impella. The mortality difference was nonsignificant when concomitant LV unloading was provided with Impella or IABP in these patients.
机械循环支持(MCS)装置在心源性休克中的应用越来越广泛。我们的目标是研究趋势并比较这一人群中不同的MCS模式。方法查询全国再入院数据库(2016-2020),确定需要MCS的TTC-CS。将队列按ECMO(体外膜氧合)与其他短期经皮左心室辅助装置(Impella)进行分层。使用倾向评分匹配(PSM)去除混杂因素。Pearson 's x2检验应用于psm匹配的队列来比较结果。此外,我们使用多元回归并报告了调整趋势分析的预测边际。结果在2025例需要MCS的TTC-CS住院患者中,1790例需要Impella, 235例需要ECMO。ECMO在大城市教学医院更为常见(72.2% vs 56.1%, p <;0.05)。在PSM队列(N = 131)中,ECMO有更高的院内死亡率(38.9% vs. 20.6%, p <;0.001),大出血(15.3% vs. 2.3%, p <;0.001),急性失血性贫血(48.9% vs. 19.1%, p <;0.001)等。我们的亚组分析比较了IABP或Impella提供左室(LV)卸载时的ECMO,和Impella单独提供的短期死亡率没有差异(42.2% vs 33.3%, p: 0.384)。然而,ECMO组的大出血(17.8% vs. 0.0%, p: 0.003)和急性失血性贫血(55.6% vs. 22.2%, p: 0.001)发生率较高。结论在没有左室卸荷的情况下,TTC-CS的ECMO使用死亡率和不良事件均高于Impella。在这些患者中,当同时卸下左室并给予Impella或IABP时,死亡率差异不显著。
