U-shaped relationship between serum phosphate levels and mortality in critically ill patients with atrial fibrillation: Insights from the MIMIC-IV database
Introduction
Atrial fibrillation (AF), a common arrhythmia in critically ill patients, significantly affects prognosis. While phosphate disturbances are strongly associated with cardiovascular risks, the impact of serum phosphate on critically ill AF patients' prognosis remains uncertain.
Methods
Utilizing data from the MIMIC-IV database, we retrospectively analyzed 11,744 critically ill AF patients. The primary outcome was 30-day all-cause mortality, with secondary outcomes at 90 days and 1 year. Cox regression models quantified the association between serum phosphate and mortality. Nonlinear associations were evaluated using restricted cubic splines (RCS), with inflection points further characterized through segmented Cox proportional hazards model.
Results
Mortality rates at 30 days, 90 days, and 1 year were 12.7 %, 14.4 %, and 15.8 %, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed higher mortality in patients with high phosphate levels. Adjusted Cox regression demonstrated that hyperphosphatemia independently predicted increased mortality at 30 days (HR: 1.55, 95 % CI: 1.36–1.78, p < 0.001), 90 days (HR: 1.55, 95 % CI: 1.37–1.76, p < 0.001), and 1 year (HR: 1.57, 95 % CI: 1.39–1.77, p < 0.001). RCS and two-piece Cox regression revealed a U-shaped nonlinear relationship between serum phosphate and mortality, with risk decreasing below a threshold and increasing above it. Similar patterns were observed across all time points.
Conclusion
Our findings demonstrated a U-shaped relationship between serum phosphate levels and mortality in critically ill AF patients, highlighting the importance of maintaining optimal phosphate levels in managing this population.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Cardiology is devoted to cardiology in the broadest sense. Both basic research and clinical papers can be submitted. The journal serves the interest of both practicing clinicians and researchers.
In addition to original papers, we are launching a range of new manuscript types, including Consensus and Position Papers, Systematic Reviews, Meta-analyses, and Short communications. Case reports are no longer acceptable. Controversial techniques, issues on health policy and social medicine are discussed and serve as useful tools for encouraging debate.
