摘要
背景:对COVID-19危重患者维持生命治疗(LST)决策的了解仍然有限。本研究旨在确定影响LST决定的因素,并比较LST患者和非LST患者的临床结果。方法:本多中心回顾性队列研究分析了2020年1月1日至2021年8月31日全国1081例新冠肺炎icu患者的数据。患者分为LST组和非LST组。收集并比较人口学、临床和结局数据。结果:1081例患者中,207例(19.2%)接受了LST治疗。LST患者年龄较大(中位年龄:76岁对67岁,p < 0.001),合并症较多(85.5%对70.4%,p < 0.001),特别是心血管和慢性肺部疾病。BUN升高,白蛋白降低,d -二聚体升高(p < 0.05)。ICU干预更常见,包括机械通气(82.6% vs. 50.9%, p < 0.001)和ECMO (18.8% vs. 9.8%, p < 0.001)。LST患者的ICU死亡率和住院死亡率均显著高于LST患者(分别为82.6%和94.2%,p < 0.001)。Logistic回归发现年龄(OR = 1.054 /年,p < 0.001)、机械通气(OR = 2.789, p = 0.002)和ECMO使用(OR = 3.580, p = 0.002)是LST的独立预测因子。结论:年龄、合并症和ICU干预措施显著影响LST的决定,强调了道德和循证重症监护指南的必要性。
Determinants of Limiting Life-Sustaining Treatment in Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients: A Multicenter Study in Korean ICUs.
Background: Understanding life-sustaining treatment (LST) decisions in critically ill COVID-19 patients remains limited. This study aimed to identify factors influencing LST decisions and compare clinical outcomes between patients with and without LST.
Methods: This multicenter, retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 1,081 COVID-19 patients admitted to ICUs across Korea from January 1, 2020, to August 31, 2021. Patients were divided into LST and non-LST groups. Demographic, clinical, and outcome data were collected and compared.
Results: Of 1,081 patients, 207 (19.2%) received LST. LST patients were older (median age: 76 vs. 67 years, p < 0.001) and had more comorbidities (85.5% vs. 70.4%, p < 0.001), particularly cardiovascular and chronic lung disease. They had higher BUN, lower albumin, and elevated D-dimer levels (all p < 0.05). ICU interventions, including mechanical ventilation (82.6% vs. 50.9%, p < 0.001) and ECMO (18.8% vs. 9.8%, p < 0.001), were more common. ICU and hospital mortality rates were significantly higher in LST patients (82.6% and 94.2%, respectively, p < 0.001). Logistic regression identified age (OR = 1.054 per year, p < 0.001), mechanical ventilation (OR = 2.789, p = 0.002), and ECMO use (OR = 3.580, p = 0.002) as independent predictors of LST.
Conclusion: Age, comorbidities, and ICU interventions significantly influence LST decisions, highlighting the need for ethical and evidence-based critical care guidelines.
