The association between blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and prognosis has been the focus of recent research. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the association between BUN and hospital mortality in critically ill patients with cardiogenic shock (CS). This was a retrospective cohort study, in which data were obtained from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III V1.4 database. Data from 697 patients with CS were analyzed. Logistic regression and subgroup analyses were used to assess the association between BUN and hospital mortality in patients with CS. The average age of the 697 participants was 71.14 years, and approximately 42.18% were men. In the multivariate logistic regression model, after adjusting for age, sex, diabetes, cardiac arrhythmias, urine output, simplified acute physiology score II, sequential organ failure assessment, creatinine, anion gap, and heart rate, high BUN demonstrated strong associations with increased in-hospital mortality (per standard deviation increase: odds ratio [OR] 1.47, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13–1.92). A similar result was observed in BUN tertile groups (BUN 23–37 mg/dL versus 6–22 mg/dL: OR [95% CI], 1.42 [0.86–2.34]; BUN 38–165 mg/dL versus 6–22 mg/dL: OR [95% CI], 1.99 [1.10–3.62]; P trend 0.0272). Subgroup analysis did not reveal any significant interactions among various subgroups, and higher BUN was associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with CS.

Abstract BackgroundAlthough milrinone has been widely used in daily clinical practice, its effect on survival in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) is not known. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of milrinone on in hospital mortality in a large critical care cohort of patients with CS of various etiological causes.MethodsPatients with CS were identified from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to account for the baseline differences in the probability to receive milrinone or not. Multivariate Cox regression model was employed to adjust for imbalance by including parameters and potential confounders.ResultsA total of 1068 critically ill patients with CS were enrolled for this analysis, including 161 in the milrinone group and 907 in the non-milrinone group. Multivariate Cox regression model results found milrinone was associated with a significantly decreased in hospital mortality in critically ill patients with CS (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.45-0.83; P=0.001). The impact of milrinone on survival benefit in CS was remaining in patients with non-ACS, while it was not statistically significant in subgroup with ACS (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.40-1.07; P=0.093). Similar results were replicated after PSM.ConclusionsOur study observed that milrinone was related with improved survival in patients with CS, but it was not associated with improved outcome in patients complicated with ACS. The results need to be verified in randomized controlled trials.

Background and purpose: Our aim was to investigate the associations between dehydration status at admission and in-hospital mortality in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods: Data of consecutive patients with intracerebral hemorrhage between August 2015 and July 2019 based on China Stroke Center Alliance (CSCA) were analyzed. The patients were stratified based on the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to creatinine (CR) ratio (BUN/CR) on admission, into dehydrated (BUN/CR ≥ 15) and non-dehydrated (BUN/CR < 15) groups. Data were analyzed with multi-variate logistic regression models to analyze the risks of death at hospital and baseline dehydration status. Results: A total number of 84043 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage were included in the study. The median age of patients on admission was 63.0 years, and 37.5% of them were women. Based on the baseline BUN/CR, 59153 (70.4%) patients were classified into dehydration group. Patients with admission dehydration (BUN/CR ≥ 15) had 13% lower risks of in-hospital mortality than those without dehydration (BUN/CR < 15, adjusted OR=0.87, 95%CI: [0.78-0.96]). In patients aged <65 years, patients with baseline dehydration (BUN/CR ≥ 15) showed 19% lower risks of in-hospital mortality (adjusted OR=0.81, 95%CI: [0.70-0.94].adjusted p=0.0049) than non-dehydrated patients (BUN/CR<15). Conclusion: Admission dehydration is associated with lower in-hospital mortality in intracerebral hemorrhage,which provides an imaging clue that fluid management could be important for acute intracerebral hemorrhage.

Background: Magnesium, the fourth most abundant mineral nutrient in our body, plays a critical role in regulating ion channels and energy generation, intracardiac conduction, and myocardial contraction. In this study, we assessed the association of admission serum magnesium level with all-cause in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods: Clinical data were extracted from the eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD). Only the data for the first intensive care unit (ICU) admission of each patient were used, and baseline data were extracted within 24 h after ICU admission. Logistic regression, Cox regression, and subgroup analyses were conducted to determine the relationship between admission serum magnesium level and 30-day in-hospital mortality in ICU patients with AMI.Results: A total of 9,005 eligible patients were included. In the logistic regression analysis, serum magnesium at 2.2 to ≤2.4 and &gt;2.4 mg/dl levels were both significant predictors of all-cause in-hospital mortality in AMI patients. Moreover, serum magnesium of 2.2 to ≤2.4 mg/dl showed higher risk of in-hospital mortality than magnesium of &gt;2.4 mg/dl (adjusted odds ratio, 1.63 vs. 1.39). The Cox regression analysis yielded similar results (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.36 vs. 1.25).Conclusions: High-normal serum magnesium and hypermagnesemia may be useful and easier predictors for 30-day in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with AMI.

Abstract Background Increased acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence is linked with coadministration of vancomycin (VAN) and piperacillin-tazobactam (TZP) in the general hospital population when compared with VAN and cefepime (FEP); however, this phenomenon was not found in critically ill patients. Methods Patients receiving VAN in combination with FEP or TZP for at least 48 hours during an intensive care unit stay were included in this retrospective review. AKI was defined with the Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, and End-stage (RIFLE) criteria. Exposure to common nephrotoxins was captured within 24 hours of combination therapy initiation through the entire treatment window. Basic descriptive statistics were performed, along with bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models of AKI odds. Results In total, 2230 patients were included, with 773 receiving FEP+VAN and 1457 receiving TZP+VAN. The groups were well balanced at baseline in most covariates, with the exception of hepatorenal syndrome diagnosis (TZP+VAN 1.4% vs. FEP+VAN 0.3%, P = 0.02) and vasopressor exposure (TZP+VAN 26.2% vs 21.5%, P = 0.01) being more common in the TZP+VAN group. Patients in the FEP+VAN group had a higher underlying severity of disease (Charlson comorbidity index [CCI] 2.7 vs. 2.3, P =0.0002). AKI incidence was higher in the TZP+VAN cohort (35.1% vs. 26.5%, P = 0.00004), with each stratification of the RIFLE criteria being higher. The time until onset of AKI was similar between groups (TZP+VAN median 1 [0–3] days vs. FEP+VAN 1 [0–4] days, P =0.2). After multivariable logistic regression, TZP+VAN therapy was associated with an adjust odds ratio (aOR) of AKI of 1.54 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.25–1.89) compared with FEP+VAN. Other variables associated with increased odds of AKI included: age &gt;= 65, duration of antibiotic therapy, higher baseline renal function, sepsis, endocarditis, hepatorenal syndrome, thiazide diuretic exposure, and increased CCI. Conclusion Treatment with TZP+VAN is associated with significant increases in AKI incidence among critically ill patients, independent of other risks for AKI.

Background. Although serum calcium has been proven to be a predictor of mortality in a wide range of diseases, its prognostic value in critically ill patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) remains unknown. This retrospective observational study is aimed at investigating the association of admission calcium with mortality among CS patients. Methods. Critically ill patients diagnosed with CS in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-III (MIMIC-III) database were included in our study. The study endpoints included 30-day, 90-day, and 365-day all-cause mortalities. First, admission serum ionized calcium (iCa) and total calcium (tCa) levels were analyzed as continuous variables using restricted cubic spline Cox regression models to evaluate the possible nonlinear relationship between serum calcium and mortality. Second, patients with CS were assigned to four groups according to the quartiles (Q1-Q4) of serum iCa and tCa levels, respectively. In addition, multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to assess the independent association of the quartiles of iCa and tCa with clinical outcomes. Results. A total of 921 patients hospitalized with CS were enrolled in this study. A nonlinear relationship between serum calcium levels and 30-day mortality was observed (all P values for nonlinear trend < 0.001 ). Furthermore, multivariable Cox analysis showed that compared with the reference quartile (Q3: 1.11 ≤ iCa < 1.17   mmol / L ), the lowest serum iCa level quartile (Q1: iCa < 1.04   mmol / L ) was independently associated with an increased risk of 30-day mortality (Q1 vs. Q3: HR 1.35, 95% CI 1.00-1.83, P = 0.049 ), 90-day mortality (Q1 vs. Q3: HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.03-1.80, P = 0.030 ), and 365-day mortality (Q1 vs. Q3: HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.01-1.67, P = 0.046 ) in patients with CS. Conclusions. Lower serum iCa levels on admission were potential predictors of an increased risk of mortality in critically ill patients with CS.

Background and Purpose: Our aim was to investigate the frequency of dehydration at admission and associations with in-hospital mortality in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods: Data of consecutive patients with ICH between August 2015 and July 2019 from the China Stroke Center Alliance (CSCA) registry were analyzed. The patients were stratified based on the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to creatinine (CR) ratio (BUN/CR) on admission into dehydrated (BUN/CR ≥ 15) or non-dehydrated (BUN/CR &lt; 15) groups. Data were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression models to investigate admission dehydration status and the risks of death at hospital.Results: A total number of 84,043 patients with ICH were included in the study. The median age of patients on admission was 63.0 years, and 37.5% of them were women. Based on the baseline BUN/CR, 59,153 (70.4%) patients were classified into dehydration group. Patients with admission dehydration (BUN/CR ≥ 15) had 13% lower risks of in-hospital mortality than those without dehydration (BUN/CR &lt; 15, adjusted OR = 0.87, 95%CI 0.78–0.96). In patients aged &lt;65 years, admission dehydration was associated with 19% lower risks of in-hospital mortality (adjusted OR = 0.81, 95%CI 0.70–0.94. adjusted p = 0.0049) than non-dehydrated patients.Conclusion: Admission dehydration is associated with significantly lower in-hospital mortality after ICH, in particular, in patients &lt;65 years old.
