Abstract Background: High-flow nasal cannula oxygenation (HFNC) and noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) possibly decrease tracheal reintubation rates better than conventional oxygen therapy (COT); however, few large-scale studies have compared HFNC and NPPV. We conducted a network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare the effectiveness of three post-extubation respiratory support devices (HFNC, NPPV, COT) in reducing the mortality and reintubation risk.Methods: The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Ichushi databases were searched. COT, NPPV, and HFNC use were assessed in patients aged ≥16 years who underwent invasive mechanical ventilation for >12 hours for acute respiratory failure and were scheduled for extubation after spontaneous breathing trials. The GRADE Working Group Approach was performed using a frequentist-based approach with multivariate random-effects meta-analysis. Short-term mortality and reintubation and post-extubation respiratory failure rates were compared. Results: After evaluating 4,631 records, 15 studies and 2,600 patients were included. The main cause of acute hypoxic respiratory failure was pneumonia. Although NPPV/HFNC use did not significantly lower the mortality risk (relative risk [95% confidence interval], 0.75 [0.53–1.06] and 0.92 [0.67–1.27]; low and moderate certainty, respectively), HFNC use significantly lowered the reintubation risk (0.54 [0.32–0.89]; high certainty) compared with COT use. The associations of mortality with NPPV and HFNC in either outcome did not differ significantly (short-term mortality and reintubation, relative risk [95% confidence interval], 0.81 [0.61–1.08] and 1.02 [0.53–1.97]; moderate and very low certainty, respectively).Conclusion: NPPV or HFNC use may reduce endotracheal reintubation risk, but not short-term mortality risk.Trial registration number and date of registrationPROSPERO (registration number: CRD42020139112, 01/21/2020).

Abstract Introduction Cardiogenic shock is linked with eminent morbidity and mortality despite advances in treatment modality. Adjuvant treatment modalities to provide mechanical haemodynamic support in the form of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) or Impella are being used among patients with cardiogenic shock. The Impella prunes left ventricular preload, whereas, IABP persuades after load reduction and both contribute to improved cardiac output. A few underpowered randomised control trials (RCTs) and observational studies compared short term mortality benefit of Impella juxtaposed to IABP among patients with cardiogenic shock. Purpose A meta-analysis of RCTs and observational studies researching the short-term mortality in cardiogenic shock comparing Impella to IABP was executed. Methods The databases PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane were searched systematically to identify relevant RCTs and observational studies contrasting Impella to IABP and reporting 30-days mortality as outcomes. The search terms used were “Impella”, “IAPB”, “intra-aortic balloon pump” and all word variations were utilised. The search was conducted from the debut of the databases up to January 2020. Two reviewers independently and in tandem performed data screening and extraction from identified articles. Inverse variance method with Paule-Mandel estimator for tau2 and Hartung-Knapp adjustment was used to calculate Risk Ratio with 95% confidence interval. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2 statistics. Furthermore, we calculated the 95% predictive interval for the pooled estimate. All statistical analysis for this meta-analysis was carried out using R statistical software version 3.6.2 using the package meta ( ). Additionally, Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) criteria were used to assess the certainty of evidence. Results Five studies constituting 728 patients were included in the final analysis. Two were RCTs (ISAR-SHOCK trial and IMPRESS in Severe Shock trial), one study was a propensity score matched observational study and two were unmatched observational studies. There was no difference in the risk of 30-days mortality in patients treated with Impella as compared to IABP [Risk Ratio: 0.97, 95% confidence interval: 0.66–1.41, I2: 32%]. To account for the heterogeneity, we calculated 95% predictive interval: 0.46–2.02. Thus, very low certainty of evidence concluded no difference in the risk of 30-days mortality among cardiogenic shock patients treated with Impella in opposition to IABP. Conclusion This meta-analysis comparing Impella juxtaposed with IABP demonstrated no difference in the risk of 30-days mortality among patients with cardiogenic shock. 30-days Mortality Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Background: The prevalence and prognostic implications of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in patients infected by the SARS-CoV-2 remain unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of prevalence and mortality risk in COVID-19 patients with MetS. Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed in abstracting data and assessing validity. We searched MEDLINE and Scopus to locate every article published up to 1 September 2021, reporting data on MetS among COVID-19 patients. The pooled prevalence of MetS was calculated using a random effects model and presented using the related 95% confidence interval (CI), while the mortality risk was estimated using the Mantel-Haenszel random effects models with odds ratio (OR) and related 95% CI. Statistical heterogeneity was measured using the Higgins I2 statistic. Results: Six studies, enrolling 209.569 COVID-19 patients [mean age 57.2 years, 114.188 males (54.4%)] met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. The pooled prevalence of dyslipidaemia was 20.5% of cases (95% CI: 6.7–47.8%, p = 0.03), with high heterogeneity (I2 = 98.9%). Pre-existing MetS was significantly associated with higher risk of short-term mortality (OR: 2.30, 95% CI: 1.52–3.45, p < 0.001), with high heterogeneity (I2 = 89.4%). Meta-regression showed a direct correlation with male gender (p = 0.03), hypertension (p < 0.001), DM (p = 0.01) and hyperlipidaemia (p = 0.04), but no effect when considering age (p = 0.75) and chronic pulmonary disease (p = 0.86) as moderators. Conclusions: MetS represents a major comorbidity in about 20% of COVID-19 patients and it is associated with a 230% increased risk of short-term mortality.

Abstract Background Noninvasive respiratory support devices may reduce the tracheal intubation rate compared with conventional oxygen therapy (COT). To date, few studies have compared high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) use with noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV). We conducted a network meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness of three respiratory support devices in patients with acute respiratory failure. Methods The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Ichushi databases were searched. Studies including adults aged ≥ 16 years with acute hypoxic respiratory failure and randomized-controlled trials that compared two different oxygenation devices (COT, NPPV, or HFNC) before tracheal intubation were included. A frequentist-based approach with a multivariate random-effects meta-analysis was used. The network meta-analysis was performed using the GRADE Working Group approach. The outcomes were short-term mortality and intubation rate. Results Among 5507 records, 27 studies (4618 patients) were included. The main cause of acute hypoxic respiratory failure was pneumonia. Compared with COT, NPPV and HFNC use tended to reduce mortality (relative risk, 0.88 and 0.93, respectively; 95% confidence intervals, 0.76–1.01 and 0.80–1.08, respectively; both low certainty) and lower the risk of endotracheal intubation (0.81 and 0.78; 0.72–0.91 and 0.68–0.89, respectively; both low certainty); however, short-term mortality or intubation rates did not differ (0.94 and 1.04, respectively; 0.78–1.15 and 0.88–1.22, respectively; both low certainty) between NPPV and HFNC use. Conclusion NPPV and HFNC use are associated with a decreased risk of endotracheal intubation; however, there are no significant differences in short-term mortality.

Abstract Objectives: Acute respiratory failure is significantly related to increased short-term mortality in sepsis patients. We aimed to develop a novel prognosis model for predicting the risk for hospital mortality in sepsis patients with acute respiratory failure.Methods: We researched the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database, and developed a matched cohort of adult sepsis with acute respiratory failure. After applying multivariate Cox regression, a nomogram was developed based on identified risk factors of the mortality in the cohort. Besides, the discrimination of the nomogram in predicting individual hospital death was evaluated by the area under o the characteristic operating curve (ROC).Results: A total of 663 sepsis patients with acute respiratory failure were included in this study. Systolic blood pressure, white blood cell count, neutrophils, mechanical ventilation, PaO2 < 60mmHg, abdominal cavity infection, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and immunosuppressive disease were the independent risk predictors of the mortality in sepsis patients with acute respiratory failure. The area under curve of the nomogram in the ROC was 0.880 (95% CI: 0.851-0.908) that provided significantly higher discrimination compared with simplified acute physiology score II [0.656 (95% CI: 0.612-0.701)].Conclusion: The model has good performance in predicting the mortality risk of sepsis patients with acute respiratory failure, and it can be clinically useful to evaluate the short-term prognosis in critically ill patients with sepsis and acute respiratory failure.

Background: Although the lungs are potentially highly susceptible to post-cardiac arrest syndrome injury, the issue of acute respiratory failure after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has not been investigated. The objectives of this analysis were to determine the prevalence of acute respiratory failure after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, its association with post-cardiac arrest syndrome inflammatory response and to clarify its importance for early mortality. Methods: The Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome (PCAS) pilot study was a prospective, observational, six-centre project (Poland 2, Denmark 1, Spain 1, Italy 1, UK 1), studying patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of cardiac origin. Primary outcomes were: (a) the profile of organ failure within the first 72 hours after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; (b) in-hospital and short-term mortality, up to 30 days of follow-up. Respiratory failure was defined using a modified version of the Berlin acute respiratory distress syndrome definition. Inflammatory response was defined using leukocytes (white blood cells), platelet count and C-reactive protein concentration. All parameters were assessed every 24 hours, from admission until 72 hours of stay. Results: Overall, 148 patients (age 62.9±15.27 years; 27.7% women) were included. Acute respiratory failure was noted in between 50 (33.8%) and 75 (50.7%) patients over the first 72 hours. In-hospital and short-term mortality was 68 (46.9%) and 72 (48.6%), respectively. Inflammation was significantly associated with the risk of acute respiratory failure, with the highest cumulative odds ratio of 748 at 72 hours (C-reactive protein 1.035 (1.001–1.070); 0.043, white blood cells 1.086 (1.039–1.136); 0.001, platelets 1.004 (1.001–1.007); <0.005). Early acute respiratory failure was related to in-hospital mortality (3.172, 95% confidence interval 1.496–6.725; 0.002) and to short-term mortality (3.335 (1.815–6.129); 0.0001). Conclusions: An inflammatory response is significantly associated with acute respiratory failure early after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Acute respiratory failure is associated with a worse early prognosis after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Introduction. The prevalence and prognostic implications of anemia in patients infected by the SARS-CoV-2 remains unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the prevalence and mortality risk in COVID-19 patients with anemia. Methods. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed in abstracting data and assessing validity. We searched MEDLINE and Scopus to locate all the articles published up to 1 September 2021, reporting data on the adjusted OR (aOR) for mortality among COVID-19 patients with anemia. The pooled prevalence of anemia among COVID-19 patients was calculated using a random effects model and presenting the related 95% confidence interval (CI), while the mortality risk was estimated using the Mantel-Haenszel random effects models with odds ratio (aOR) and related 95% CI. Statistical heterogeneity was measured using the Higgins I2 statistic. Results. Five studies, enrolling 9.623 COVID-19 patients [3.707 males (38.5%)], met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. The pooled prevalence of anemia was 25.6% of cases (95% CI: 8.3–56.5%), with high heterogeneity (I2 = 98.9%). Meta-regression showed that the anemia prevalence was influenced by a direct correlation with age (p = 0.007) and chronic kidney disease (p = 0.004) as moderating variables. Conversely, an inverse relationship was observed with male gender (p < 0.0001). Anemia was significantly associated with higher risk of short-term mortality (aOR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.28–2.24, p < 0.001), with low heterogeneity (I2 = 0%). Conclusions. Anemia represents a major comorbidity in about 25% of COVID-19 patients and it is associated with about 70% higher risk of short-term mortality.
