Prognosis for patients with cirrhosis admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) is poor. ICU prognostic models are more accurate than liver-specific models. We identified predictors of mortality, developed a novel prognostic score (Royal Free Hospital (RFH) score), and tested it against established prognostic models and the yet unvalidated Chronic Liver Failure-Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (CLIF-SOFA) model.
Predictors of mortality were defined by logistic regression in a cohort of 635 consecutive patients with cirrhosis admitted to ICU (1989-2012). The RFH score was derived using a 75% training and 25% validation set. Predictive accuracy and calibration were evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) and goodness-of-fit χ(2) for the RFH score, as well as for SOFA, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II), and Child-Pugh. CLIF-SOFA was applied to a recent subset (2005-2012) of patients.
In-hospital mortality was 52.3%. Mortality improved over time but with a corresponding reduction in acuity of illness on admission. Predictors of mortality in training set, which constituted the RFH score, were the following: bilirubin, international normalized ratio, lactate, alveolar arterial partial pressure oxygen gradient, urea, while variceal bleeding as indication for admission conferred lesser risk. Classification accuracy was 73.4% in training and 76.7% in validation sample and did not change significantly across different eras of admission. The AUROC for the derived model was 0.83 and the goodness-of-fit χ(2) was 3.74 (P=0.88). AUROC for SOFA was 0.81, MELD was 0.79, APACHE II was 0.78, and Child-Pugh was 0.67. In 2005-2012 cohort, AUROC was: SOFA: 0.74, CLIF-SOFA: 0.75, and RFH: 0.78. Goodness-of-fit χ(2) was: SOFA: 6.21 (P=0.63), CLIF-SOFA: 9.18 (P=0.33), and RFH: 2.91 (P=0.94).
RFH score demonstrated good discriminative ability and calibration. Internal validation supports its generalizability. CLIF-SOFA did not perform better than RFH and the original SOFA. External validation of our model should be undertaken to confirm its clinical utility.
入住重症监护病房(ICU)的肝硬化患者预后较差。与肝脏特异性模型相比, ICU 预后模型更准确。我们确定了死亡率的预测因素,制定了新的预后评分(皇家自由医院(RFH)评分),并对其进行了评估与现有预后模型和尚未验证的慢性肝衰竭-序贯器官衰竭评估(CLIF-SOFA)模型进行比较。
使用 635 例连续肝硬化患者队列(1989-2012 年)中的逻辑回归确定死亡率的预测因素。使用 75%的训练集和 25%的验证集得出 RFH 评分。使用受试者工作特征曲线下的面积(AUROC)和 RFH 评分的拟合优度χ²评估预测准确性和校准,以及 SOFA、终末期肝病模型(MELD)、急性生理学和慢性健康评估(APACHE II)和 Child-Pugh。CLIF-SOFA 应用于最近的患者子集(2005-2012 年)。
院内死亡率为 52.3%。随着时间的推移,死亡率有所改善,但入院时疾病的严重程度相应降低。在训练集中,死亡率的预测因素为胆红素、国际标准化比值、乳酸、肺泡动脉部分氧分压梯度、尿素,而入院时静脉曲张出血的指示则降低了风险。在训练和验证样本中的分类准确性分别为 73.4%和 76.7%,且在不同入院时期均无显著变化。该模型的 AUROC 为 0.83,拟合优度 χ²为 3.74(P=0.88)。SOFA 的 AUROC 为 0.81,MELD 为 0.79,APACHE II 为 0.78,Child-Pugh 为 0.67。在 2005-2012 年队列中,AUROC 为:SOFA:0.74,CLIF-SOFA:0.75,RFH:0.78。拟合优度 χ²为:SOFA:6.21(P=0.63),CLIF-SOFA:9.18(P=0.33),RFH:2.91(P=0.94)。
RFH 评分显示出良好的判别能力和校准能力。内部验证支持其通用性。CLIF-SOFA 并未比 RFH 和原始 SOFA 表现更好。应进行模型的外部验证,以确认其临床实用性。
