COPD is associated with cardiovascular and renal dysfunction. Cystatin C (CysC) is a biomarker of renal function and an independent risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among elderly persons. The aim of the study was to examine the prognostic role of CysC for in-hospital mortality in subjects with a COPD exacerbation.
Upon admission, serum CysC levels and arterial blood gas analysis from 477 subjects with a COPD exacerbation were measured. Clinical characteristics were also recorded. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the level of CysC that discriminated survivors from non-survivors. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors for in-hospital mortality. To reduce the influence of confounders, subgroup analyses were performed according to the comorbidities, including states of heart failure, renal dysfunction, and pH, PaCO2 , and PaO2 levels.
During the in-hospital period, 59 subjects died, and 418 subjects recovered. The decedent group showed lower pH (7.27 ± 0.17 vs 7.38 ± 0.06, P < .001), higher CysC (2.21 ± 1.05 mg/L vs 1.39 ± 0.54 mg/L, P < .001), higher PaCO2 (77 ± 39 mm Hg vs 48 ± 14 mm Hg, P < .001), and lower PaO2 (74 ± 32 mm Hg vs 84 ± 26 mm Hg, P < .001) levels. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the CysC prediction of death was 0.77 (95% CI 0.70-0.84). CysC values ≥1.59 mg/L were associated with significantly higher in-hospital mortality (relative risk = 5.49, 95% CI 3.24-9.32, P < .001). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that pH <7.20, CysC ≥1.59 mg/L, and heart failure were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. The subgroup analysis showed that the comorbid states of renal dysfunction, congestive heart failure, and the levels of pH, PaCO2 , and PaO2 did not alter the conclusion that CysC was a mortality risk factor for subjects with a COPD exacerbation.
CysC was a strong and independent risk factor for hospital mortality secondary to COPD exacerbation.
慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）与心血管和肾功能障碍相关。胱抑素C（CysC）是肾功能的生物标志物，也是老年人全因死亡和心血管死亡的独立危险因素。本研究旨在探讨CysC在COPD急性加重患者住院死亡率中的预后作用。
纳入477例COPD急性加重患者，入院时检测血清CysC水平并进行动脉血气分析，同时记录临床特征。采用受试者工作特征曲线分析确定区分存活者与非存活者的CysC水平。采用单因素和多因素logistic回归分析确定住院死亡率的危险因素。为减少混杂因素的影响，根据合并症进行亚组分析，包括心力衰竭、肾功能障碍状态以及pH、PaCO2和PaO2水平。
住院期间，59例患者死亡，418例患者康复。死亡组患者的pH值较低（7.27±0.17 vs 7.38±0.06，P<.001），CysC水平较高（2.21±1.05 mg/L vs 1.39±0.54 mg/L，P<.001），PaCO2水平较高（77±39 mmHg vs 48±14 mmHg，P<.001），PaO2水平较低（74±32 mmHg vs 84±26 mmHg，P<.001）。CysC预测死亡的受试者工作特征曲线下面积为0.77（95%CI 0.70-0.84）。CysC值≥1.59 mg/L与住院死亡率显著升高相关（相对风险=5.49，95%CI 3.24-9.32，P<.001）。多因素logistic回归分析显示，pH<7.20、CysC≥1.59 mg/L和心力衰竭是住院死亡率的独立预测因素。亚组分析显示，肾功能障碍、充血性心力衰竭的合并状态以及pH、PaCO2和PaO2水平并未改变CysC是COPD急性加重患者死亡风险因素的结论。
CysC是COPD急性加重继发医院死亡的一个强有力的独立危险因素。
