In a previous study we showed that troponin I (TnI) > 0.42 ng/mL predicted the need of dialysis in a group of 29 septic patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). We aimed to confirm such finding in a larger independent sample.
All septic patients admitted to an ICU from March 2016 to February 2017 were included if age between 18 and 90 years, onset of sepsis < 24 h, normal left ventricular ejection fraction, and no previous coronary or kidney diseases. TnI was measured on day 1. Patients were followed by 30 days or until death.
A total of 120 patients were included (51% male, 74 ± 13 years old). At ICU admission, 70 patients had TnI > 0.42 ng/mL. These patients had serum creatinine slightly higher (1.66 ± 0.34 vs. 1.32 ± 0.39 mg/dL; P < 0.0001) than those with lower TnI and similar urine output (1490 ± 682 vs. 1406 ± 631 mL; P = 0.44). At the end of the follow-up period, 70.0% of the patients with lower TnI were alive in comparison with 38.6% of those with higher TnI (p = 0.0014). After 30 days, 69.3 and 2.9% of the patients with lower and higher TnI levels remained free of dialysis, respectively (p < 0.0001). In a Cox regression model, after adjustment for gender, age, Charlson comorbidity index, serum creatinine, potassium, pH, brain natriuretic peptide and urine output, TnI > 0.42 ng/mL persisted as a strong predictor of dialysis need (hazard ratio 3.48 [95%CI 1.69-7.18]).
TnI levels at ICU admission are a strong independent predictor of dialysis need in sepsis.
在之前的研究中,我们发现肌钙蛋白 I(TnI)>0.42ng/mL 可预测 29 例入住重症监护病房(ICU)的败血症患者需要透析。我们旨在更大的独立样本中证实这一发现。
所有年龄在 18 至 90 岁之间、败血症发病时间<24 小时、左心室射血分数正常且无既往冠心病或肾病的 ICU 败血症患者均纳入研究。TnI 于入院第 1 天进行检测。患者随访 30 天或直至死亡。
共纳入 120 例患者(51%为男性,74±13 岁)。入 ICU 时,70 例患者的 TnI >0.42ng/mL。这些患者的血清肌酐略高(1.66±0.34 比 1.32±0.39mg/dL;P<0.0001),但尿液输出量相似(1490±682 比 1406±631mL;P=0.44)。在随访期末,TnI 较低组的 70.0%患者存活,而 TnI 较高组的 38.6%患者存活(P=0.0014)。30 天后,TnI 较低和较高组分别有 69.3%和 2.9%的患者未接受透析(P<0.0001)。在 Cox 回归模型中,在校正性别、年龄、Charlson 合并症指数、血清肌酐、钾、pH 值、脑钠肽和尿量后,TnI >0.42ng/mL 仍然是透析需求的强预测因子(风险比 3.48[95%CI 1.69-7.18])。
入住 ICU 时的 TnI 水平是败血症患者透析需求的一个强有力的独立预测因子。
