The relationship between fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index and clinical outcomes in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) is unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between FIB-4 index and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with AKI.
We used data from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database (v1.4). The FIB-4 score was calculated using the existing formulas. logistic regression model, and Cox proportional hazards model were used to assessed the relationship between the FIB-4 index and in-hospital,28-day and 90-day mortality, respectively.
A total of 3592 patients with AKI included in the data analysis. 395 (10.99%) patients died during hospitalization and 458 (12.74%) patients died in 28-day. During the 90-day follow-up, 893 (22.54%) patients were dead. An elevated FIB-4 value was significantly associated with increased in-hospital mortality when used as a continuous variable (odds ratio [OR] 1.183, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.072-1.305, P = 0.002) and as a quartile variable (OR of Q2 to Q4 1.216-1.744, with Q1 as reference). FIB-4 was positively associated with 28-day mortality of AKI patients with hazard ratio (HR) of 1.097 (95% CI 1.008, 1.194) and 1.098 (95% 1.032, 1.167) for 90-day mortality, respectively.
This study demonstrated the FIB-4 index is associated with clinical outcomes in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury.
纤维化 4 指数(FIB-4)与急性肾损伤(AKI)患者的临床结局之间的关系尚不清楚。我们旨在研究 FIB-4 指数与 AKI 重症患者全因死亡率之间的关系。
我们使用 Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care III(MIMIC-III)数据库(v1.4)中的数据。使用现有的公式计算 FIB-4 评分。使用逻辑回归模型和 Cox 比例风险模型分别评估 FIB-4 指数与住院期间、28 天和 90 天死亡率之间的关系。
共有 3592 例 AKI 患者纳入数据分析。395 例(10.99%)患者住院期间死亡,458 例(12.74%)患者在 28 天内死亡。在 90 天随访期间,有 893 例(22.54%)患者死亡。当 FIB-4 值作为连续变量(优势比[OR]1.183,95%置信区间[CI]1.072-1.305,P=0.002)和四分位数变量(Q2 至 Q4 的 OR 为 1.216-1.744,以 Q1 为参考)使用时,升高的 FIB-4 值与住院期间死亡率显著相关。FIB-4 与 AKI 患者 28 天死亡率呈正相关,风险比(HR)为 1.097(95%CI1.008,1.194)和 90 天死亡率的 1.098(95%CI1.032,1.167)。
本研究表明,FIB-4 指数与 AKI 重症患者的临床结局相关。
