Abstract

BACKGROUND

Studies that have evaluated the use of intravenous vitamin C in adults with sepsis who were receiving vasopressor therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU) have shown mixed results with respect to the risk of death and organ dysfunction.

METHODS

In this randomized, placebo-controlled trial, we assigned adults who had been in the ICU for no longer than 24 hours, who had proven or suspected infection as the main diagnosis, and who were receiving a vasopressor to receive an infusion of either vitamin C (at a dose of 50 mg per kilogram of body weight) or matched placebo administered every 6 hours for up to 96 hours. The primary outcome was a composite of death or persistent organ dysfunction (defined by the use of vasopressors, invasive mechanical ventilation, or new renal-replacement therapy) on day 28.

RESULTS

A total of 872 patients underwent randomization (435 to the vitamin C group and 437 to the control group). The primary outcome occurred in 191 of 429 patients (44.5%) in the vitamin C group and in 167 of 434 patients (38.5%) in the control group (risk ratio, 1.21; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04 to 1.40; P = 0.01). At 28 days, death had occurred in 152 of 429 patients (35.4%) in the vitamin C group and in 137 of 434 patients (31.6%) in the placebo group (risk ratio, 1.17; 95% CI, 0.98 to 1.40) and persistent organ dysfunction in 39 of 429 patients (9.1%) and 30 of 434 patients (6.9%), respectively (risk ratio, 1.30; 95% CI, 0.83 to 2.05). Findings were similar in the two groups regarding organ-dysfunction scores, biomarkers, 6-month survival, health-related quality of life, stage 3 acute kidney injury, and hypoglycemic episodes. In the vitamin C group, one patient had a severe hypoglycemic episode and another had a serious anaphylaxis event.

CONCLUSIONS

In adults with sepsis receiving vasopressor therapy in the ICU, those who received intravenous vitamin C had a higher risk of death or persistent organ dysfunction at 28 days than those who received placebo.

摘要

背景

在 ICU 接受升压治疗的败血症成人中，评估静脉用维生素 C 应用的研究结果在死亡率和器官功能障碍风险方面存在差异。

方法

在这项随机、安慰剂对照试验中，我们将 ICU 入住时间不超过 24 小时、以感染为主要诊断且正在接受升压治疗的成年人分配至维生素 C 组（以 50mg/kg 的剂量输注）或匹配的安慰剂组，每 6 小时给药一次，最多给药 96 小时。主要结局是 28 天死亡或持续器官功能障碍的复合终点（定义为使用升压药、有创机械通气或新的肾脏替代治疗）。

结果

共有 872 名患者接受了随机分组（维生素 C 组 435 例，对照组 437 例）。维生素 C 组 429 例患者中有 191 例（44.5%）发生主要结局，对照组 434 例患者中有 167 例（38.5%）发生主要结局（风险比，1.21；95%置信区间 [CI]，1.04 至 1.40；P=0.01）。28 天时，维生素 C 组 429 例患者中有 152 例（35.4%）死亡，对照组 434 例患者中有 137 例（31.6%）死亡（风险比，1.17；95%CI，0.98 至 1.40）；维生素 C 组 429 例患者中有 39 例（9.1%）持续存在器官功能障碍，对照组 434 例患者中有 30 例（6.9%）持续存在器官功能障碍（风险比，1.30；95%CI，0.83 至 2.05）。两组器官功能障碍评分、生物标志物、6 个月生存率、健康相关生活质量、3 期急性肾损伤和低血糖发作的结果相似。维生素 C 组有 1 例患者发生严重低血糖事件，1 例患者发生严重过敏反应。
