Low serum creatinine/cystatin C ratio (CCR) is associated with unfavorable characteristics in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, the relationship between CCR and in-hospital mortality of patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) is unexplored. Our objective was to assess the value of CCR for predicting in-hospital mortality of patients hospitalized with AECOPD.
Patients with AECOPD (n = 597) were retrospectively enrolled. Patient's clinical characteristics and laboratory tests, including serum cystatin C and creatinine, were reviewed. The prediction value of CCR was evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values. Factors potentially impacting in-hospital mortality were investigated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.
Mortality rate during hospitalization was 10.05%. CCR was lower in non-surviving vs. survived patients (41.67 vs. 61.52, P < 0.001). AUC value for CCR for in-hospital mortality prediction was 0.79 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.73-0.85]. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, in-hospital mortality was strongly associated with CCR < 52.27 [odds ratio (OR) 6.23, 95% CI (3.00-12.92), P < 0.001], age ≥ 81 years [OR 2.97, 95% CI (1.20-7.37), P = 0.019], oxygenation index < 300 [OR 3.28, 95% CI (1.27-8.44), P = 0.014], CRP > 8 mg/L [OR 1.84, 95% CI (1.15-2.95), P = 0.012], and D-dimer > 500 ng/L [OR 5.19, 95% CI (1.51-17.79), P = 0.009].
CCR was significantly lower, and is a potential prognostic indicator, in patients with AECOPD who died during hospitalization.
低血清肌酐/胱抑素 C 比值(CCR)与慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者的不良特征相关;然而,CCR 与 COPD 急性加重(AECOPD)患者住院期间死亡率的关系尚未得到探索。我们的目的是评估 CCR 对预测 AECOPD 住院患者住院期间死亡率的价值。
回顾性纳入 AECOPD 患者(n=597)。回顾患者的临床特征和实验室检查,包括血清胱抑素 C 和肌酐。使用接受者操作特征曲线(ROC)下面积(AUC)值评估 CCR 的预测价值。使用单因素和多因素逻辑回归分析调查可能影响住院死亡率的因素。
住院期间死亡率为 10.05%。与存活患者相比,死亡患者的 CCR 更低(41.67 与 61.52,P<0.001)。CCR 对住院死亡率预测的 AUC 值为 0.79[95%置信区间(CI)0.73-0.85]。在多因素逻辑回归分析中,住院死亡率与 CCR<52.27[比值比(OR)6.23,95%CI(3.00-12.92)]强烈相关,P<0.001]、年龄≥81 岁[OR 2.97,95%CI(1.20-7.37)],P=0.019]、氧合指数<300[OR 3.28,95%CI(1.27-8.44)],P=0.014]、C 反应蛋白(CRP)>8mg/L[OR 1.84,95%CI(1.15-2.95)],P=0.012]和 D-二聚体>500ng/L[OR 5.19,95%CI(1.51-17.79)],P=0.009]。
在住院期间死亡的 AECOPD 患者中,CCR 明显降低,是潜在的预后指标。
