Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is associated with elevated morbidity and mortality, and it usually occurs in older adults. Our goal here was to assess the efficacies of muscle mass-related biomarkers, such as, aspartate transaminase/alanine transaminase (AST/ALT) and creatinine/cystatin C100 (Cr/CysC100), in predicting 1-, 2-, and 3-year mortalities of older CAP patients.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
A teaching hospital in western China. Hospitalized CAP patients, aged≥60 years. We separated patients into a high or low muscle mass group, according to the median AST/ALT and Cr/CysC100, respectively. We acquired data from medical records and local government mortality databases, as well as telephonic interviews. We analyzed the association between low muscle mass (AST/ALT and Cr/CysC100) and all-cause mortality at 1, 2, and 3 years in older patients with CAP.
We enrolled 606 patients (58.58% male; median age: 81 years) for analysis. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year mortality in older patients with CAP in the low muscle mass group (AST/ALT) was higher than in the high muscle mass group (AST/ALT) (1-year: 51.16% vs. 36.96%, p < 0.001; 2-year: 54.46% vs. 41.25%, p = 0.001; 3-year: 54.79% vs. 42.9%, p = 0.003). Upon adjustment of potential confounding factors, we revealed, using cox regression analysis, that the low muscle mass group (AST/ALT) experienced enhanced mortality risk at the 1-, 2-, and 3-year follow-ups, compared to the high muscle mass group (AST/ALT) (1-year: hazard ratios (HR) = 1.46, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.13-1.88; 2-year: HR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.09-1.77; 3-year: HR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.06-1.72). The 1-, 2-, and 3-year mortality of older CAP patients in the low muscle mass group (Cr/CysC100) was also higher than the high muscle mass group (Cr/CysC100) (1-year: 56.29% vs. 31.91%, p < 0.001; 2-year: 60.26% vs. 35.53%, p < 0.001; 3-year: 61.26% vs. 36.51%, p < 0.001). Compared to the high muscle mass group (Cr/CysC100), the low muscle mass group (Cr/CysC100) experienced enhanced mortality risk at the 1-, 2-, and 3-year follow ups (1-year: HR = 1.9, 95% CI: 1.46-2.48; 2-year: HR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.44-2.39; 3-year: HR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.44-2.37).
Low muscle mass (AST/ALT and Cr/CysC*100) were associated with enhanced 1-, 2-, and 3-year mortality risk in older patients with CAP.
社区获得性肺炎(CAP)与发病率和死亡率升高有关,通常发生在老年人中。我们的目标是评估肌肉质量相关生物标志物(如天冬氨酸氨基转移酶/丙氨酸氨基转移酶(AST/ALT)和肌酐/胱抑素 C100(Cr/CysC100))在预测老年 CAP 患者 1 年、2 年和 3 年死亡率方面的功效。
设计:回顾性队列研究。
中国西部的一家教学医院。年龄≥60 岁的住院 CAP 患者。我们根据 AST/ALT 和 Cr/CysC100 的中位数将患者分为高或低肌肉量组。我们从病历、当地政府死亡率数据库和电话访谈中获取数据。我们分析了低肌肉量(AST/ALT 和 Cr/CysC100)与老年 CAP 患者 1 年、2 年和 3 年全因死亡率之间的关系。
我们纳入了 606 名患者(58.58%为男性;中位年龄:81 岁)进行分析。低肌肉量组(AST/ALT)老年 CAP 患者的 1 年、2 年和 3 年死亡率高于高肌肉量组(AST/ALT)(1 年:51.16%比 36.96%,p<0.001;2 年:54.46%比 41.25%,p=0.001;3 年:54.79%比 42.9%,p=0.003)。在调整潜在混杂因素后,我们使用 Cox 回归分析发现,与高肌肉量组(AST/ALT)相比,低肌肉量组(AST/ALT)在 1 年、2 年和 3 年随访中死亡风险增加(1 年:危险比(HR)=1.46,95%置信区间(CI):1.13-1.88;2 年:HR=1.39,95%CI:1.09-1.77;3 年:HR=1.35,95%CI:1.06-1.72)。低肌肉量组(Cr/CysC100)老年 CAP 患者的 1 年、2 年和 3 年死亡率也高于高肌肉量组(Cr/CysC100)(1 年:56.29%比 31.91%,p<0.001;2 年:60.26%比 35.53%,p<0.001;3 年:61.26%比 36.51%,p<0.001)。与高肌肉量组(Cr/CysC100)相比,低肌肉量组(Cr/CysC100)在 1 年、2 年和 3 年随访中死亡风险增加(1 年:HR=1.9,95%CI:1.46-2.48;2 年:HR=1.85,95%CI:1.44-2.39;3 年:HR=1.85,95%CI:1.44-2.37)。
低肌肉量(AST/ALT 和 Cr/CysC*100)与老年 CAP 患者 1 年、2 年和 3 年死亡率增加相关。
