The Respiratory Adjusted Shock Index at Admission Is a Valuable Predictor of In-Hospital Outcomes for Elderly Emergency Patients with Medical Diseases at a Japanese Community General Hospital. J Clin Med 2024; 13:4866. [PMID: 39201007 PMCID: PMC11355747 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13164866] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2024] [Revised: 08/09/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 09/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: The respiratory adjusted shock index (RASI) is a risk score whose usefulness in patients with sepsis and trauma has previously been reported. However, its relevance in elderly emergency patients with medical diseases is yet to be clarified. This study assessed the usefulness of the RASI, which can be evaluated without requiring special equipment, to provide objective and rapid emergency responses. Methods: In this retrospective study, we recruited patients with medical diseases, aged 65 years or older, who were transported to the emergency room from Tokushima Prefectural Kaifu Hospital and underwent arterial blood gas testing from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023. We investigated the association of the RASI with other indices, including the lactate level, National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2), Shock Index (SI), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, quick SOFA (qSOFA) score, and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Results: In this study, we included 260 patients (mean age, 86 years), of whom 234 were admitted to the hospital; 27 and 49 patients died within 7 and 30 days of admission, respectively. The RASI was positively correlated with the lactate level, NEWS2, SI, and increase in the SOFA score (p < 0.001). The RASI was higher in patients with a SIRS or qSOFA score ≥ 2 than in those without (p < 0.001). It predicted death within 7 and 30 days of admission with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.80 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.73-0.87), sensitivity of 96.3%, and specificity of 53.6% when the cutoff value was set to 1.58 and with an AUC of 0.73 (95% CI: 0.66-0.81), sensitivity of 69.4%, and specificity of 70.6% when the cutoff value was set to 1.83, respectively. Conclusions: The RASI is a simple indicator that can be used for predicting in-hospital outcomes in elderly emergency patients with medical diseases. Larger prospective studies based on this study are needed.

Comparison of the Relationship Between SI and RASI Scores With the Outcome of Sepsis Patients. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:872725. [PMID: 35847795 PMCID: PMC9281559 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.872725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the relationship between shock index (SI) and respiratory adjusted shock index (RASI) scores with the final outcome of sepsis patients referred to the emergency department. This was prospective research that examined individuals who had been diagnosed with sepsis, determined by the presence of at least two of the three quick sepsis-related organ failure assessment (qSOFA) criteria and the presence of an infectious disease based on a diagnosis made by a hospital physician of Imam Reza and Ghaemshahr of Mashhad in 2019. Demographic information of patients, SI score, RASI score, and information related to the patient's clinical symptoms were recorded in the checklist. The final outcome of this study was considered mortality. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential tests. In the present study, a total of 178 patients, 46 patients (25.8%) were transferred to the intensive care unit, and 98 patients (55.1%) were admitted to the normal wards. Eighty-five patients (47.75%) died and the mean length of hospital stay of all patients was 11.07 ± 9.23 days. Forty-four patients (24.7%) had referred with a decreased level of consciousness and 44 patients (24.7%) presented with confusion. The rest of the patients reported normal levels of consciousness. Kaplan Mir analysis with log-rank was performed to determine the difference in survival distribution in different SI groups: Survival distribution was not statistically different for the four defined groups (based on statistical quartiles (P = 0.320). Receiver operator curves were considered as the date of death in the case of the deceased and the date of discharge from the hospital in the case of the living as censored. The AUC of the RASI scoring system for predicting mortality was 0.614 (P = 0.009) while this value was not significant for SI (P = 0.152). In logistic regression analysis, it was found that by adjusting for the variables of age, sex, sepsis etiology, blood pressure and heart rate, level of consciousness, and gender, patients with the lower respiratory rate (OR 1.6, z = −0.159 p = 0.007), younger age (OR 1.6, z = −0.029 p = 0.006) and higher RASI score are more in risk of mortality (OR 1.29, z = 1.209, p = 0.031). The results of our study showed that RASI scoring can be a good criterion for predicting the chance of mortality in patients with sepsis and could be used complementary to previous criteria such as SI. Patients with high RASI scores should be given more attention to reducing the chance of death.

Abstract
AbstractThe health care burden and risks to health care workers imposed by novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mandated the need for a simple, noninvasive, objective, and parsimonious risk stratification system predicting the level of care, need for definitive airway, and titration of the ongoing patient care. Shock index (SI = heart rate/systolic blood pressure) has been evaluated in emergency triage, sepsis, and trauma settings including different age group of patients. The ever accumulating girth of evidences demonstrated a superior predictive value of SI over other hemodynamic parameters. Inclusion of respiratory and/or neurological parameters and adjustment of the cutoffs appropriate to patient age increase the predictability in the trauma and sepsis scenario. Being reproducible, dynamic, and simple, SI can be a valuable patient risk stratification tool in this ongoing era of COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bacteremia and fungemia can cause life-threatening illness with high mortality rates, which increase with delays in antimicrobial therapy. The objective of this study is to develop machine learning models to predict blood culture results at the time of the blood culture order using routine data in the electronic health record. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of a large, multicenter inpatient data. SETTING Two academic tertiary medical centers between the years 2007 and 2018. SUBJECTS All hospitalized patients who received a blood culture during hospitalization. INTERVENTIONS The dataset was partitioned temporally into development and validation cohorts: the logistic regression and gradient boosting machine models were trained on the earliest 80% of hospital admissions and validated on the most recent 20%. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS There were 252,569 blood culture days-defined as nonoverlapping 24-hour periods in which one or more blood cultures were ordered. In the validation cohort, there were 50,514 blood culture days, with 3,762 cases of bacteremia (7.5%) and 370 cases of fungemia (0.7%). The gradient boosting machine model for bacteremia had significantly higher area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.78 [95% CI 0.77-0.78]) than the logistic regression model (0.73 [0.72-0.74]) (p < 0.001). The model identified a high-risk group with over 30 times the occurrence rate of bacteremia in the low-risk group (27.4% vs 0.9%; p < 0.001). Using the low-risk cut-off, the model identifies bacteremia with 98.7% sensitivity. The gradient boosting machine model for fungemia had high discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.88 [95% CI 0.86-0.90]). The high-risk fungemia group had 252 fungemic cultures compared with one fungemic culture in the low-risk group (5.0% vs 0.02%; p < 0.001). Further, the high-risk group had a mortality rate 60 times higher than the low-risk group (28.2% vs 0.4%; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our novel models identified patients at low and high-risk for bacteremia and fungemia using routinely collected electronic health record data. Further research is needed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and impact of model implementation in clinical practice.
