Fluid balance control in critically ill patients: results from as-treated analyses of POINCARE-2 randomized trial. Crit Care 2023; 27:426. [PMID: 37932787 PMCID: PMC10626740 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04701-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intention-to-treat analyses of POINCARE-2 trial led to inconclusive results regarding the effect of a conservative fluid balance strategy on mortality in critically ill patients. The present as-treated analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of actual exposure to POINCARE-2 strategy on 60-day mortality in critically ill patients. METHODS POINCARE‑2 was a stepped wedge randomized controlled trial. Eligible patients were ≥ 18 years old, under mechanical ventilation and had an expected length of stay in ICU > 24 h. POINCARE-2 strategy consisted of daily weighing over 14 days, and subsequent restriction of fluid intake, administration of diuretics, and/or ultrafiltration. We computed a score of exposure to the strategy based on deviations from the strategy algorithm. We considered patients with a score ≥ 75 as exposed to the strategy. We used logistic regression adjusted for confounders (ALR) or for an instrumental variable (IVLR). We handled missing data using multiple imputations. RESULTS A total of 1361 patients were included. Overall, 24.8% of patients in the control group and 69.4% of patients in the strategy group had a score of exposure ≥ 75. Exposure to the POINCARE-2 strategy was not associated with 60-day all-cause mortality (ALR: OR 1.2, 95% CI 0.85-1.55; IVLR: OR 1.0, 95% CI 0.76-1.33). CONCLUSION Actual exposure to POINCARE-2 conservative strategy was not associated with reduced mortality in critically ill patients. Trial registration POINCARE-2 trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02765009). Registered 29 April 2016.

Fluid balance control in critically ill patients: results from POINCARE-2 stepped wedge cluster-randomized trial. Crit Care 2023; 27:66. [PMID: 36810101 PMCID: PMC9945675 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04357-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 02/12/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In critically ill patients, positive fluid balance is associated with excessive mortality. The POINCARE-2 trial aimed to assess the effectiveness of a fluid balance control strategy on mortality in critically ill patients. METHODS POINCARE-2 was a stepped wedge cluster open-label randomized controlled trial. We recruited critically ill patients in twelve volunteering intensive care units from nine French hospitals. Eligible patients were ≥ 18 years old, under mechanical ventilation, admitted to one of the 12 recruiting units for > 48 and ≤ 72 h, and had an expected length of stay after inclusion > 24 h. Recruitment started on May 2016 and ended on May 2019. Of 10,272 patients screened, 1361 met the inclusion criteria and 1353 completed follow-up. The POINCARE-2 strategy consisted of a daily weight-driven restriction of fluid intake, diuretics administration, and ultrafiltration in case of renal replacement therapy between Day 2 and Day 14 after admission. The primary outcome was 60-day all-cause mortality. We considered intention-to-treat analyses in cluster-randomized analyses (CRA) and in randomized before-and-after analyses (RBAA). RESULTS A total of 433 (643) patients in the strategy group and 472 (718) in the control group were included in the CRA (RBAA). In the CRA, mean (SD) age was 63.7 (14.1) versus 65.7 (14.3) years, and mean (SD) weight at admission was 78.5 (20.0) versus 79.4 (23.5) kg. A total of 129 (160) patients died in the strategy (control) group. Sixty-day mortality did not differ between groups [30.5%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 26.2-34.8 vs. 33.9%, 95% CI 29.6-38.2, p = 0.26]. Among safety outcomes, only hypernatremia was more frequent in the strategy group (5.3% vs. 2.3%, p = 0.01). The RBAA led to similar results. CONCLUSION The POINCARE-2 conservative strategy did not reduce mortality in critically ill patients. However, due to open-label and stepped wedge design, intention-to-treat analyses might not reflect actual exposure to this strategy, and further analyses might be required before completely discarding it. Trial registration POINCARE-2 trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02765009). Registered 29 April 2016.

Acute kidney injury in the critically ill: an updated review on pathophysiology and management. Intensive Care Med 2021; 47:835-850. [PMID: 34213593 PMCID: PMC8249842 DOI: 10.1007/s00134-021-06454-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 146] [Impact Index Per Article: 48.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/04/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is now recognized as a heterogeneous syndrome that not only affects acute morbidity and mortality, but also a patient’s long-term prognosis. In this narrative review, an update on various aspects of AKI in critically ill patients will be provided. Focus will be on prediction and early detection of AKI (e.g., the role of biomarkers to identify high-risk patients and the use of machine learning to predict AKI), aspects of pathophysiology and progress in the recognition of different phenotypes of AKI, as well as an update on nephrotoxicity and organ cross-talk. In addition, prevention of AKI (focusing on fluid management, kidney perfusion pressure, and the choice of vasopressor) and supportive treatment of AKI is discussed. Finally, post-AKI risk of long-term sequelae including incident or progression of chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular events and mortality, will be addressed.

Restrictive fluid management versus usual care in acute kidney injury (REVERSE-AKI): a pilot randomized controlled feasibility trial. Intensive Care Med 2021; 47:665-673. [PMID: 33961058 PMCID: PMC8195764 DOI: 10.1007/s00134-021-06401-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 04/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Purpose We compared a restrictive fluid management strategy to usual care among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) who had received initial fluid resuscitation. Methods This multicenter feasibility trial randomized 100 AKI patients 1:1 in seven ICUs in Europe and Australia. Restrictive fluid management included targeting negative or neutral daily fluid balance by minimizing fluid input and/or enhancing urine output with diuretics administered at the discretion of the clinician. Fluid boluses were administered as clinically indicated. The primary endpoint was cumulative fluid balance 72 h from randomization. Results Mean (SD) cumulative fluid balance at 72 h from randomization was − 1080 mL (2003 mL) in the restrictive fluid management arm and 61 mL (3131 mL) in the usual care arm, mean difference (95% CI) − 1148 mL (− 2200 to − 96) mL, P = 0.033. Median [IQR] duration of AKI was 2 [1–3] and 3 [2–7] days, respectively (median difference − 1.0 [− 3.0 to 0.0], P = 0.071). Altogether, 6 out of 46 (13%) patients in the restrictive fluid management arm and 15 out of 50 (30%) in the usual care arm received renal replacement therapy (RR 0.42; 95% CI 0.16–0.91), P = 0.043. Cumulative fluid balance at 24 h and 7 days was lower in the restrictive fluid management arm. The dose of diuretics was not different between the groups. Adverse events occurred more frequently in the usual care arm. Conclusions In critically ill patients with AKI, a restrictive fluid management regimen resulted in lower cumulative fluid balance and less adverse events compared to usual care. Larger trials of this intervention are justified. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00134-021-06401-6.
