Risk Factors for Early Mortality in Older Patients with Traumatic Cervical Spine Injuries-A Multicenter Retrospective Study of 1512 Cases. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12020708. [PMID: 36675636 PMCID: PMC9865717 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12020708] [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: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
For older patients with decreased reserve function, traumatic cervical spine injuries frequently lead to early mortality. However, the prognostic factors for early mortality remain unclear. This study included patients aged ≥65 years and hospitalized for treatment of traumatic cervical spine injuries in 78 hospitals between 2010 and 2020. Early mortality was defined as death within 90 days after injury. We evaluated the relationship between early mortality and the following factors: age, sex, body mass index, history of drinking and smoking, injury mechanisms, presence of a cervical spine fracture and dislocation, cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale, concomitant injury, pre-existing comorbidities, steroid administration, and treatment plan. Overall, 1512 patients (mean age, 75.8 ± 6.9 years) were included in the study. The early mortality rate was 4.0%. Multivariate analysis identified older age (OR = 1.1, p < 0.001), male sex (OR = 3.7, p = 0.009), cervical spine fracture (OR = 4.2, p < 0.001), complete motor paralysis (OR = 8.4, p < 0.001), and chronic kidney disease (OR = 5.3, p < 0.001) as risk factors for early mortality. Older age, male sex, cervical spine fracture, complete motor paralysis, and chronic kidney disease are prognostic factors for early mortality in older patients with traumatic cervical spine injuries.

Baseline predictors of in-hospital mortality after acute traumatic spinal cord injury: data from a level I trauma center. Sci Rep 2022; 12:11420.

Abstract
Comorbidity scores are important predictors of in-hospital mortality after traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI), but the impact of specific pre-existing diseases is unknown. This retrospective cohort study aims at identifying relevant comorbidities and explores the influence of end-of-life decisions. In-hospital mortality of all patients admitted to the study center after acute tSCI from 2011 to 2017 was assessed. A conditional inference tree analysis including baseline data, injury characteristics, and Charlson Comorbidity Index items was used to identify crucial predictors. End-of-life decisions were recorded. Three-hundred-twenty-one patients were consecutively enrolled. The median length of stay was 95.7 days (IQR 56.8-156.0). During inpatient care, 20 patients (6.2%) died. These patients were older (median: 79.0 (IQR 74.7-83.2) vs. 55.5 (IQR 41.4-72.3) years) and had a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index score (median: 4.0 (IQR 1.75-5.50) vs. 0.0 (IQR 0.00-1.00)) compared to survivors. Pre-existing kidney or liver disease were identified as relevant predictors of in-hospital mortality. End-of-life decisions were observed in 14 (70.0%) cases. The identified impairment of kidney and liver, important for drug metabolism and elimination, points to the need of careful decisions on pharmaceutical treatment regimens after tSCI. Appropriate reporting of end-of-life decisions is required for upcoming studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic kidney disease (CKD) impairs the elimination of fluids, electrolytes and metabolic wastes, which can affect the outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of CKD on in-hospital mortality and mid-term survival of adult patients who received ECMO treatment. METHODS Patients who received first-time ECMO treatment between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2013 were included. Those with CKD were identified and matched to patients without CKD using a 1:2 ratio and were followed for 3 years. The study outcomes included in-hospital outcomes and the 3-year mortality rate. A subgroup analysis was conducted by comparing the dialytic patients with the non-dialytic CKD patients. RESULTS The study comprised 1008 CKD patients and 2016 non-CKD patients after propensity score matching. The CKD patients had higher in-hospital mortality rates [69.5% vs 62.2%; adjusted odds ratio 1.41; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.15-1.72] than the non-CKD patients. The 3-year mortality rate was 80.4% in the CKD group and 68% in the non-CKD group (adjusted hazard ratio 1.17; 95% CI 1.06-1.28). The subgroup analysis showed that the 3-year mortality rates were 84.5% and 78.4% in the dialytic and non-dialytic patients, respectively. No difference in the 3-year mortality rate was noted between the 2 CKD subgroups (P = 0.111). CONCLUSIONS CKD was associated with increased risks of in-hospital and mid-term mortalities in patients who received ECMO treatment. Furthermore, no difference in survival was observed between the patients with end-stage renal disease and non-dialytic CKD patients.

Abstract
Introduction: The use of matching techniques in observational studies has been increasing and is not always used appropriately. Clinical experiments are not always feasible in critical patients with renal outcomes, and observational studies are an important alternative.
Objective: Through a scoping review, determine the available evidence on the use of matching methods in studies involving critically ill patients and assessing renal outcomes.
Methods: Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases were used to identify articles published between 1992 and 2020 up to week 10, which studied different exposures in the critically ill patient with renal outcomes and used propensity matching methods.
Results: Most publications are cohort studies 94 (94. 9 %), five studies (5. 1 %) were cross-sectional. The main pharmacological intervention was the use of antibiotics in seven studies (7. 1%) and the main risk factor studied was renal injury prior to ICU admission in 10 studies (10. 1%). The balance between the baseline characteristics assessed by standardized means, in only 28 studies (28. 2%). Most studies 95 (96 %) used logistic regression to calculate the propensity index.
Conclusion: Major inconsistencies were observed in the use of methods and in the reporting of findings. A summary is made of the aspects to be considered in the use of the methods and reporting of the findings with the matching by propensity index.

Abstract
The aim of this review is to offer dietary advice for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and neurogenic bowel dysfunction. With this in mind, we consider health conditions that are dependent on the level of lesion including skeletal muscle atrophy, autonomic dysreflexia and neurogenic bladder. In addition, SCI is often associated with a sedentary lifestyle, which increases risk for osteoporosis and diseases associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, including cardiovascular and chronic kidney diseases. The Mediterranean diet, along with exercise and dietary supplements, has been suggested as an anti-inflammatory intervention in individuals with SCI. However, individuals with chronic SCI have a daily intake of whole fruit, vegetables and whole grains lower than the recommended dietary allowance for the general population. Some studies have reported an increase in neurogenic bowel dysfunction symptoms after high fiber intake; therefore, this finding could explain the low consumption of plant foods. Low consumption of fibre induces dysbiosis, which is associated with both endotoxemia and inflammation. Dysbiosis can be reduced by exercise and diet in individuals with SCI. Therefore, to summarize our viewpoint, we developed a Mediterranean diet-based diet and exercise pyramid to integrate nutritional recommendations and exercise guidelines. Nutritional guidelines come from previously suggested recommendations for military veterans with disabilities and individuals with SCI, chronic kidney diseases, chronic pain and irritable bowel syndrome. We also considered the recent exercise guidelines and position stands for adults with SCI to improve muscle strength, flexibility and cardiorespiratory fitness and to obtain cardiometabolic benefits. Finally, dietary advice for Paralympic athletes is suggested.

Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is known to increase morbidity and mortality after orthopedic surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate how CKD affects perioperative complications in hip surgery patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS From 2013 to 2016, a total of 230 patients (30 patients with CKD and 200 without CKD) undergoing hip surgery were enrolled in this study. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data was collected and analyzed between CKD and non-CKD patients. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the independent risk factor for postoperative complications. RESULTS There were significant differences in the number of people with hypertension (90.0% vs 27.3%, P < 0.001), diabetes (33.3% vs 8.7%, P = 0.01), coronary heart disease (20.0% vs 2.0%, P = 0.001), smoking habits (56.7% vs 22.7%, P = 0.016), anemia (90.0% vs 19.3%, P < 0.001), and low hemoglobin levels (94.1 ± 19.7 vs 121.3 ± 18.8, P < 0.001) between CKD and non-CKD patients before surgery. Receiving a blood transfusion was significantly more common in CKD patients (50% vs 28.5%, P = 0.018). Postoperatively, significant differences were detected in the average number of patients who transferred to the ICU (73.3% vs 19.3%, P < 0.001). Furthermore, differences were found in the quantity of hemoglobin (92.5 ± 16.8 vs 107.5 ± 18.3, P < 0.001) and albumin (32.4 ± 4.1 vs 34.9 ± 5.5, P = 0.02) measured between CKD and non-CKD patients. Logistic regression analysis indicated that diabetes, alcohol, and anemia were all independent risk factors for obtaining a blood transfusion, while age, CKD, and osteoporosis were all independent risk factors for ICU transfers. CONCLUSION Compared with non-CKD patients, CKD patients were accompanied with more cardiac diseases preoperatively. In addition, CKD patients were more likely to receive a blood transfusion and transfer to the ICU after hip surgery. Preoperative anemia should be restored sufficiently to decrease the incidence of blood transfusions.

World Neurosurg 2018; 122:e667-e675. [PMID: 31108081 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.10.119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2018] [Revised: 10/17/2018] [Accepted: 10/19/2018] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at an increased risk of surgical mortality. We aimed to investigate the factors associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with ESRD who underwent spinal surgery, which remains to be determined. MATERIAL AND METHODS An age- and sex-matched cohort study was conducted using the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database between January 2000 and December 2012. Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted with log-rank test to compare the differences between these 2 groups. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate the hazard ratio of in-hospital mortality adjusted with potential confounding. RESULTS In total, 4109 participants with pre-existing ESRD and 8218 patients without ESRD were included. The in-hospital mortality in ESRD (10.17%) was greater than without ESRD (1.39%). Spinal surgery patients with pre-existing ESRD had a 6.78-fold increase in-hospital mortality risk compared with those without ESRD. Spinal surgery patients with ESRD of any age, male or female, and comorbidities experienced a greater incidence of hospital mortality. In patients with ESRD, operations on spinal cords and spinal canal structures had the greatest hospital mortality (14.87%) compared with spinal fusion (3.46%) or excision or destruction of intervertebral disc (3.01%). Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that patients with ESRD experienced greater hospital mortality than patients without ESRD in all 3 spinal surgery methods (log rank P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Spinal surgery patients with ESRD have greater in-hospital mortality than patients without ESRD. Age, sex, history of comorbidities, and types of surgical methods were associated with greater in-hospital mortality among patients with ESRD.
