J Inflamm Res 2024; 17:5223-5234. [PMID: 39131211 PMCID: PMC11313576 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s468017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The inflammatory response of the body is intimately linked to the quick onset and high in-hospital mortality of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection (ATAAD). The purpose of the study was to examine the connection between in-hospital mortality in patients with ATAAD upon admission and the Pan-Immune-Inflammation Value (PIV). Patients and Methods 308 patients who were diagnosed with ATAAD between September 2018 and October 2021 at Fujian Provincial Center for Cardiovascular Medicine had their clinical data retrospectively examined. PIV was assessed at the time of study population admission, with in-hospital mortality serving as the main outcome measure. Patients were divided into two groups, the high PIV group (PIV > 1807.704) and the low PIV group (PIV < 1807.704), based on the PIV ROC curve and the best threshold of the Youden index. The clinical results of the two groups were then compared. Results Among ATAAD patients, postoperative in-hospital mortality was higher in the high PIV group (54.7% vs 10.6%, P < 0.001), and the high PIV group had significantly higher rates of postoperative acute kidney injury, acute liver insufficiency, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage (P < 0.05). Additionally, the high PIV group's ICU stays lasted longer than the low PIV group's (P < 0.05). The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis, which controlled for other variables, indicated that the mechanical ventilation time (OR = 1.860, 95% CI: 1.437, 2.408; P < 0.001), the high PIV group (> 1807.704) (OR = 1.939, 95% CI: 1.257, 2.990; P = 0.003), the cardiopulmonary bypass time (OR = 1.011, 95% CI: 1.004, 1.018; P = 0.002), and the white blood cell count (OR = 1.188, 95% CI: 1.054, 1.340; P = 0.005) were independent risk factors for postoperative in-hospital mortality in ATAAD patients. Conclusion Postoperative death in ATAAD patients was independently predicted by high PIV levels at admission. Patients should be informed about their preoperative inflammatory status and actively participate in prompt clinical decision-making and treatment.

Abstract
Background The impact of coagulation indicators on postoperative outcomes of patients with constrictive pericarditis undergoing pericardiectomy has been poorly investigated. This study aimed to assess the prognostic role of preoperative coagulation indicators in these patients. Methods We retrospectively included 158 patients with constrictive pericarditis undergoing pericardiectomy. The diagnostic values of coagulation indicators for postoperative complications were evaluated by ROC curves. Patients were divided into two groups according to the cutoff value calculated by ROC curve. Postoperative outcomes were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors of postoperative complications. Results ROC curve showed that among different coagulation indicators, preoperative D-dimer (DD) level could effectively identify patients with postoperative complications (AUC 0.771, 95% CI 0.696-0.847, P < 0.001). Patients were divided into the low DD group and the high DD group. The comparison of postoperative outcomes suggested that high preoperative DD level was significantly associated with longer durations of vasoactive agents using (P = 0.018), intubation (P = 0.020), ICU stay (P = 0.008), chest drainage (P=0.004) and hospital stay (P = 0.002). Multivariable analysis showed that high preoperative DD level was the independent risk factor of postoperative complications (OR 6.892, 95% CI 2.604-18.235, P < 0.001). Conclusion High preoperative DD level was significantly linked to poor postoperative outcomes and could provide an effective prediction ability for postoperative complications in patients with constrictive pericarditis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postoperative organ dysfunction is common after cardiac surgery, particularly when cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is used. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is validated to predict morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery. However, the impact of CPB duration on postoperative SOFA remains unclear. METHODS This is a retrospective study. Categorical values are presented as percentages. The comparison of SOFA groups utilized the Kruskal-Wallis chi-squared test, complemented by ad hoc Dunn's test with Bonferroni correction. Multinomial logistics regressions were employed to evaluate the relationship between CPB time and SOFA. RESULTS A total of 1032 patients were included. CPB time was independently associated with higher postoperative SOFA scores at 24 h. CPB time was significantly higher in patients with SOFA 4-5 (**P = 0.0022) or higher (***P < 0.001) when compared to SOFA 0-1. The percentage of patients with no/mild dysfunction decreased with longer periods of CPB, down to 0% for CPB time >180min (50% of the patients with >180m in of CPB presented SOFA ≥ 10). The same trend is observed for each of the SOFA variables, with higher impact in the cardiovascular and renal systems. Severe dysfunction occurs especially >200 min of CPB (cardiovascular system >100 min; other systems mainly >200 min). CONCLUSIONS CPB time may predict the probability of postoperative SOFA categories. Patients with extended CPB durations exhibited higher SOFA scores (overall and for each variable) at 24 h, with higher proportion of moderate and severe dysfunction with increasing times of CPB.

[PMID: 38310273 PMCID: PMC10838431 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-024-02548-7] [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: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the independent risk factors for postoperative prolonged ICU stay in patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD) and assess the clinical outcomes of prolonged ICU stay. METHOD The clinical data of 100 patients with TAAD admitted to the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from December 2018 to September 2022 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups, based on the postoperative ICU stay (7 days as the threshold), regular ICU stay group (< 7 days) and prolonged ICU stay group (≥ 7 days). First, preoperative and intraoperative materials were collected for univariate analysis. Then, the significant variables after univariate analysis were analyzed using logistic regression, and the final independent risk factors for prolonged ICU stay were determined. Meanwhile, the postoperative clinical outcomes were analyzed with the aim of assessing the clinical outcomes due to prolonged ICU stay. RESULTS There were 65 and 35 patients in the regular ICU stay group and the prolonged ICU stay group, respectively. In accordance with the result of univariate analysis in the two groups, emergency surgery (χ2 = 13.598; P < 0.001), preoperative urea nitrogen (t = 3.006; P = 0.004), cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (t = 2.671; P = 0.001) and surgery time (t = 2.630; P = 0.010) were significant. All significant variates were analyzed through logistic regression, and it was found that emergency surgery (OR = 0.192; 95% CI: 0.065-0.561), preoperative urea nitrogen (OR = 0.775; 95% CI: 0.634-0.947) and cardiopulmonary time (OR = 0.988; 95% CI: 0.979-0.998) were independent risk factors for prolonged postoperative ICU stay. The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves of these three factors were also effective in predicting postoperative prolonged ICU stay (Emergency surgery, AUC = 0.308, 95% CI: 0.201-0.415; Preoperative urea nitrogen, AUC = 0.288, 95% CI: 0.185-0.392; cardiopulmonary time, AUC = 0.340, 95% CI: 0.223-0.457). Moreover, compared with a single factor, the predictive value of combined factors was more significant (AUC = 0.810, 95% CI: 0.722-0.897). For the comparison of postoperative data in the two groups,, compared with the regular ICU stay group, the incidence of adverse events in the prolonged ICU stay group increased significantly, including limb disability of limbs (χ2 = 22.182; P < 0.001), severe organ injury (χ2 = 23.077; P < 0.001), tracheotomy (χ2 = 17.582; P < 0.001), reintubation (χ2 = 28.020; P < 0.001), 72 h tracheal extubation after surgery (χ2 = 29.335; P < 0.001), 12 h consciousness recovery after surgery (χ2 = 18.445; P < 0.001), ICU re-entering (χ2 = 9.496; P = 0.002) and irregular discharging (χ2 = 24.969; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Emergency surgery, preoperative urea nitrogen, and CPB time are risk factors for postoperative prolonged ICU stay after TAAD surgery. Furthermore, prolonged ICU stay is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Hence, a reasonable strategy should be adopted proactively focusing on the risk factors to shorten ICU stays and improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative patients with Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) often experience severe inflammatory responses caused by multiple factors perioperatively. However, the effect of postoperative glucocorticoid (GC) use, which is a potent anti-inflammatory agent, on complications or all-cause mortality is unclear. METHODS Patients with TAAD who underwent surgical repair requiring deep hypothermic circulatory arrest between January 2020 and December 2021 were included in the study. Characteristics of patients treated with and without GCs were compared. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, and a composite secondary outcome was defined as in-hospital death or any major complications. Propensity score matching was used to balance baseline differences between groups. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to compare survival probability. RESULTS A total of 393 postoperative patients with TAAD were included in the study. Forty of them (10.2%) received GC treatment at a median daily methylprednisolone-equivalent dose of 0.6 mg/kg (0.4-0.7) for a median period of 2 (1-3) days. Patients on GCs had more intraoperative blood transfusions, higher postoperative APACHE II (12 vs 9, p = .004) and SOFA (9 vs 6, p < .001) scores, worse perioperative hepatic, renal and cardiac function. The in-hospital mortality in the matched cohort did not differ between groups [GC n = 11/40 (27.5%) versus Non-GC n = 19/80 (23.8%); p = .661]. CONCLUSIONS The propensity to use GCs correlated with the critical status of the patient. However, low dose and short-term postoperative GC treatment did not reduce in-hospital mortality rates among patients with TAAD. A more appropriate regimen should be further investigated.

Inflammatory risk stratification individualizes anti-inflammatory pharmacotherapy for acute type A aortic dissection. Innovation (N Y) 2023; 4:100448. [PMID: 37333431 PMCID: PMC10276284 DOI: 10.1016/j.xinn.2023.100448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/20/2023] Open
Abstract
The systemic benefits of anti-inflammatory pharmacotherapy vary across cardiovascular diseases in clinical practice. We aimed to evaluate the application of artificial intelligence to acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) patients to determine the optimal target population who would benefit from urinary trypsin inhibitor use (ulinastatin). Patient characteristics at admission in the Chinese multicenter 5A study database (2016-2022) were used to develop an inflammatory risk model to predict multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). The population (5,126 patients from 15 hospitals) was divided into a 60% sample for model derivation, with the remaining 40% used for model validation. Next, we trained an extreme gradient-boosting algorithm (XGBoost) to develop a parsimonious patient-level inflammatory risk model for predicting MODS. Finally, a top-six-feature tool consisting of estimated glomerular filtration rate, leukocyte count, platelet count, De Ritis ratio, hemoglobin, and albumin was built and showed adequate predictive performance regarding its discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility in derivation and validation cohorts. By individual risk probability and treatment effect, our analysis identified individuals with differential benefit from ulinastatin use (risk ratio [RR] for MODS of RR 0.802 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.656, 0.981] for the predicted risk of 23.5%-41.6%; RR 1.196 [0.698-2.049] for the predicted risk of <23.5%; RR 0.922 [95% CI 0.816-1.042] for the predicted risk of >41.6%). By using artificial intelligence to define an individual's benefit based on the risk probability and treatment effect prediction, we found that individual differences in risk probability likely have important effects on ulinastatin treatment and outcome, which highlights the need for individualizing the selection of optimal anti-inflammatory treatment goals for ATAAD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients receiving surgical treatment of acute type A Aortic Dissection (aTAAD) are common to suffer organ dysfunction in the intensive care unit due to overwhelming inflammation. Previous studies have revealed that glucocorticoids may reduce complications in certain patient groups, but evidence between postoperative glucocorticoids administration and improvement in organ dysfunction after aTAAD surgery are lacking. METHODS This study will be an investigator-initiated, prospective, single-blind, randomized, single-center study. Subjects with confirmed diagnosis of aTAAD undergoing surgical treatment will be enrolled and 1:1 randomly assigned to receive either glucocorticoids or normal treatment. All patients in the glucocorticoids group will be given methylprednisolone intravenously for 3 days after enrollment. The primary endpoint will be the amplitude of variation of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score on post-operative day 4 compared to baseline. DISCUSSION The trial will explore the rationale for postoperative application of glucocorticoids in patients after aTAAD surgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study has been registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04734418).

Abstract
Background Blood transfusion is a frequent and necessary practice in acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) patients, but the effect of plasma/red blood cells (RBCs) ratio on mortality remains unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between plasma/RBCs transfusion ratio and in-hospital mortality in patients with AAAD. Methods Patients were admitted to Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2021. Clinical parameters were recorded. Multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the association between transfusion and in-hospital mortality. We used the smooth curve fitting and segmented regression model to assess the threshold effect between plasma/RBCs transfusion ratio and in-hospital mortality in patients with AAAD. Results The volumes of RBCs [14.00 (10.12-20.50) unit] and plasma [19.25 (14.72-28.15) unit] transfused in non-survivors were significantly higher than in survivors [RBCs: 8.00 (5.50-12.00) unit]; plasma: [10.35 (6.50-15.22) unit]. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed plasma transfusion was an independent risk factor of in-hospital mortality. Adjusted HR was 1.03 (95% CI: 0.96-1.11) for RBCs transfusion and 1.08 (95% CI: 1.03-1.13) for plasma transfusion. In the spline smoothing plot, mortality risk increased with plasma/RBCs transfusion ratio leveling up to the turning point 1. Optimal plasma/RBCs transfusion ratio with least mortality risk was 1. When the plasma/RBCs ratio was <1 (adjusted HR per 0.1 ratio: 0.28, 95% CI per 0.1 ratio: 0.17-0.45), mortality risk decreased with the increase of ratio. When the plasma/RBCs ratio was 1-1.5 (adjusted HR per 0.1 ratio: 2.73, 95% CI per 0.1 ratio:1.13-6.62), mortality risk increased rapidly with the increase of ratio. When the plasma/RBCs ratio was >1.5 (adjusted HR per 0.1 ratio: 1.09, 95% CI per 0.1 ratio:0.97-1.23), mortality risk tended to reach saturation, and increased non-significantly with the increase of ratio. Conclusion A 1:1 plasma/RBCs ratio was associated with the lowest mortality in the patients with AAAD. And non-linear relationship existed between plasma/RBCs ratio and mortality.
