Abstract
Introduction Sepsis is a significant and common cause of death and burden among critically ill patients, which has increasing incidence and mortality in adults over 60 and advanced age. This study aimed to develop an easy-to-use clinical tool for assessing 28-day mortality risk in older sepsis patients upon their initial assessment in the emergency department (ED). Method A retrospective cohort study was conducted using electronic medical records of older (≥60 years) ED patients with suspected sepsis from August 1, 2018, to December 31, 2018. A new prediction score was formulated based on the logistic coefficients of clinical predictors through multivariable regression analyses. Then, the score's screening performance was evaluated and compared to existing scoring systems; Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA), National early warning score (NEWS), and The Ramathibodi early warning score (REWS); using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (AuROC). Result The study included 599 patients with the mean age of 77.13 (range: 60-101) years (56.43% male) and an overall 28-day mortality rate of 7.01%. The newly developed prediction score had seven independent predictors of 28-day mortality: malignancy, dependent status, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, consciousness, and lactate, which demonstrated excellent discriminative ability (AuROC: 0.87, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.82 - 0.92), significantly outperforming SIRS (AuROC: 0.62), qSOFA (AuROC: 0.72), NEWS (AuROC: 0.74), and REWS (AuROC: 0.71), all with p-values <0.01. The score allowed risk stratification into low-risk (positive likelihood ratio (LR+): 0.37, 95% CI: 0.24 - 0.58) and high-risk (LR+: 4.14, 95% CI: 3.14 - 5.44) groups with sensitivity of 69.0% and specificity of 83.3% at a cut-off point of 6. Conclusion The novel prediction score demonstrates a remarkable ability to predict 28-day mortality risk in older sepsis patients during their initial ED assessment, offering potential for improved risk stratification and treatment guidance in older patients.

[PMID: 38072848 PMCID: PMC10711004 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-49170-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum phosphate levels, changes in serum phosphate levels, and 28-day mortality in patients with septic shock. In this retrospective study, data were collected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database between 2008 and 2019. Patients were divided into three groups according to the tertiles of serum phosphate levels. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test analyses were used for survival analysis. Multivariate logistic regression, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) curve were used to explore the association between serum phosphate, delta serum phosphate levels and 28-day mortality. In total, 3296 patients with septic shock were included in the study, and the 28-day mortality was 30.0%. Serum phosphate levels were significantly higher in the non-survivor group than in the survivor group. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed significant differences among the three groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and the RCS curve showed that serum phosphate levels were independently and positively associated with the 28-day mortality of septic shock. Non-survivors had higher delta serum phosphate levels than survivors. Survival analysis showed that patients with higher delta serum phosphate levels had higher 28-day mortality. A non-linear relationship was detected between delta serum phosphate and 28-day mortality with a point of inflection at - 0.3 mg/dL. Serum phosphate levels were positively and independently associated with 28-day mortality in septic shock. Delta serum phosphate level was a high-risk factor for patients with septic shock.

Abstract
Sepsis presents as a severe infectious disease frequently documented in clinical settings. Characterized by its systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis has the potential to trigger multi-organ dysfunction and can escalate to becoming life-threatening. A common fallout from sepsis is acute lung injury (ALI), which often progresses to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Macrophages, due to their significant role in the immune system, are receiving increased attention in clinical studies. Macrophage polarization is a process that hinges on an intricate regulatory network influenced by a myriad of signaling molecules, transcription factors, epigenetic modifications, and metabolic reprogramming. In this review, our primary focus is on the classically activated macrophages (M1-like) and alternatively activated macrophages (M2-like) as the two paramount phenotypes instrumental in sepsis' host immune response. An imbalance between M1-like and M2-like macrophages can precipitate the onset and exacerbate the progression of sepsis. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between macrophage polarization and sepsis-induced acute lung injury (SALI) and elaborates on the intervention strategy that centers around the crucial process of macrophage polarization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This large-scale analysis pools individual data about the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) to predict outcome in the intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS A systematic search identified all clinical trials that used the CFS in the ICU (PubMed searched until 24th June 2020). All patients who were electively admitted were excluded. The primary outcome was ICU mortality. Regression models were estimated on the complete data set, and for missing data, multiple imputations were utilised. Cox models were adjusted for age, sex, and illness acuity score (SOFA, SAPS II or APACHE II). RESULTS 12 studies from 30 countries with anonymised individualised patient data were included (n = 23,989 patients). In the univariate analysis for all patients, being frail (CFS ≥ 5) was associated with an increased risk of ICU mortality, but not after adjustment. In older patients (≥ 65 years) there was an independent association with ICU mortality both in the complete case analysis (HR 1.34 (95% CI 1.25-1.44), p < 0.0001) and in the multiple imputation analysis (HR 1.35 (95% CI 1.26-1.45), p < 0.0001, adjusted for SOFA). In older patients, being vulnerable (CFS 4) alone did not significantly differ from being frail. After adjustment, a CFS of 4-5, 6, and ≥ 7 was associated with a significantly worse outcome compared to CFS of 1-3. CONCLUSIONS Being frail is associated with a significantly increased risk for ICU mortality in older patients, while being vulnerable alone did not significantly differ. New Frailty categories might reflect its "continuum" better and predict ICU outcome more accurately. TRIAL REGISTRATION Open Science Framework (OSF: https://osf.io/8buwk/ ).

The impact of ethnic background on ICU care and outcome in sepsis and septic shock - A retrospective multicenter analysis on 17,949 patients. BMC Infect Dis 2023; 23:194.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have been inconclusive about racial disparities in sepsis. This study evaluated the impact of ethnic background on management and outcome in sepsis and septic shock. METHODS This analysis included 17,146 patients suffering from sepsis and septic shock from the multicenter eICU Collaborative Research Database. Generalized estimated equation (GEE) population-averaged models were used to fit three sequential regression models for the binary primary outcome of hospital mortality. RESULTS Non-Hispanic whites were the predominant group (n = 14,124), followed by African Americans (n = 1,852), Hispanics (n = 717), Asian Americans (n = 280), Native Americans (n = 146) and others (n = 830). Overall, the intensive care treatment and hospital mortality were similar between all ethnic groups. This finding was concordant in patients with septic shock and persisted after adjusting for patient-level variables (age, sex, mechanical ventilation, vasopressor use and comorbidities) and hospital variables (teaching hospital status, number of beds in the hospital). CONCLUSION We could not detect ethnic disparities in the management and outcomes of critically ill septic patients and patients suffering from septic shock. Disparate outcomes among critically ill septic patients of different ethnicities are a public health, rather than a critical care challenge.

Abstract
The molecular mechanism of Reduning (RDN) in the treatment of sepsis was analyzed based on network pharmacology. The system pharmacology method was administered to search the active ingredients and targets of RDN, identify the sepsis-related genes, and determine the targets of RDN in the treatment of sepsis. Cytoscape was used to build a “drug component-target” network to screen key compounds. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using STRING, and core targets were revealed through topological analysis. 404 shared targets of RDN and sepsis were introduced into DAVID Bioinformatics Resources 6.8 for GO and KEGG enrichment analysis to predict their possible signaling pathways and explore their molecular mechanisms. GO enrichment analysis highlighted that they were largely related to protein phosphorylation, inflammatory reaction, and positive regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade. KEGG enrichment analysis outlined that they were enriched in PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, rhoptry-associated protein 1 (Rap1) signaling pathway, and advanced glycation end products and receptors for advanced glycation end products (AGE-RAGE) signaling pathway. Molecular biological validation results exposed that RDN could significantly improve the protein expression of p-AKT and p-PI3K, alleviate apoptosis-related proteins expression level and decrease apoptosis rate in LPS-induced HUVECs. In conclusion, it was illustrated that RDN could considerably constrain LPS-induced apoptosis by activating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, which advocated a basis for fundamental mechanism research and clinical application of RDN in the treatment of sepsis.

Relevance of pre-existing anaemia for patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome to an intensive care unit: a retrospective cohort analysis of 7418 patients. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL OPEN 2022; 2:oeac040.

Abstract
Aims Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) frequently suffer from anaemia, but its role in patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) is unclear. This analysis evaluates the prognostic relevance of different degrees of anaemia and their specific impact on disease severity and the outcome in critically ill ACS patients. Methods and results and results The multi-centre electronic Intensive Care Unit Collaborative Research Database was used, and all patients admitted with ACS were included in a retrospective analysis. Anaemia and its degrees were defined according to the criteria by the World Health Organization. A multi-level logistic regression analysis was used to fit three sequential regression models for the binary primary outcome of hospital mortality. A total of 7418 patients were included; 3437 patients (46%) had anaemia on admission. Patients with anaemia were significantly older [61 (53–70) vs. 70 (61–78) years, P < 0.001], more often female (P < 0.001), and required an increased rate of vasopressor use (P < 0.001) and mechanical ventilation (P < 0.001). With the higher Sequential organ failure assessment score (1 vs. 2; P < 0.001) and Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation (35 vs. 47; P < 0.001) scores, a higher degree of anaemia was associated with prolonged ICU stay (2 vs. 5 days, P < 0.001). Even patients with mild anaemia needed significantly from more intensive treatment and suffered worse outcome. Intensive care unit and hospital mortality were inversely associated with haemoglobin levels. Conclusion Nearly half of critically ill patients with ACS suffer from anaemia, which is associated with increased illness severity, complex ICU procedures, and mortality—even in mild anaemia. Haemoglobin on admission is an independent factor for adverse outcome.

Abstract
Purpose Critically ill old intensive care unit (ICU) patients suffering from Sars-CoV-2 disease (COVID-19) are at increased risk for adverse outcomes. This post hoc analysis investigates the association of the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) with the outcome in this vulnerable patient group. Methods The COVIP study is a prospective international observational study that recruited ICU patients ≥ 70 years admitted with COVID-19 (NCT04321265). Several parameters including ADL (ADL; 0 = disability, 6 = no disability), Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), SOFA score, intensive care treatment, ICU- and 3-month survival were recorded. A mixed-effects Weibull proportional hazard regression analyses for 3-month mortality adjusted for multiple confounders. Results This pre-specified analysis included 2359 patients with a documented ADL and CFS. Most patients evidenced independence in their daily living before hospital admission (80% with ADL = 6). Patients with no frailty and no disability showed the lowest, patients with frailty (CFS ≥ 5) and disability (ADL < 6) the highest 3-month mortality (52 vs. 78%, p < 0.001). ADL was independently associated with 3-month mortality (ADL as a continuous variable: aHR 0.88 (95% CI 0.82–0.94, p < 0.001). Being “disable” resulted in a significant increased risk for 3-month mortality (aHR 1.53 (95% CI 1.19–1.97, p 0.001) even after adjustment for multiple confounders. Conclusion Baseline Activities of Daily Living (ADL) on admission provides additional information for outcome prediction, although most critically ill old intensive care patients suffering from COVID-19 had no restriction in their ADL prior to ICU admission. Combining frailty and disability identifies a subgroup with particularly high mortality. Trial registration number: NCT04321265. Graphical Abstract ![]()
