RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: We performed a systemic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of monocyte distribution width (MDW) and to compare with procalcitonin and C-reactive protein (CRP), in adult patients with sepsis. DATA SOURCES: A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to identify all relevant diagnostic accuracy studies published before October 1, 2022. STUDY SELECTION: Original articles reporting the diagnostic accuracy of MDW for sepsis detection with the Sepsis-2 or Sepsis-3 criteria were included. DATA EXTRACTION: Study data were abstracted by two independent reviewers using a standardized data extraction form. DATA SYNTHESIS: Eighteen studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of MDW were 84% (95% CI [79-88%]) and 68% (95% CI [60-75%]). The estimated diagnostic odds ratio and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve (SROC) were 11.11 (95% CI [7.36-16.77]) and 0.85 (95% CI [0.81-0.89]). Significant heterogeneity was observed among the included studies. Eight studies compared the diagnostic accuracies of MDW and procalcitonin, and five studies compared the diagnostic accuracies of MDW and CRP. For MDW versus procalcitonin, the area under the SROC was similar (0.88, CI = 0.84-0.93 vs 0.82, CI = 0.76-0.88). For MDW versus CRP, the area under the SROC was similar (0.88, CI = 0.83-0.93 vs 0.86, CI = 0.78-0.95). CONCLUSIONS: The results of the meta-analysis indicate that MDW is a reliable diagnostic biomarker for sepsis as procalcitonin and CRP. Further studies investigating the combination of MDW and other biomarkers are advisable to increase the accuracy in sepsis detection.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: An elevated level of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) frequently accompanies an episode of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). However, the predictive value of cTnI in elderly SVT patients has not been examined. METHODS: We collected the electronic medical records of elderly SVT patients (over 65 years old) who visited four Taiwanese emergency departments over a 2-year period. The patients who underwent cTnI testing were included in the cohort and further categorized based on their cTnI results (positive or negative). The study's primary outcomes were the 5-year risks of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and SVT recurrence. RESULTS: One hundred and twenty-four patients met the inclusion criteria. Of these patients, 39 (31.5%) had a positive cTnI result, and 85 (68.5%) had a negative cTnI result. Patients with a positive cTnI result were older (p = 0.029) and had a longer hospital stay (p = 0.023) than those with a negative cTnI result. Multivariate analysis showed that age > 75 years (OR = 2.41; 95% CI 1.07-5.45; p = 0.034) was an independent predictor for cTnI elevation. In the survival analysis, no difference in the incidence of five-year MACE (p = 0.656) was observed between the cTnI-positive and cTnI-negative groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that a history of coronary artery disease was the only significant independent risk factor for MACE (HR = 4.30; 95% 95% CI 1.41-13.05; p = 0.010). For SVT recurrence, the multivariate analysis revealed that previous SVT (HR = 3.37; 95% CI 1.53-7.39; p = 0.002), smoking history (HR = 2.32; 95% CI 1.03-5.24; p = 0.043), and RFA treatment (HR = 0.20; 95% CI 0.06-0.65; p = 0.008) were significant independent predictors. CONCLUSIONS: An increased cardiac troponin level may not effectively indicate the risk of MACE in elderly SVT patients. Physicians might want to be cautious when interpreting troponin test results for this specific patient group.

RESUMO

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains a global pandemic. Early warning scores (EWS) are used to identify potential clinical deterioration, and this study evaluated the ability of the Rapid Emergency Medicine score (REMS), National Early Warning Score (NEWS), and Modified EWS (MEWS) to predict in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients. This study retrospectively analyzed data from COVID-19 patients who presented to the emergency department and were hospitalized between 1 May and 31 July 2021. The area under curve (AUC) was calculated to compare predictive performance of the three EWS. Data from 306 COVID-19 patients (61 ± 15 years, 53% male) were included for analysis. REMS had the highest AUC for in-hospital mortality (AUC: 0.773, 95% CI: 0.69-0.85), followed by NEWS (AUC: 0.730, 95% CI: 0.64-0.82) and MEWS (AUC: 0.695, 95% CI: 0.60-0.79). The optimal cut-off value for REMS was 6.5 (sensitivity: 71.4%; specificity: 76.3%), with positive and negative predictive values of 27.9% and 95.4%, respectively. Computing REMS for COVID-19 patients who present to the emergency department can help identify those at risk of in-hospital mortality and facilitate early intervention, which can lead to better patient outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acute, catastrophic bleeding in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) is challenging and also a burden for their families and frontline physicians. This study analyzed the risk factors for rebleeding and long-term outcomes in these patients with HNC. METHODS: Patients who presented to the emergency department (ED) with HNC bleeding were enrolled in this study (N = 231). Variables of patients with or without rebleeding were compared, and associated factors were investigated using Cox's proportional hazard model. RESULTS: Of the 231 patients enrolled, 112 (48.5%) experienced a recurrent bleeding event. The cumulative rebleeding incidence rate was 23% at 30 days, 49% at 180 days, and 56% at 1 year. Multivariate Cox regression analyses demonstrated that overweight-to-obesity (HR = 0.52, 95% CI 0.28-0.98, p = 0.043), laryngeal cancer (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.13, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-4.23, p = 0.031), chemoradiation (HR = 1.49, 95% CI 1.001-2.94, p = 0.049), and second primary cancer (HR = 1.75, 95% CI 1.13-2.70, p = 0.012) are significant independent predictors of rebleeding, and the prognostic factors for overall survival included underweight (HR = 1.89, 95% CI 1.22-2.93, p = 0.004), heart rate > 110 beats/min (HR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.04-2.39, p = 0.032), chemoradiation (HR = 2.31, 95% CI 1.18-4.52, p = 0.015), and local recurrence (HR = 1.74, 95% CI 1.14-2.67, p = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS: Overweight-to-obesity is a protective factor, while laryngeal cancer, chemoradiation and a second primary cancer are risk factors for rebleeding in patients with HNC. Our results may assist physicians in risk stratification of patients with HNC bleeding.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Acute head and neck cancer (HNC) bleeding is a life-threatening situation that frequently presents to the emergency department (ED). The purpose of the present study was to analyze the risk factors for the 30-day mortality in patients with HNC bleeding. METHODS: We included patients who presented to the ED with HNC bleeding (n = 241). Patients were divided into the survivor and nonsurvivor groups. Variables were compared, and the associated factors were examined with Cox's proportional hazard model. RESULTS: Of the 241 patients enrolled, the most common bleeding site was the oral cavity (n = 101, 41.9%). More than half of the patients had advanced HNC stage while 41.5% had local recurrence. The proportion of active bleeding was significantly higher in the nonsurvivor group (70.5% vs. 53.3%, p = 0.038). 42.3% received blood transfusion and 5.0% required inotropic support. In total, 21.2% of the patients experienced rebleeding, and 18.3% died within 30 days. Multivariate analyses indicated that a heart rate > 100 (beats/min) (HR = 2.42; Cl 1.15-5.06; p = 0.019) and inotropic support (HR = 3.00; Cl 1.14-7.89; p = 0.026) were statistically significant independent risk factors for 30-day mortality. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study may aid physicians in the evaluation of short-term survival in HNC bleeding patients and provide critical information for risk stratification and medical decisions.

RESUMO

Background and Objectives: Septic arthritis is a medical emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality. The incidence rate of septic arthritis among dialysis patients is higher than the general population, and dialysis patients with bacteremia frequently experience adverse outcomes. The aim of this study was to identify the clinical features and risk factors for longer hospital length of stay (LOS), positive blood culture, and in-hospital mortality in dialysis patients with septic arthritis. Materials and Methods: The medical records of 52 septic arthritis dialysis patients admitted to our hospital from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2020 were analyzed. The primary outcomes were bacteremia and in-hospital mortality. Variables were compared, and risk factors were evaluated using linear and logistic regression models. Results: Twelve (23.1%) patients had positive blood cultures. A tunneled cuffed catheter for dialysis access was used in eight (15.4%) patients, and its usage rate was significantly higher in patients with positive blood culture than in those with negative blood culture (41.7 vs. 7.5%, p = 0.011). Fever was present in 15 (28.8%) patients, and was significantly more frequent in patients with positive blood culture (58.3 vs. 20%, p = 0.025). The most frequently involved site was the hip (n = 21, 40.4%). The most common causative pathogen was Gram-positive cocci, with MRSA (n = 7, 58.3%) being dominant. The mean LOS was 29.9 ± 25.1 days. The tunneled cuffed catheter was a significant predictor of longer LOS (Coef = 0.49; Cl 0.25−0.74; p < 0.001). The predictors of positive blood culture were fever (OR = 4.91; Cl 1.10−21.83; p = 0.037) and tunneled cuffed catheter (OR = 7.60; Cl 1.31−44.02; p = 0.024). The predictor of mortality was tunneled cuffed catheter (OR = 14.33; Cl 1.12−183.18; p = 0.041). Conclusions: In the dialysis population, patients with tunneled cuffed catheter for dialysis access had a significantly longer hospital LOS. Tunneled cuffed catheter and fever were independent predictors of positive blood culture, and tunneled cuffed catheter was the predictor of in-hospital mortality. The recognition of the associated factors allows for risk stratification and determination of the optimal treatment plan in dialysis patients with septic arthritis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is currently recognized as the potential first-line imaging test for patients with suspected acute type A aortic syndrome (AAAS). Direct TTE sign for detecting AAAS is positive if there is an intimal flap separating two aortic lumens or aortic wall thickening seen in the ascending aorta. Indirect TTE sign indicates high-risk features of AAAS, such as aortic root dilatation, pericardial effusion, and aortic regurgitation. Our aim is to summarize the existing clinical evidence regarding the diagnostic accuracy of TTE and to evaluate its potential role in the management of patients with suspected AAAS. METHODS: We included prospective or retrospective diagnostic cohort studies, written in any language, that specifically focused on using TTE to diagnose AAAS from databases such as PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio [1], and hierarchical summary receiver-operating characteristic (HSROC) curve were calculated for TTE in diagnosing AAAS. We applied Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy (QUADAS-2) tool and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) quality assessment criteria. RESULTS: Ten studies (2886 patients) were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of direct TTE signs were 58% (95% CI, 38-76%) and 94% (95% CI, 89-97%). For any TTE signs, the pooled sensitivity and specificity were 91% (95% CI, 85-94%) and 74% (95% CI, 61-84%). The diagnostic accuracy of direct TTE signs was significantly higher than that of any TTE signs, as measured by the area under the HSROC curve [0.95 (95% CI, 0.92-0.96) vs. 0.87 (95% CI, 0.84-0.90)] in four studies. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that TTE could serve as the initial imaging test for patients with suspected AAAS. Given its high specificity, the presence of direct TTE signs may indicate AAAS, whereas the absence of any TTE signs, combined with low clinical suspicion, could suggest a lower likelihood of AAAS.

RESUMO

(1) Background: Iliopsoas abscess (IPA) is usually overlooked due to its nonspecific symptoms and signs. The resulting delayed diagnosis and treatment can increase morbidity and mortality. The purpose of the present study was to identify the risk factors for the unfavorable outcomes associated with IPA. (2) Methods: We included patients who presented to the emergency department and were diagnosed with IPA. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Variables were compared, and the associated factors were examined with Cox proportional hazards model. (3) Results: Of the 176 patients enrolled, IPA was of primary origin in 50 patients (28.4%) and of secondary origin in 126 (71.6%). Skeletal origin was the most common source of secondary IPA (n = 92, 52.3%). The most common pathogens were Gram-positive cocci. Eighty-eight (50%) patients underwent percutaneous drainage, 32 (18.2%) patients underwent surgical debridement, and 56 (31.8%) patients received antibiotics. Multivariate analyses indicated that age > 65 (year) (HR = 5.12; CI 1.03-25.53; p = 0.046), congestive heart failure (HR = 5.13; CI 1.29-20.45; p = 0.021), and platelet < 150 (103/µL) (HR = 9.26; CI 2.59-33.09; p = 0.001) were significant independent predictors of in-hospital mortality in Model A, while the predictors in Model B included age > 65 (year) (HR = 5.12; CI 1.03-25.53; p = 0.046) and septic shock (HR = 61.90; CI 7.37-519.46; p < 0.001). (4) Conclusions: IPA is a medical emergency. Our study reported that patients with advanced age, congestive heart failure, thrombocytopenia, or septic shock had a significantly higher risk of mortality, and the recognition of the associated factors may aid in risk stratification and the determination of the optimal treatment plan for IPA patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Peri-intubation cardiac arrest (PICA) is an uncommon yet serious complication of intubation. Although some associated risk factors have been identified, the results have been inconsistent. The aim of this study was to systematically review the relevant research and examine the associated risk factors of PICA through meta-analysis. METHODS: Studies examining the risk factors for PICA before 1 Nov. 2022 were identified through searches in MEDLINE (OvidSP) and EMBASE. The reported adjusted or unadjusted odds ratios (ORs) and risk ratios (RRs) were recorded. We calculated pooled ORs and created forest plots using a random-effects model to identify the statistically significant risk factors. We assessed the certainty of evidence for each risk factor. RESULTS: Eight studies were included in the meta-analysis. Pre-intubation hypotension, with a pooled OR of 4.96 (95% confidence interval [C.I.]: 3.75-6.57), pre-intubation hypoxemia, with a pooled OR of 4.43 (95% C.I.: 1.24-15.81), and two or more intubation attempts, with a pooled OR of 1.88 (95% C.I.: 1.09-3.23) were associated with a significantly higher risk of PICA. The pooled incidence of PICA was 2.1% (95% C.I.: 1.5%-3.0%). CONCLUSIONS: Pre-intubation hypotension, hypoxemia, and more intubation attempts are significant risk factors for PICA. The findings could help physicians identify patients at risk under the acute setting.

RESUMO

Background: Esophageal cancer is a highly malignant neoplasm with poor prognosis. Of its patients, upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is one of the most challenging and threatening conditions in the emergency department (ED). However, no previous studies have analyzed the etiologies and clinical outcomes in this specific population. This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics and risk factors for 30-day mortality in esophageal cancer patients with UGIB. Methods: This retrospective cohort study enrolled 249 adult patients with esophageal cancer presenting with UGIB in the ED. Patients was divided into the survivor and non-survivor groups, and their demographic information, medical history, comorbidities, laboratory parameters, and clinical findings were recorded. The factors associated with 30-day mortality were identified using Cox's proportional hazard model. Results: Among the 249 patients in this study, 30-day mortality occurred in 47 patients (18.9%). The most common causes of UGIB were tumor ulcer (53.8%), followed by gastric/duodenal ulcer (14.5%), and arterial-esophageal fistula (AEF) (12.0%). Multivariate analyses indicated that underweight (HR = 2.02, p = 0.044), history of chronic kidney disease (HR = 6.39, p < 0.001), active bleeding (HR = 2.24, p = 0.039), AEF (HR = 2.23, p = 0.046), and metastatic lymph nodes (HR = 2.99, p = 0.021) were independent risk factors for 30-day mortality. Conclusions: The most common cause of UGIB in esophageal cancer patients was tumor ulcer. AEF, accounting for 12% of UGIB in our study, is not an uncommon cause. Underweight, underlying chronic kidney disease, active bleeding, AEF, and tumor N stage > 0 were independent risk factors for 30-day mortality.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The shock index (SI) predicts short-term mortality in trauma patients. Other shock indices have been developed to improve discriminant accuracy. The authors examined the discriminant ability of the SI, modified SI (MSI), and reverse SI multiplied by the Glasgow Coma Scale (rSIG) on short-term mortality and functional outcomes. METHODS: The authors evaluated a cohort of adult trauma patients transported to emergency departments. The first vital signs were used to calculate the SI, MSI, and rSIG. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves and test results were used to compare the discriminant performance of the indices on short-term mortality and poor functional outcomes. A subgroup analysis of geriatric patients with traumatic brain injury, penetrating injury, and nonpenetrating injury was performed. RESULTS: A total of 105 641 patients (49±20 years, 62% male) met the inclusion criteria. The rSIG had the highest areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for short-term mortality (0.800, CI: 0.791-0.809) and poor functional outcome (0.596, CI: 0.590-0.602). The cutoff for rSIG was 18 for short-term mortality and poor functional outcomes with sensitivities of 0.668 and 0.371 and specificities of 0.805 and 0.813, respectively. The positive predictive values were 9.57% and 22.31%, and the negative predictive values were 98.74% and 89.97%. rSIG also had better discriminant ability in geriatrics, traumatic brain injury, and nonpenetrating injury. CONCLUSION: The rSIG with a cutoff of 18 was accurate for short-term mortality in Asian adult trauma patients. Moreover, rSIG discriminates poor functional outcomes better than the commonly used SI and MSI.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study examined the association between lapsed time and trauma patients, suggesting that a shorter time to definitive care leads to a better outcome. METHODS: We used the Pan-Asian Trauma Outcome Study registry to analyze a retrospective cohort of 963 trauma patients who received surgical intervention or transarterial embolization within 2 h of injury in Asian countries between January 2016 and December 2020. Exposure measurement was recorded every 30 min from injury to definitive care. The 30 day mortality rate and functional outcome were studied using the Modified Rankin Scale ratings of 0-3 vs 4-6 for favorable vs poor functional outcomes, respectively. Subgroup analyses of different injury severities and patterns were performed. RESULTS: The mean time from injury to definitive care was 1.28 ± 0.69 h, with cases categorized into the following subgroups: < 30, 30-60, 60-90, and 90-120 min. For all patients, a longer interval was positively associated with the 30 day mortality rate (p = 0.053) and poor functional outcome (p < 0.05). Subgroup analyses showed the same association in the major trauma (n = 321, p < 0.05) and torso injury groups (n = 388, p < 0.01) with the 30 day mortality rate and in the major trauma (p < 0.01), traumatic brain injury (n = 741, p < 0.05), and torso injury (p < 0.05) groups with the poor functional outcome. CONCLUSION: Even within 2 h, a shorter time to definitive care is positively associated with patient survival and functional outcome, especially in the subgroups of major trauma and torso injury.

RESUMO

Early surgical intervention in hip fractures is associated with lower complications. This study aimed to determine the appropriate operation time among Asian geriatric patients. The data of 1118 elderly patients with hip fracture at Mackay Memorial Hospital from 1 January 2011, to 31 July 2019, were retrospectively examined. Association between operation waiting time and the occurrence of complications was calculated using a cubic spline model. Significantly increased incidence of pneumonia, myocardial infarction, and heart failure was observed in 30 and 90 days when the patient's surgical waiting time exceeded 36 h. The incidence rates of pneumonia across the early and delayed groups within 30 and 90 days were 4.4% vs. 7.9%, and 6.2% vs. 10.7%, those of myocardial infarction were 3.0% vs. 7.2%, and 5.7% vs. 9.3%, and those of heart failure were 15.2% vs. 26.8%, and 16.2% vs. 28.5%. Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism were not associated with surgical delay. The overall 30-day mortality rate was 5.4%, and no significant difference was observed when the surgical waiting time exceeded 36 h. In summary, operation waiting time exceeding 36-h was associated with increased rates of pneumonia, myocardial infarction, and heart failure in Asian geriatric patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
