ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the prognostic factors of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of patients admitted to ICU of Beijing Geriatric Hospital from January 2005 to December 2016 were collected. According to the prognosis, the patients were divided into death group and survival group, and the mortality trend with time and age was observed. Survival and death were treated as dependent variables, while the gender, age, reason of ICU admission, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, whether undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (MV), invasive MV reason, duration of invasive MV, whether successful weaning, whether ICU nosocomial infection, hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP), central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), acute kidney injury (AKI) occurred, whether undergoing continuous blood purification (CBP), whether septic shock occurred, whether undergoing invasive hemodynamic monitoring or blood transfusion and length of ICU stay were used as the independent variables. First, the clinical data was analyzed by univariate analysis. Second, the independent variables influencing the dependent variable were analyzed by logistic regression analysis to screen out prognostic factors of ICU patients. Results During the study period, 1325 patients were treated, 26 patients with missing data, 1299 patients in final group, 865 patients in survival group, and 434 in death group. The proportion of men in the patients was larger (67.7%), and the age span was larger (16-105 years old). The mortality rate in different years showed no significant difference (χ2 = 16.712, P = 0.117), and with the increase of age, the mortality rate of ICU showed an upward trend (χ2 = 16.399, P = 0.022). The univariate analysis showed that ICU deaths were unrelated to gender, but associated with age, APACHE Ⅱ score, invasive MV, invasive MV reason, duration of invasive MV, successful weaning, ICU nosocomial infection, HAP, CLABSI, AKI, septic shock, whether CBP or invasive hemodynamic monitoring, blood transfusion, the reason of ICU admission and the length of ICU stay (all P < 0.05). The relevant factors with statistical difference found in univariate analysis were analyzed in logistic regression analysis, which showed that whether successful weaning [odds ratio (OR) = 0.016, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.010-0.025], and whether AKI (OR = 3.917, 95%CI = 2.331-6.582) or septic shock occurred (OR = 2.808, 95%CI = 1.604-4.915) were the dependent variables of death or survival (all P = 0.000). Regression coefficient (β value) of successful weaning was -4.155, suggesting that unsuccessful weaning patients were likely to die. The β value of AKI and septic shock was 1.365 and 1.033, suggesting that the patients with AKI or septic shock were more likely to die. Conclusions Whether the success of weaning, whether the occurrence of AKI or septic shock are independent prognostic factors for the prognosis of ICU patients. Measures for the prevention of the above three aspects could improve the prognosis of ICU patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of intermediate care in patients with after acute stroke.Methods Six hundred cases patients with after acute stroke were divided into experimental group with 301 cases and control groups with 299 cases according to the opinions of patient and family members.The experimental group was given intermediate care for 2 weeks.The control group was given the basic treatment of cerebral infarction.Activities of Daily Living (ADL) score,fall risk score and geriatric depression scale (GDS) were compared between the two groups at the time of entry,2 weeks after treatment,6 months and 12 months of follow-up.Results There were no significant differences in terms of ADL score,fall risk score and GDS between the two groups at the time of entry(P>0.05).Compared with at the time of entry,ADL score and fall risk score were decreased of two group after 2 weeks after treatment,6 months and 12 months of follow-up(P <0.05),and ADL score and fall risk score of the experimental group both were lower than of the control group after 2 weeks after treatment,6 months and 12 months of follow-up(P<0.05).Compared with at the time of entry and 2 weeks after treatment,GDS of two groups both were decreased 6 months and 12 months of follow-up (P <0.05),but there was no significant difference between the two groups in different time periods(P >0.05).Conclusion Intermediate care has a significant effect on improving the activities of daily living and reducing the risk of falls in patients with after acute stroke,and can reduce the GDS score.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the roles of heavy metals in the onset of Alzheimer 's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) and to analyze the relationship between cognitive impairment and plasma heavy metal concentrations in patients with AD. Methods Fifty patients with AD, 20 with VaD, and 20 healthy controls were included in the study. According to the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), the AD patients were divided into mild dementia (CDR = 1 )and moderate to severe dementia (CDR = 2 to 3 ) groups. All the observational subjects performed the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, Hachinski ischemic index score,and CDR score. A fasting venous blood sample was taken from all the subjects for detection of the heavy metal (Tu, Ca, Fe, Me, Zn, Hg, Cr, Co, Se, and Pb) concentrations at the same time.Results Compared to the control group, the plasma Cu concentration in the mild dementia and moderate to severe dementia groups increased significantly (0. 66 ± 0. 2 1, 0. 84 ± 1.11, and 0. 85 ± 1.12 ng/g, respectively (P < 0. 05). There was no significant difference between the mild AD group and the moderate to severe dementia group. The Pb concentration in the control group was significantly lower than that in the moderate to severe dementia group (22.79 ±3.94 ng/gvs. 40. 82 ± 16.96 ng/g, P < 0. 05 ). While there were no significant differences between the control and the mild dementia and moderate to severe dementia groups. The plasma Cu concentration (0.84 ± 1.25 ng/g vs. 0. 66 ± 0.21 ng/g, P << 0. 05) and Pb concentration (32.42 ± 14. 12 ng/gvs. 22.79 ± 3.94 ng/g, P < 0. 05) in the AD group were significantly higher than that in the control group. While there was no significant difference between the VaD group and the control group for metal concentrations. There was also no significant difference for metal concentrations hetween the VaD group and the AD group. Conclusions Some heavy metals, such as Cu and Pb might have participated in the pathogenic process of AD, but the heavy metal concentrations did not have close relationship with the onset of VaD. There was no significant correlation between the degree of cognitive impairment and the plasma metal concentrations in patients with AD.
