Predictive factors of renal replacement therapy in patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation / 中华急诊医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the predictive factors of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients.Methods:The clinical data of 68 ECMO patients treated at Emergence Department of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital from January 2015 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) was used to assess the usage of vasoactive-inotropic drugs on day 1, 2 and 3 of ECMO (24 h VIS, 48 h VIS, and 72 h VIS). According to received RRT or not, patients were divided into the RRT group and non-RRT group. Age, gender, weight, VIS, presence of cardiac arrest before ECMO, ECMO mode, and ECMO treatment time were compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictive factors for RRT in ECMO patients.Results:Of the enrolled patients, 73.5% of ECMO patients received RRT. The mean age, 24 h VIS, ECMO failure and mortality of the RRT group were significantly higher than those of the non-RRT group ( P <0.05). The use of RRT was 87.8% in elderly ECMO patients (> cutoff age of 38.5 years). According to the cutoff value of 24 h VIS (33.75), ECMO patients were divided into the high VIS group and low VIS group. The rates of RRT and mortality were both exceeded 90% in the high VIS group, which was significantly higher than that of the low VIS group ( P <0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=1.223) and 24 h VIS ( OR=1.033) were predictive factors of RRT in ECMO patients ( P <0.05). Conclusions:Age and 24 h VIS show the predictive value for RRT in ECMO patients.
