Clinical features and risk factor analysis of severe trauma patients with acute kidney injury / 中华急诊医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of the severe trauma patients with Acute kidney injury (AKI) ,and analyze the risk factors and clinical prognosis.Methods:Clinical data of severe trauma patients admitted to ICU of Xiaolan Hospital of Southern Medical University, from July 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic data, basic diseases, critical disease score, serum creatinine, hemoglobin, treatment options, blood transfusion volume, and clinical outcomes were collected to establish a clinical database. AKI was diagnosed and graded according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criterion, and trauma type was classified according to the main injury part. The clinical data and laboratory examination of different groups were compared to analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis in severe trauma patients. The risk factors of AKI in severe trauma patients were analyzed by Logistic regression.Results:(1) A total of 175 patients with severe trauma were eligible for inclusion, and the incidence of AKI was 30.9%(54/175), including 29 patients with AKI stage 1(16.6%), 15 patients with AKI stage 2 (8.6%), and 10 patients with AKI stage 3 (5.7%). In the cohort, the rate of in-hospital renal replacement therapy was 4%, in-hospital mortality was 5.7%, and 28-day mortality was 16.6%. (2) The age, shock patients, ICU admission serum creatinine, APACHEⅡscore and ISS score of AKI group were significantly higher than those of non-AKI group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in gender, underlying diseases (hypertension and diabetes), ICU admission hemoglobin level and contrast agent utilization rate( P>0.05). Compared with the non-AKI group, AKI group had higher rates of surgical treatment (63% vs. 44.6%), more blood transfusion [875(720,1110)mL & 670(610,750)mL], longer ICU stay [6(4,11)d & 4(2.5,7.5)d], and higher rates of mechanical ventilation (96.3% vs. 81%), renal replacement therapy rate (13% vs. 0), in-hospital mortality (13% vs. 2.5%) and 28-day mortality (25.9% vs. 12.4%), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). (3) The incidence of AKI was different in patients with different types of severe trauma, and the abdominal trauma group with a highest rate (50%). The serum creatinine at ICU admission and the peak value during hospitalization in abdominal trauma group were significantly higher than those in other injury types ( P<0.05). (4) Logistic regression analysis showed Age [ OR=1.020, 95% CI(1.003,1.038), P=0.024], APACHEⅡscore [ OR=1.137, 95% CI(1.053,1.228), P=0.001], shock [ OR=1.102, 95% CI(0.906,1.208), P=0.034], ICU admission serum creatinine [ OR=1.068, 95% CI(1.036,1.102), P=0.000], surgical treatment [ OR=4.205, 95% CI(1.446,12.233), P=0.008], blood transfusion volume [ OR=1.006, 95% CI(1.002,1.009), P=0.001] were independent risk factors for AKI in severe trauma patients. Conclusions:Severe trauma patients yield a high incidence of AKI influencing clinical prognosis. The incidence of AKI varies with different types of severe trauma. Age, APACHEⅡscore, shock, ICU admission serum creatinine, surgical treatment, and blood transfusion volume are independent risk factors for AKI in severe trauma patients.
