Prognosis of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: the impact of urine output on mortality.
Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2014 June
BACKGROUND: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been utilized for patients in critical condition, including life-threatening respiratory failure and postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock. This study analyzed the outcomes of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) treated by ECMO and identified the relationship between prognosis and urine output (UO) obtained on the first day of ECMO support.
METHODS: This study reviewed the medical records of 81 ARDS patients after ECMO support on a specialized cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit of a tertiary care university hospital between May 2006 and December 2011. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory variables were retrospectively collected as survival predictors.
RESULTS: The overall mortality rate was 55.5%. A multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score, mean arterial pressure, platelet count, and UO on day 1 of ECMO support were independent risk factors for hospital mortality. By using the areas under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve, UO obtained on the first day of ECMO support demonstrated good discriminative power (AUROC 0.754 ± 0.056, p < 0.001). Urine output had the best discriminative power, the best Youden index, and the highest overall correctness of prediction. Cumulative survival rates at the 6-month follow-up differed significantly (p < 0.001) for UO 1,432 mL or greater on day 1 of ECMO support versus those with UO less than 1,432 mL on day 1 of ECMO support.
CONCLUSIONS: In ARDS patients receiving ECMO support, UO obtained on the first day of ECMO support showed good prognostic ability in predicting hospital mortality.
