Aspirin use is associated with the reduced mortality risk in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with sepsis: a retrospective study using the MIMIC-IV database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sepsis has the characteristics of high morbidity and high mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an important cause of death. Studies have shown the value of aspirin on COPD and sepsis, separately, but its role in the combined COPD and sepsis patients is unclear. This study aimed to analyze the association of aspirin use after ICU admission with the mortality risk in COPD patients with sepsis.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective study using the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database, enrolling 2,964 COPD patients with sepsis admitted to ICU. They were divided into aspirin users (n=1,642) and non-users (n=1,322). We evaluated the association of aspirin use with in-hospital and 28-da
