The relationship between transthoracic echocardiography and mortality in adult patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome: analysis of the MIMIC-III database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

For patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), timely assessment of the condition and real-time adjustment of the treatment plan are of critical importance. To this end, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is widely used in clinical practice, but whether TTE can improve the short-term prognosis of MODS patients is currently unclear.

Methods

We extracted data of patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database and included cases according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The primary endpoint was the mortality within 28 days after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), and multi-variate regression analysis was conducted to infer the risk factors associated death within 28 days after ICU admission.
