Frailty index based on laboratory tests improves prediction of short-and long-term mortality in patients with critical acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have shown that the frailty index based on laboratory tests (FI-Lab) can identify older adults at increased risk of adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to determine whether the FI-Lab is associated with mortality risk and can provide incremental improvements in risk stratification of patients with critical acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Materials and methods

We conducted a secondary analysis of data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database. A 33-item FI-Lab was constructed. Outcomes of interest were in-hospital and 1-year mortality. Logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between the FI-Lab and outcomes. For the assessment of the incremental predictive value, the FI-Lab was added to several risk stratification scoring systems for critically ill patients, and the following indices were calculated: Δ C-statistic, integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), and net reclassification improvement (NRI).

Results

Out of 2,159 patients, 477 died in hospital (22.1%), and 898 died during the 1-year follow-up period. After adjustment for confounders, the FI-Lab was associated with increased in-hospital mortality [odds ratio (OR) = 1.06, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.05-1.07] and 1-year mortality (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.04-1.06) when assessed as a continuous variable (per 0.01-score increase). When assessed as a categorical variable, the FI-Lab was associated with in-hospital mortality (2nd Quartile: OR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.18-3.03; 3rd Quartile: OR = 3.46, 95% CI: 2.20-5.46; and 4th Quartile: OR = 5.79, 95% CI: 3.61-9.28 compared to 1st Quartile) as well as 1-year mortality (2nd Quartile: OR = 1.66, 95% CI: 1.23-2.24; 3rd Quartile: OR = 2.40, 95% CI: 1.76-3.26; and 4th Quartile: OR = 3.76, 95% CI: 2.66-5.30 compared to 1st Quartile) after adjustment for confounders. The addition of the FI-Lab to all disease severity scores improved discrimination and significantly reclassified in-hospital and 1-year mortality risk.

Conclusion

The FI-Lab was a strong predictor of short- and long-term mortality in patients with critical AMI. The FI-Lab improved the ability to predict mortality in patients with critical AMI and therefore might be useful in the clinical decision-making process.

Project description:BackgroundFrailty has been recognized as an important prognostic indicator in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, no study has focused on critical AMI patients. We aimed to determine the impact of frailty on short- and long-term mortality risk in critical AMI patients.MethodsData from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database was used. Frailty was assessed using the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS). Outcomes were in-hospital mortality and 1-year mortality. Logistic regression and Cox proportional-hazards models were used to investigate the association between frailty and outcomes.ResultsAmong 5,003 critical AMI patients, 2,176 were non-frail (43.5%), 2,355 were pre-frail (47.1%), and 472 were frail (9.4%). The in-hospital mortality rate was 13.8%, and the 1-year mortality rate was 29.5%. In our multivariable model, frailty was significantly associated with in-hospital mortality [odds ratio (OR) = 1.30, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.20-1.41] and 1-year mortality [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.24-1.35] as a continuous variable (per five-score increase). When assessed as categorical variables, pre-frailty and frailty were both associated with in-hospital mortality (OR = 2.80, 95% CI: 2.19-3.59 and OR = 2.69, 95% CI: 1.93-3.73, respectively) and 1-year mortality (HR = 2.32, 95% CI: 2.00-2.69 and HR = 2.81, 95% CI: 2.33-3.39, respectively) after adjustment for confounders. Subgroup analysis showed that frailty was only associated with in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) but not STEMI (p for interaction = 0.012). In addition, frailty was associated with 1-year mortality in both STEMI and non-STEMI patients (p for interaction = 0.447). The addition of frailty produced the incremental value over the initial model generated by baseline characteristics for both in-hospital and 1-year mortality.ConclusionFrailty, as assessed by the HFRS, was associated with both in-hospital and 1-year mortality in critical AMI patients. Frailty improves the prediction of short- and long-term mortality in critical AMI patients and may have potential clinical applications.

Project description:BackgroundThe frailty index based on laboratory tests (FI-lab) can identify individuals at increased risk for adverse health outcomes. The association between the FI-lab and all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure (HF) in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains unknown. This study aimed to determine the correlation between FI-lab and all-cause mortality to evaluate the impact of FI-lab on the prognosis of critically ill patients with HF.MethodsThis retrospective observational study utilized data extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database. The FI-lab, which consists of 33 laboratory tests, was constructed. Patients were then grouped into quartiles (Q1-Q4) based on their FI-lab scores. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare all-cause mortality among the four groups. A Cox proportional hazard analysis was conducted to examine the association between the FI-lab score and all-cause mortality. The incremental predictive value of adding FI-lab to classical disease severity scores was assessed using Harrell's C statistic, integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) and net reclassification improvement (NRI).ResultsAmong 3021 patients, 838 (27.74%) died within 28 days, and 1400 (46.34%) died within a 360 day follow-up period. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that patients with higher FI-lab scores had significantly higher risks of all-cause mortality (log-rank P < 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression suggested that FI-lab, evaluated as a continuous variable (for each 0.01 increase), was associated with increased 28 day mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1.02, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.01-1.03), P < 0.001] and 360 day mortality [HR 1.02, 95% CI (1.01-1.02), P < 0.001]. When assessed in quartiles, the 28 day mortality risk [HR 1.66, 95% CI (1.28-2.15), P < 0.001] and 360 day mortality risk [HR 1.48, 95% CI (1.23-1.8), P < 0.001] were significantly higher for FI-lab Q4 compared with FI-lab Q1. FI-lab significantly improved the predictive capability of classical disease severity scores for 28 and 360 day mortality.ConclusionsIn ICU patients diagnosed with HF, the FI-lab is a potent predictor of short-term and long-term mortality in critically ill patients with HF. The active use of FI-lab to identify high-risk groups among critically ill HF patients and initiate timely interventions may have significant value in improving the prognosis of critically ill patients with HF.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the association between inflammatory markers and 28-day mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).MethodsIn 398 STEMI patients recorded between 2009 and 2013 by the population-based Myocardial Infarction Registry Augsburg, 92 protein biomarkers were measured in admission arterial blood samples using the OLINK inflammatory panel. In multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models, the association between each marker and 28-day mortality was investigated. The values of the biomarkers most significantly associated with mortality were standardized and summarized to obtain a prediction score for 28-day mortality. The predictive ability of this biomarker score was compared to the established GRACE score using ROC analysis. Finally, a combined total score was generated by adding the standardized biomarker score to the standardized GRACE score.ResultsThe markers IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, FGF-21, FGF-23, ST1A1, MCP-1, 4E-BP1, and CST5 were most significantly associated with 28-day mortality, each with FDR-adjusted (false discovery rate adjusted) p-values of < 0.01 in the multivariable logistic regression model. In a ROC analysis, the biomarker score and the GRACE score showed comparable predictive ability for 28-day mortality (biomarker score AUC: 0.7859 [CI: 0.6735-0.89], GRACE score AUC: 0.7961 [CI: 0.6965-0.8802]). By combining the biomarker score and the Grace score, the predictive ability improved with an AUC of 0.8305 [CI: 0.7269-0.9187]. A continuous Net Reclassification Improvement (cNRI) of 0.566 (CI: 0.192-0.94, p-value: 0.003) and an Integrated Discrimination Improvement (IDI) of 0.083 ((CI: 0.016-0.149, p-value: 0.015) confirmed the superiority of the combined score over the GARCE score.ConclusionsInflammatory biomarkers may play a significant role in the pathophysiology of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and AMI-related mortality and might be a promising starting point for personalized medicine, which aims to provide each patient with tailored therapy.
