Abstract

Outcomes in patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) are currently unclear. The present study aimed to explore the prognostic factors of the mortality rate on day 28 in patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) and undergoing IMV. The IMV Mortality Prediction Score (IMPRES) of 129 patients in the ICU receiving IMV after emergency (or selective) endotracheal intubation from March 2018 to August 2020 was calculated. The patients were divided into survival (n=73) and death groups (n=56) on day 28. The predictive factors of independent and combined mortality rates were determined using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the ROC curve (AUC). The AUC of the IMPRES for predicting patient death on day 28 was 0.785 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.704‑0.864, P<0.01). When the IMPRES cut‑off was 4.50, the Youden index was at its maximum (0.487) with a sensitivity of 85.7% and a specificity of 63.0%. The AUC of the ventilator use time (days) at 12.5 days cut‑off was 0.653 (95% CI: 0.56‑0.746, P<0.01), the Youden index was 0.235 with a sensitivity of 52.1% and a specificity of 71.4%. The AUC of the IMPRES combined with the duration of ventilator use was 0.856 (95% CI: 0.789‑0.922, P<0.001), the Youden index was 0.635 with a sensitivity of 84.9% and a specificity of 78.6%. The IMPRES was observed to be the main factor influencing the mortality rate of patients receiving IMV at the ICU on day 28, and the IMPRES combined with the duration of ventilator use had a significant predictive value for the 28‑day mortality rates of these patients.

Introduction

Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is one of the most critical methods for determining patient outcomes in the Intensive Care Units (ICUs) (1). IMV is frequently used to treat patients with severe injuries, poisoning, infectious diseases, neuromuscular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung diseases (2-4). IMV is associated with a mortality rate of up to 13.1-51.0% (5-7). Although IMV is helpful to decrease the mortality rate, the ultimate patient outcomes often do not change significantly. When patients are admitted to the ICU, attending physicians must quickly decide whether to initiate IMV, as time is of the essence. For this purpose, the IMV Mortality Prediction Score (IMPRES) may represent a good method to help physicians with decision-making (8,9). IMPRES is a comprehensive index based on various clinical factors that have been observed to be associated with the mortality rate in ICU patients.

IMPRES considers factors such as patient age, reasons for ICU admission, the severity of illness as measured by scores such as the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE)II or III score, and the number of days the patient has been on mechanical ventilation (10-12). By assessing these factors, IMPRES can provide physicians with a valuable tool to estimate the likelihood of patient survival. Furthermore, it helps to guide decision-making regarding treatment options and care goals. However, the predictive value of the IMPRES has remained to be defined. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the predictive value of the IMPRES and the duration of IMV use for the mortality rate in patients with IMV use on day 28.

Patients and methods

Patients

The present study was a retrospective cross-sectional cohort study conducted in a single medical center. All data were obtained from the patient information database of the Department of ICU of Renhe Hospital (Shanghai, China) between March 2018 and August 2020. A total of 129 patients were admitted to the ICU of the hospital and received IMV over this period. The inclusion criteria were as follows: i) Age >18 years; ii) deterioration of the patient's condition despite being active; iii) disturbance of consciousness; iv) aberrant breathing pattern, including respiratory rate (RR) >35-40/min or <6-8/min, abnormal breathing rhythm, and weak or absent spontaneous breathing; v) severe ventilation and oxygenation disturbances revealed by blood gas analysis or arterial partial pressure of <50 mmHg despite full oxygen therapy; vi) progressive rise in arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide; and vii) progressive decrease in blood pH. The exclusion criteria were as follows: i) Transfer to the routine resuscitation of the intensive care medicine department after surgery; ii) intubation for mechanical ventilation to treat cardiac arrest; iii) patients who refused treatment and were self-discharged. The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of Shanghai Renhe Hospital (Shanghai, China; approval no. KY2022-01). Written informed consent was obtained from the patients that were willing to provide their medical records. Data were collected following international Conventions and guidelines on research involving human subjects, such as the Declaration of Helsinki.

Data collection

The present study and data collection were performed by the ICU specialists. Data were obtained from medical records, medical histories and telephone follow-up records. They included the anonymized name, which was recorded and given a code number, age, sex, underlying diseases, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score (13), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHEII) scores (14) at admission and before incubation, analgesia or sedation drugs use and vasopressor use. The RR, heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SaO2), systolic blood pressure, diastolic pressure, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and duration of ventilator use (days) on day 28 in the ICU were recorded.

IMPRES evaluation

After collecting the above data, the individual IMPRES following the literature descriptions (8) was calculated based on parameters provided in Table I.

Outcome classification

Patients who survived for 28 days in the ICU were assigned to the live group and those who had deceased to the dead group. Critical factors for survival and death were determined and compared.

Statistical analysis

Continuous variables are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (SD) or the median with interquartile ranges (IQR). Categorical variables are presented as percentages and frequencies. The t-test and χ2 test were used to compare continuous and categorical variables, respectively. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to determine the most impactful factors for model construction. A receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was performed and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated to determine the most impactful factors for predicting survival on day 28 in the ICU. The Kaplan-Meier curves with the log-rank test were used to compare overall survival (OS) on day 28 in the ICU. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 21.0 (IBM Corp.). P<0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.

Results

Clinicopathological characteristics

A total of 129 patients who received IMV treatment in the ICU were enrolled in the present study. Their clinicopathological characteristics are presented in Table II. This study included 70 males and 59 females. The patients were divided into dead and live groups based on their statuses on day 28 in the ICU, and the cohort included 56 dead and 73 live cases. The median age of the dead and live groups was 85.0 years (range, 34-101 years) and 81.0 years (range, 24-100 years, Table II), respectively. Compared to the patients in the dead group, patients in the live group had a significantly lower APACHEII score at intubation, as well as SOFA and IMPRES scores (P<0.01). By contrast, there were no marked differences in age, sex and APACHEII scores at admission between the two groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences (P=0.058) between the intubation rate in the live group (69.9%, 51/73) and the dead group (53.6%, 30/56) in the first 24 h of admission. The average ICU hospitalization time (31 days) in the live group was significantly longer than that in the dead group (20 days; P=0.002) because of early death by day 28 in the ICU in the latter group.

The distribution of major diseases upon ICU admission was reviewed (Table III). The results indicated that 69 patients (53.5%) had lung infections when they were admitted to the ICU. The next most common conditions were cerebral infarction (n=15, 11.6%), followed by septic shock (n=12, 9.3%), gastrointestinal bleeding (n=8, 6.2%), hyperosmolar coma (n=5, 3.9%), COPD (n=3, 2.3%), cerebral hemorrhage (n=3, 2.3%), myocardial infarction (n=3, 2.3%), sleeping pill poisoning (n=2, 1.6%) and cervical spine injury (n=2, 1.6%). Other conditions included chest trauma, heat stroke, heart failure, pneumothorax, lung cancer and renal failure (n=1, 0.8%).

Management comparison

To narrow the critical factors for predicting the outcomes of ICU patients, their management and performances in the ICU at day 28 were compared (Table IV). Vasopressor use before intubation, HR, MAP at intubation, duration of ventilator use (days) and ICU stay (days) were significantly different between the dead and live groups (P<0.05). By contrast, non-invasive ventilation before intubation, analgesia and sedation before intubation, SaO2 and RR at intubation did not differ significantly between the two groups (P>0.05). In addition, underlying diseases were compared and no significant differences were observed between the two groups (Table SI). These results revealed that vasopressor use before intubation, HR, MAP at intubation, as well as the duration of ventilator use and ICU stay, were the main determining factors for ICU patient outcomes.

Binary logistic regression analysis

To evaluate the critical factors for OS of ICU patients on day 28, binary logistic regression analysis was performed using the variables that differed significantly between the dead and live groups. The IMPRES and duration of ventilator use were identified as two independent factors for OS in ICU patients on day 28 (P<0.05; Table V). Among these two key factors, the IMPRES showed a negative association with OS on day 28 (B=-0.417). By contrast, the duration of ventilator use was positively associated with OS on day 28 (B=0.061). This result confirmed that the IMPRES was a critical factor affecting OS in ICU patients receiving IMV on day 28.

Predictive value of OS in ICU using an independent factor combined predictive model

To more accurately predict the OS of ICU patients with IMV on day 28, ROC curve analysis was performed and the AUC was calculated using the two independent variables mentioned above (Table VI). The IMPRES showed the following results at a cut-off of 4.50: AUC, 0.785; 95% CI, 0.706-0.864; P<0.001; sensitivity, 63.0%; specificity, 85.7%; and Youden index, 0.487. When the IMPRES score was <4.50, OS was higher on day 28. Regarding the duration of ventilator use (days), the results were as follows with 12.50 days as the cut-off: AUC, 0.653; 95% CI, 0.560-0.746; P=0.003 sensitivity, 52.1%; specificity, 71.4%, and Youden index, 0.235. When the duration of ventilator use was <12.5 days, the OS of ICU patients with IMV was lower. The OS of ICU patients with IMV on day 28 divided into high and low groups according to the cut-off of the IMPRES score and duration of ventilator use is shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. If survival fractions were compared in the dead and live groups using an IMPRES of 4.5 as the cut-off, the number of patients with IMPRES 4.5 vs. <4.5 in the dead and live groups was 48/8 (37.21 vs. 6.20%) and 27/46 (20.93 vs. 35.66%), respectively. There were significant differences (P<0.001) in the number of patients with IMPRES 4.5 between the dead and live groups (Fig. 1). Furthermore, the number of patients at a cut-off for ventilator time of 12.5 days in the dead and live groups was 40/16 (30.01 vs. 12.40%) and 35/38 (27.1 vs. 29.5%, P=0.782), respectively (Fig. 2). The analysis was then performed using the combination of an IMPRES of 4.5 combined with ventilator use for <12.5 days, and it was observed that the number of patients with IMPRES 4.5 combined with ventilator use <12.5 days, and the respective other group, which included patients with IMPRES not 4.5 and ventilator use not <12.5 days, in the dead and live groups was 37/19 (28.68 vs. 14.73%, P<0.01) and 10/63 (7.75 vs. 48.84%), respectively (Fig. 3). By contrast, the number (10/129, 7.75%) of patients with IMPRES 4.5 combined with ventilator use <12.5 days in the live group was markedly lower than number of patients in the other group (63/129, 48.84%, P<0.001). These data indicated a strong differentiation in the outcomes of ICU patients using the IMPRES and duration of ventilator use with cut-off values of 4.5 and <12.5 days, respectively.

The parameters from the ROC curve to predict patient survival based on the IMPRES combined with ventilator use are provided in Tables V and VI. The results indicated a maximum AUC (0.856) and 95% CI (0.789-0.922, P<0.01) with the combination of the IMPRES plus the duration of ventilator use (Fig. 4). The sensitivity and specificity were 84.9 and 78.6%, respectively. This result confirmed that the combination of the IMPRES score and duration of ventilator use showed the greatest efficacy for accurately predicting survival of ICU patients.

Comparison of OS of hospitalized patients by the Kaplan-Meier method

To further investigate the survival conditions at the time of hospitalization, the follow-up period was lengthened up to 100 days and an OS analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, based on the number of live and dead patients (Fig. 5). The mortality rate (78.7%) of patients with IMPRES ≥4.5 and <12.5 days of ventilator use was much higher than that in the other groups (23.2%, P<0.001). This result demonstrated that IMPRES ≥4.50 plus <12.5 days of ventilator use in combination has a high predictive value for favorable outcomes for ICU patients with IMV.

Discussion

The mortality rate of ICU patients receiving IMV is excessively high. Predicting critical factors for patient survival can significantly improve outcomes in this patient group. Our data indicated that the IMPRES and the length of ventilator use (days) were two major independent factors for ICU patient survival on day 28. Among these factors, the IMPRES is an important factor for predicting OS. However, the IMPRES plus length of ventilator use had a greater predictive value for ICU patient survival than either factor alone.

The mortality rate of adult ICU patients ranges between 10.1-45.1% and is related to acute organ dysfunctions (15,16). By contrast, the mortality rate of ICU patients with IMV is higher than that of patients without IMV because IMV use is frequently associated with organ failure (17) and prolonged intubation markedly increases ventilator-acquired pneumonia (18). Therefore, numerous studies have attempted to predict the mortality rate of ICU patients using different strategies (19-21). However, these evaluation systems have certain limitations. For example, patients with cancer or organ transplantation have relatively low mortality rates according to the Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 system (22). By contrast, the SOFA score is more helpful for predicting the mortality of patients with sepsis (22-24). Currently, most physicians use the APACHE score to predict the severity of disease. However, this score has a relatively low predictive value in patients undergoing neurosurgery (25). Another report revealed that the APACHEIII score and surgery type were strong predictors of mortality in ICU patients (26). Recently, machine learning models were used to predict the mortality rate at 30 days after IMV use (9,27) and higher AUC values were reported for this approach compared to conventional scoring systems. Chan et al (27) reported on 30-day, 90-day and 1-year mortality prediction in ICU patients, indicating higher AUC values in short-term follow-up using independent predictive factors. Another study showed that the intensity of oxygen exposure in ICU patients receiving IMV were a critical factor for their outcomes on day 28(5). Therefore, day 28 was selected as the cut-off time in the present study. The current study aimed to determine the critical factors for predicting survival in ICU patients on IMV on day 28. It was observed that the APACHEII and SOFA score were not determining factors for the survival rate on day 28, although the APACHEII and SOFA score in the dead group were significantly higher than those in the live group. This bias may have occurred because all of the patients with high APACHEII and SOFA scores underwent IMV.

To the best of our knowledge, the present study was the first to use individual variables to evaluate the key factors for predicting mortality in ICU patients receiving IMV on day 28. Binary logistic regression and ROC curve analysis were used to narrow down the critical factors related to outcomes in this patient group. It was observed that the IMPRES and length of ventilator use were the two most critical factors for this application. Ozlu et al (8) analyzed the mortality rate of 1,463 cases in 41 ICUs using the IMPRES method, including 583 patients on IMV and 880 patients who did not receive IMV. Their results showed that the IMPRES helped to predict outcomes in the ICU patients on IMV. They selected 20 variables from the initial 158 variables and established evaluation criteria using different mortality risk values. Compared to other mortality predictive methods in the ICU patients, the IMPRES utilizes not only available clinical data, but also takes into account the physician's subjective anticipation. The results provided a more accurate prediction than other methods such as the APACHEII or SOFA scores (8). This method may be a superior measure for short-term mortality prediction because the physician makes a decision based on bedside data collection for patients at the ICU receiving IMV. Their results showed that 76.3% of patients with an IMPRES of 5.1 died. The present study showed that patients with an IMPRES of 4.50 had a mortality rate of 78.7% on day 28. The present result thus confirmed that the IMPRES was a critical variable for predicting mortality in ICU patients on IMV.

The mortality rate of ICU patients on IMV can be impacted by various factors, such as pneumonia caused by ventilator use (28). One study reported that the duration of ventilator use represented another critical factor for predicting outcomes in ICU patients on IMV, as longer ventilator use could cause nosocomial infection, raising both ethical and legal concerns (29). Therefore, the optimal length of ventilator use represents another key issue for predicting mortality in ICU patients. In the present study, binary logistic regression and ROC curve analyses were used to determine the critical factors affecting the outcomes of ICU patients on IMV. The present results indicated that patients with IMPRES <4.5 or duration of ventilator use 12.5 days have a probability of long survival. Otherwise, patients' survival probability was low. In addition, the combination of IMPRES and length of ventilator use <12.5 days had a greater predictive ability than either factor alone.

The present study had several key limitations worth noting. First, the sample size was relatively small. Furthermore, it was a retrospective study and certain data may have been missed. In addition, the data were from a single center and may have been affected by the physicians' experiences. Therefore, a prospective study with a large sample size across multiple centers may further confirm our observations.

In conclusion, the present study confirmed that the IMPRES and duration of ventilator use represent two critical factors for predicting mortality in ICU patients receiving IMV. Those patients with an IMPRES of 4.5 or <12.5 days of ventilator use had high mortality rates in the present study cohort. The combination of the IMPRES and duration of ventilator use exhibited a greater predictive power than either factor alone. This conclusion will be helpful in assisting ICU physicians with clinical decision-making.
