Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the predictive value of modified shock index (MSI) on cardiac dysfunction and prognostic risk in septic shock patients.
MethodsA total of 139 patients with septic shock were selected, the general clinical data, laboratory testing indicators, APACHE-Ⅱ score and cardiac function indicators were collected at admission, shock index (SI), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and MSI were calculated.According to their 1-month prognosis, the patients were divided into survival group and death group.Pearson correlation model was used to analyze the correlation between MSI and cardiac function in septic shock patients, and logistic multivariate regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of septic shock.
ResultsIn survival group, the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were higher, while heart rate and APACHE-Ⅱ score were lower than those in death group (P < 0.01).MAP, cardiac index (CI) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were higher than those in death group (P < 0.01), while N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV), SI and MSI were lower than those in death group (P < 0.01).MSI was positively correlated with NT-proBNP and LVEDV levels in septic shock patients (r=0.601, 0.598, P < 0.01), and was negatively correlated with CI and LVEF (r=-0.683, -0.659, P < 0.01).The increased APACHE-Ⅱ, SI, MSI and LVEF were all risk factors for mortality of the septic shock patients (OR=1.668, 55.070, 9.077×105, 1.259, P < 0.05 to P < 0.01), while the increases of MAP, CI and LVEDV were the protective factors for mortality of the septic shock patients (OR=0.861, 0.191, 0.941, P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).
ConclusionsFor patients with septic shock, the higher the MSI, the worse the cardiac function.At the same time, MSI is an independent risk factor for mortality of septic shock patients, and MSI can be used as a predictor of cardiac dysfunction and prognosis at admission.
