Abstract:
Objective To construct a predictive model for the prognosis of patients with septic cardiomyopathy based on echocardiographic parameters combined with serum milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8).
Methods The clinical data of 109 patients with septic cardiomyopathy were retrospectively analyzed. According to the 28-day survival status of the patients, they were divided into the death group (n = 52) and survival group (n = 57). Echocardiography was performed on two groups on admission. The clinical data, echocardiographic parameters and serum MFG-E8 levels between two groups were compared to analyze the influencing factors of death in patients with septic cardiomyopathy, and a nomogram prediction model for death in patients with septic cardiomyopathy was constructed and verified.
Results The scores of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Status II, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, blood lactic acid, creatine kinase isoenzyme, sequential organ failure score and proportion of vasoactive drug use in the death group were all higher than those in survival group (P < 0.05). The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), right ventricular systolic tricuspid annulus velocity (RV-Sm), early diastolic mitral annulus velocit (e′) and serum MFG-E8 level in the death group were all lower than those in survival group (P < 0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the LVEF, RV-Sm, e′ and serum MFG-E8 were the protective factors of death in patients with septic cardiomyopathy (P < 0.05). The sensitivity of the nomogram model in predicting death in patients with septic cardiomyopathy was 90.38%, the specificity was 94.74%, and the AUC was 0.911.
Conclusions LVEF, RV-Sm, e′ and serum MFG-E8 are closely related to the risk of death in patients with septic cardiomyopathy. The nomogram prediction model constructed based on LVEF, RV-Sm, e′ and serum MFG-E8 is helpful for early identification of the risk of death in patients with septic cardiomyopathy.
