Abstract
To investigate the effect of intensive care unit (ICU) admission model on acute kidney injury (AKI) development and the prognosis in patients with sepsis. Patients with sepsis admitted to the ICU of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People's Hospital from January 2019 to July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the ICU admission model, the patients were divided into emergency group (first admission or emergency transfer from relevant surgical departments) and delayed group (transferred from the general ward due to disease evolution). Patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to whether AKI was accompanied. The gender, age, underlying diseases, surgical history, heart rate, laboratory test indicators, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), organ failure and acute complications were collected. The incidence of AKI, 28-day mortality and length of ICU stay were recorded. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of AKI in patients with sepsis. A total of 185 patients with sepsis were enrolled, including 96 cases in the emergency group and 89 cases in the delayed group. 119 cases of AKI occurred while 66 cases without AKI development. The incidence of AKI within 7 days and the 28-day mortality of patients in the delayed group were significantly higher than those in the emergency group [AKI incidence rate: 77.53% (69/89) vs. 52.08% (50/96), 28-day mortality: 24.72% (22/89) vs. 10.42% (10/96), both P < 0.05], and the length of ICU stay was significantly longer than that of the emergency group (days: 18.70±7.29 vs. 14.56±4.75, P < 0.05). Univariate Logistic analysis showed that there were significant differences in age, diabetes, hypertension, organ failure, heart failure, APACHE II score, SOFA score, white blood cell count (WBC), absolute neutrophil value, platelet count (PLT), blood lactate, total bilirubin, and ICU transferred from general wards between AKI group and non-AKI group. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that transfer from general ward to ICU due to disease evolution was an independent risk factor for AKI in ICU sepsis patients [odds ratio (OR) = 5.165, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 3.911-6.823, P < 0.001]. Septic patients transferred from general ward to ICU due to disease evolution are more likely to develop AKI, and also had a higher mortality and longer ICU stay. It may be an independent risk factor for AKI complicated by patients with sepsis in ICU.
