Objective:To investigate the predictive value of pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) for in-hospital mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) admitted to intensive care unit (ICU).Methods:The clinical data of the first-ever AIS patients admitted to the ICU in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) -Ⅳ of the United States were retrospectively included and analyzed. According to whether the patients died in the hospital, they were divided into a survival group and a death group, and the differences in baseline data between the two groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze independent influencing factors of in-hospital mortality in patients. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of PIV on in-hospital mortality. Results:A total of 1 068 first-ever AIS patients admitted to the ICU were included, with a median age of 69 years. There were 543 males (50.84%), and 182 (17.05%) experienced in-hospital mortality. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for potential confounding factors, a higher PIV (>1 555.71) was an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality in patients (odds ratio 1.924, 95% confidence interval 1.093-3.387; P=0.023). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve for predicting in-hospital mortality by PIV was 0.605 (95% confidence interval 0.556-0.654), with an optimal cutoff value of 1 199.93. The sensitivity and specificity for predicting in-hospital mortality were 48.9% and 70.2%, respectively. Conclusions:A higher PIV is an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality in AIS patients admitted to ICU, which may help identify AIS patients with a higher risk of in-hospital mortality in the ICU.

Objective:To investigate the effect of different timing of arterial -venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) on the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock (AMICS).Methods:This study was a prospective cohort study. AMICS patients received VA-ECMO support primary percutaneous coronary intervention in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from May 2017 to July 2023 were divided into early VA-ECMO group and late VA-ECMO group. 64 AMICS patients who met the indications for VA-ECMO implantation, but did not revive VA-ECMO were included as control group. Demographic characteristics, coronary interventional (PCI) information and complications after VA-ECMO implantation were collected. The primary end points was 1-year survival, minor end point were in-hospital and perioperative death. Multivariate Logistic and Cox regression models were used to evaluate the effect of timing of VA-ECMO on prognosis of AMICS patients. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the 1-year survival outcome of the 3 groups.Results:A total of 143 AMICS patients were included, and materials of 136 patients entered in the final analysis, including 42 in the early VA-ECMO group, 34 in the late VA-ECMO group, and 60 in the non-VA-ECMO group. Compared with the late VA-ECMO group, the early VA-ECMO group had a higher ratio of PPCI after VA-ECMO, a longer D-to-B time, a shorter VA-ECMO support time, a higher success rate of VA-ECMO withdrawal, and a lower complication rate (all P<0.05). Compared with the early VA-ECMO group, the perioperative, in-hospital and 1-year mortality were significantly higher in Non-ECMO support (all P<0.05). There was no difference in perioperative and in-hospital mortality between the early VA-ECMO group and the late VA-ECMO group, but the 1-year mortality in the late VA-ECMO group was significantly higher ( P<0.05). Perioperative, in-hospital and 1-year mortality rates were lower in the late VA-ECMO group than in the no-VA-ECMO group, but the differences were not statistically significant. Multivariate Logistic and Cox regression analysis showed that after adjusting interference factors, early VA-ECMO was still a protective factor for in-hospital ( OR=0.244, P=0.015) and one year ( HR=0.308, P=0.001)mortality. Kaplan-Merier survival curve showed that compared with the late VA-ECMO group and the group without VA-ECMO, the early VA-ECMO group had the highest 1-year survival rate. Conclusion:Patients with AMICS may benefit more from early VA-ECMO than from late VA-ECMO support for PPCI.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of procalcitonin to platelet ratio (PPR) and C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and the value of SAP and concomitant acute liver injury (ALI).Methods:Total of 195 patients with AP from June 2021 to December 2022 from 374 patients were screened for inclusion in the study and were divided into non-severe acute pancreatitis (NSAP) and SAP groups. The ALI group was divided into non-acute liver injury (NALI) and ALI groups according to ALI criteria, and then into hepatocellular ALI subgroup, cholangiocellular ALI subgroup and mixed ALI subgroup. Laboratory tests for procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin and platelet (PLT) were completed within 48 h. Risk factors for SAP, ALI and each subgroup of ALI were analysed by binary logistic regression. Subject work characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted and the optimal thresholds for PPR and CAR were calculated. The predictive value of PPR, CAR and their combination for SAP, ALI and each type of ALI was determined.Results:The AUCs for predicting SAP by plotting ROC curves and calculating the bedside index score of acute pancreatitis severity (BISAP score), PPR, CAR, PPR combined with CAR, PPR combined with BISAP score, CAR combined with BISAP score and combined PPR, CAR and BISAP score were 0.82, 0.85, 0.79 and 0.86. The areas under the ROC curves for PPR, CAR and combined prediction of ALI were 0.81, 0.85 and 0.88, respectively; the areas under the ROC curves for PPR, CAR and combined prediction of hepatocellular ALI were 0.93, 0.77 and 0.92, respectively; and the areas under the ROC curves for PPR, CAR and combined prediction of cholangiocellular ALI were 0.76, 0.76 and 0.77, respectively. The area under the ROC curves for PPR, CAR and combined prediction of mixed ALI were 0.83, 0.76 and 0.82Conclusions:Elevated PPR and CAR are risk factors for SAP and for the development of ALI in AP. PPR has better predictive value than CAR for hepatocellular and mixed ALI, and CAR has better predictive value than PPR for cholangiocellular ALI.

Objective:To establish and validate the prediction model for bone marrow metastasis (BMM) in malignant tumors by screening out laboratory multiparameters.Methods:This case-control study collected 444 cases of malignant tumor patients who were hospitalized in the First Hospital of Jilin University from March 2018 to March 2024, including 243 cases for model establishment set and 201 cases for model validation set. The model establishment set was divided into BMM positive group (81 cases) and BMM negative group (162 cases), and the model validation set was divided into positive group (67 cases) and a negative group (134 cases). We collected patients′ clinical information such as gender, age, clinical diagnosis, and results of 47 laboratory tests including routine blood analysis, coagulation, liver function, tumor markers, potassium, sodium, chloride, and calcium ion tests, bone marrow morphology, and bone marrow biopsy. BMM was taken as the outcome event, differencial variables were analyzed using inter group comparisons, the correlation among parameters was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis, the risk factors for BMM were analyzed using multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis, to establish logistic model, followed by efficiency evaluation on BMM predictive model using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.Results:In the model establishment set, Pearson correlation analysis of 28 parameters that differed between the BMM positive and negative groups revealed that the correlation coefficients of 17 parameters, including mean platelet volume (MPV), hematocrit (HCT), hemoglobin (HGB), and prothrombin time (PT), were no more than 0.6 ( P<0.05). Further multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis demonstrated that MPV, HGB, HCT, PT, red cell distribution width (RDW), platelet count (PLT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), chloride (Cl -), and mean erythrocyte hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were the risk factors of BMM occurence in malignancy [MPV ( OR=9.929, 95% CI 2.688-71.335), HCT ( OR=8.232, 95% CI 6.223-9.841), HGB ( OR=4.300, 95% CI 1.947-16.577), PT ( OR=3.738, 95% CI 1.359-11.666), RDW ( OR=1.995, 95% CI 1.275-3.807), ALP ( OR=1.025, 95% CI 1.012-1.045), PLT ( OR=1.014, 95% CI 1.002-1.031), MCHC ( OR=0.724, 95% CI 0.523-0.880) and Cl -( OR=0.703, 95% CI 0.472-0.967)]. In the model establishment set, combiation of risk factors provided an AUC of 0.943 (95% CI 0.898-0.987, P<0.001), a sensitivity of 86.3%, and a specificity of 89.2% for BMM prediction. In the model validation set, the AUC was 0.924 (95% CI 0.854-0.960, P<0.001), with a sensitivity and specificity of 86.7% and 83.8%, respectively. Conclusion:This study built and validated a multiple-parameter model for BMM, which may facilitate the timely detection of BMM and provide reference for decision making of bone marrow aspiration.

Objective:To study the respiratory morbidity and the risk factors of respiratory complications in late-preterm infants.Methods:The data of 959 late-preterm infants in 21 hospitals in Beijing from October 2015 to April 2016 were collected.These infants were divided into the respiratory morbidity group (237 cases) and the control group (722 cases) according to whether they had short-term respiratory morbidity after birth.Clinical data of the two groups were compared.Results:Among the 959 late-preterm babies, 530 were male and 429 were female.Two hundred and thirty-seven cases (24.7%) developed short-term respiratory morbidity after birth.Infectious pneumonia developed in the most cases (81 cases, 8.4%), followed by transient tachypnea (65 cases, 6.8%), amniotic fluid aspiration (51 cases, 5.3%), and respiratory distress syndrome (24 cases, 2.5%) successively.All the infants recovered and discharged.There were no differences between gender and maternal age between 2 groups (all P>0.05). Compared with the control group, more late-preterm infants were delivered by cesarean section (73.4% vs.59.7%, χ2=14.43, P<0.001) and the 1-minute Apgar score was lower [(9.41±1.66) scores vs.(9.83±0.53) scores, t=5.40, P<0.001] in the respiratory morbidity group.The differences were statistically significant.There were more cases with maternal complications in the respiratory morbidity group that in the control group (66.7% vs.58.6%, χ2=4.877, P=0.027), but no difference in various complications between 2 groups was observed ( P>0.05). In the respiratory morbidity group, the most frequent complications were maternal hypertension and preeclampsia (27.8% vs.22.6%, χ2=2.728, P=0.099). There were no differences between 2 groups in gestational age, birth weight and birth length (all P>0.05). There were more infants small for gestational age and large for gestational age in the respiratory morbidity group than in the control group (18.8% vs.14.1%, 6.3% vs.2.4%, χ2=8.960, P=0.011). The duration of hospitalization of the respiratory morbidity group was significantly longer than that of the control group [(9.00±4.42) d vs.(6.82±4.19) d, t=6.676, P<0.001] since the infants with respiratory morbidity needed to be hospita-lized. Conclusions:Respiratory diseases occur in about 1/4 of late-preterm infants.Infants who are delivered by cesarean section and whose mothers are complicated with the maternal hypertension and preeclampsia should be monitored closely.Respiratory support should be provided for infants not appropriate for gestational age who are more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases, so that they can successfully pass through the transition period.
