Abstract:
Objective To explore the change of serum chloride ion(Cl-)level and its relationship with prognosis in patients with acute heart failure(AHF).Methods A total of 289 patients with AHF admitted to the hospital from September 2020 to March 2023 were included in the study.Clinical and laboratory data of patients were collected,serum Cl-levels were detected at admission and discharge,and the difference of Cl-levels was calculated(△Cl-).Patients with AHF were divided into poor prognosis group and good prognosis group according to the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events during follow-up.Clinical and laboratory data of the two groups were compared.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between se-rum △Cl-level and poor prognosis of AHF by using restricted cubic spline(RCS)curve drawn by the func-tions in the rms package.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to analyze the value of△Cl-levels in predicting the risk of adverse cardiovascular events within 1 year of discharge from hospital in patients with AHF.Results The age and the proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation in the poor progno-sis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The levels of left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and Cl-at discharge in the poor prognosis group were lower than those in the good prognosis group,and the levels of brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)and △Cl-in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group,with statistical sig-nificance(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that LVEF was an independent protective factor for poor prognosis of AHF,and age,BNP and △Cl-levels were independent risk factors for poor prognosis of AHF(P＜0.05).RCS curve analysis showed a significant linear association between △Cl-levels and the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with AHF within 1 year of discharge.ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of △Cl-level in predicting the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in AHF pa-tients within 1 year after discharge was 0.857,the sensitivity was 88.37％,and the specificity was 69.46％.Conclusion The change of serum Cl-level of patients with AHF is related to the prognosis of patients with AHF,and monitoring the serum Cl-level of patients with AHF can guide the early clinical intervention.
