Abstract:
Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors of the severe delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (s-DEACMP).Methods:A retrospective analysis of 170 acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACMP) patients treated in the Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) Department of Beijing Chao-yang Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 1st, 2017 to December 31st, 2020 was conducted. According to the occurrence of delayed encephalopathy, the ACMP patients were divided into DEACMP group and non-DEACMP (n-DEACMP) group. The DEACMP patients were stratified by the activities of daily living scale when they were most severely ill. The patients with total score≤60 were classified as s-DEACMP and the patients with total score >60 were classified as mild to moderate DEACMP (m-DEACMP). Their clinical characteristics were compared and the risk factors of s-DEACMP were analyzed.Results:There were 70 s-DEACMP patients, 49 m-DEACMP patients, and 51 n-DEACMP patients. Compared with the n-DEACMP group, the s-DEACMP group was older (average age: 59.0 vs. 49.0, P=0.005), had a higher proportion of patients over 40 years old (97.1% vs. 66.7%, P<0.001), lower Glasgow coma scale scores [(4.0±3.0) vs.(6.0±5.0), P=0.024] on admission to the hospital, longer consciousness disturbance [(32.0±31.8) h vs.(20.5±26.4) h, P=0.017], a higher proportion of patients with consciousness disturbance over 48 hours (24.3% vs. 9.8%, P=0.041), a lower proportion of patients receiving HBO therapy (70.0% vs. 86.3%, P=0.036), a higher proportion of patients with hypertension (38.6% vs. 17.6%, P=0.013), a higher proportion of patients with hyperhomocysteinemia (40.0% vs. 19.6%, P=0.017), and a higher proportion of patients with smoking index over 400 (24.3% vs. 9.8%, P=0.041). Compared with the m-DEACMP group, the s-DEACMP group had a higher proportion of patients with hyperhomocysteinemia (40.0% vs. 20.4%, P=0.024). Multivariate Logistic regression showed that age over 40 years old, consciousness disturbance over 48 hours, hypertension, and hyperhomocysteinemia were independent risk factors of s-DEACMP( P<0.05). Conclusion:The clinical characteristics of s-DEACMP patients are that the patients are older, have a deeper and longer consciousness disturbance, a lower proportion of early HBO intervention, a higher proportion of hypertension, hyperhomocysteinemia, and smoking index over 400. Among them, the age over 40 years old, disturbance consciousness over 48 hours, and hypertension were the independent risk factors of the occurrence of s-DEACMP.In additon hyperhomocysteinemia was also an idependent risk factor for s-DEAMP, which special worth attention.
