Objective:Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the risk factors for intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) in critically ill patients.Methods:A total of 220 critically ill patients who were admitted to Intensive Care Unit, The First Hospital of Jiaxing from January 2020 to January 2022 were included in this study. The incidence of ICU-AW was recorded. Univariate analysis was conducted to investigate the factors related to ICU-AW, while multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for ICU-AW in critically ill patients.Results:Among the 220 critically ill patients, 64 developed ICU-AW, resulting in an incidence of 29.1% (64/220). There were no significant differences in sex, age, history of alcoholism, history of smoking, marital status, hypertension, diabetes, or use of glucocorticoid (methylprednisolone sodium succinate for injection) between the ICU-AW group and the non-ICU-AW group (all P > 0.05). The proportion of patients with sepsis in the ICU-AW group was higher than that in the non-ICU-AW group [46.9% (30/64) vs. 15.4% (24/156)]. The proportion of patients who were immobilized in the ICU-AW group was higher than that in the non-ICU-AW group [89.1% (37/64) vs. 64.1% (100/156)]. The use of nerve blocker (vecuronium bromide for injection) was more prevalent in the ICU-AW group than that in the non-ICU-AW group [57.8% (37/64) vs. 23.1% (36/156)]. The Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ score in the ICU-AW group was higher than that in the non-ICU-AW group [16 (11, 23) vs. 12 (8, 17)]. The duration of mechanical ventilation in the ICU-AW group was longer than that in the non-ICU-AW group [8 (4, 13) days vs. 4 (3, 6) days]. The length of hospital stay in the ICU-AW group was longer than that in the non-ICU-AW group [10 (7, 17) days vs. 7 (5, 11) days]. The blood lactate level in the ICU-AW group was higher than that in the non-ICU-AW group [2 (1, 2) mmol/L vs. 1 (1, 2) mmol/L]. All differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 24.30, 13.83, 24.70, Z = 3.83, 4.59, 3.97, 2.70, all P < 0.05). The results of the univariate analysis, when included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis, showed that sepsis, immobilization, duration of mechanical ventilation, blood lactate level, and Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ score were independent risk factors for ICU-AW (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of ICU-AW is high and the risk factors for ICU-AW are complex. Therefore, targeted control of high-risk factors should be actively performed to prevent and treat ICU-AW.
