Prognostic value of oxygen saturation index trajectory phenotypes on intensive care unit (ICU) mortality in mechanically ventilated patients: a multi-database retrospective cohort study

J Intensive CarePublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Dynamic OSI-trajectory phenotypes were closely related to the mortality of ICU patients requiring IMV treatment and might be a useful prognostic indicator in critically ill patients.

Study context

Population
Critically ill patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV)
Participants
3,378 patients
Exposure
Oxygen saturation index (OSI)-trajectory phenotypes: high-level stable, ascending, descending vs low-level stable
Outcome
ICU mortality
Methodological detailsmulti-database, group-based trajectory model, doubly robust analysis
  • Multi-database
  • Group-based trajectory model
  • Doubly robust analysis

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Odds ratio (95% CI)
High-level stable vs Low-level stable
1.422(1.246–1.623)
Ascending vs Low-level stable
1.097(1.027–1.172)
Descending vs Low-level stablesimilar ICU mortality to low-level stable
0.986(0.940–1.035)

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Mortality and ventilation-free days (VFDs) by phenotype

High-level stable phenotype had the highest mortality and fewest VFDs

Predictive model for ascending or high-level stable phenotypes (early identification)

AUC, training dataset
0.851 [0.827-0.875]
AUC, validation dataset
0.743 [0.709-0.777]
