RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the existence of the obesity paradox in patients with COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit. METHODS: This was a multicentric retrospective cohort study including individuals aged 18 years or older admitted to the intensive care unit with SARS-CoV-2. Data were obtained from electronic medical records. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Multiple logistic regression and restricted cubic splines analyses were conducted to assess the association between BMI and mortality. RESULTS: From March 2020 to December 2021, 977 patients met the inclusion criteria, and 868 were included in the analysis. Obesity was identified in 382 patients (44%). Patients with obesity more often underwent prone positioning (42% vs. 28%; p < 0.001), although they used less vasoactive medications (57% vs. 68%; p < 0.001). The overall in-hospital mortality was 48%, with 44% observed in the subgroup of individuals with obesity and 50% in those without obesity (p = 0.06). Patients with BMI < 25 kg/m2 had the highest mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Obesity was not associated with higher mortality rates in critically ill patients with COVID-19. Moreover, patients with BMI < 25 kg/m2 had a higher mortality rate compared with those in higher BMI categories.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) and hemodynamic and perfusion parameters in the first week of intensive care unit (ICU) admission and evaluate the association of AGI with ICU and hospital outcomes in patients with septic shock undergoing mechanical ventilation. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study applied the criteria proposed by the European Society of Intensive Medicine to classify the participants into risk/dysfunction group (AGI grade I and II) and failure group (AGI grade III and IV). Hemodynamic and perfusion parameters data previously collected in the first 48 h after ICU admission (admission, 12, 24, 48 h) were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 163 were included and classified into AGI grades I (n = 79), II (n = 64), III (n = 20), and IV (none). Groups consisted of AGI risk/dysfunction (n = 143, 87.8%) and AGI failure (n = 20, 12.2%) patients. Patients with AGI failure had higher heart rate and mottling score (MS) at admission, lower mean arterial pressure, and an oliguria incidence at 12 h compared with those without AGI failure. Skin MS and abdominal primary site of infection were risk factors for AGI failure. AGI failure tended to be a risk factor for ICU mortality (risk ratio [95% CI]: 1.37 [0.99-1.89]; P = 0.053). CONCLUSION: AGI was frequently observed in patients with septic shock in the first week of ICU admission. Higher heart rate and MS and lower mean arterial pressure and incidence of oliguria were identified in patients with AGI failure compared with those without. AGI failure was associated with ICU mortality.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of critically ill patients with COVID-19 in an intensive care unit seen by a care team formed by intensive and nonintensive physicians and treatment guided by processes and protocols linked to the "choosing wisely" concept, comparing them with similar data recently published. METHODS: An observational cohort including adult patients with COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit of Hospital Independence between August 2020 and August 2021. Inclusion criteria were 18 years of age or older and there were no exclusion criteria. RESULTS: The study included 449 patients, of which 64.1% were referred from the ward, 21.6% from emergency rooms, and 14.2% from another hospital (continuity of attendance). The overall mortality was 48.5%, occurring mainly in the elderly and or those undergoing mechanical ventilation. We did not find any associations between different strata of body mass index and mortality. In the multivariate analysis, the time elapsed between the onset of symptoms and hospital admission, mechanical ventilation, C-reactive protein value at the end of the first week in the intensive care unit, and renal failure were independently associated with mortality. Vaccinated people comprised 8.8% of the sample, with no differences in mortality among the different vaccines, and 13.4% of patients underwent palliative treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Patients admitted for acute respiratory syndrome due to SARS-CoV-2 are severe and have a high mortality rate, mainly if submitted to invasive mechanical ventilation. The emergence of acute renal failure marks an especially severe subgroup with increased mortality. Processes and protocols linked to the "choosing-wisely" concept seemed to significantly benefit our intensive care unit since it had a large contingent of nonspecialist physicians.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, and old age, which are associated with a high risk of malnutrition and worse outcomes, are at a higher risk for developing the severe presentation of COVID-19. METHODS: This is an observational and cross-sectional study with a sample defined by convenience. Data were collected in adult inpatient units through information obtained via telephone contact with the patient/companion, records collected by the nursing staff, and medical records, tabulating demographics, body composition, previous illnesses, nutritional diagnoses, diet acceptance, and hospitalization outcomes. The following symptoms were observed: inappetence, smell, dysgeusia, odynophagia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. RESULTS: Most deaths occurred after transfer to the intensive care unit (79.6%). Patients with the worst outcome had lower food intake with a cutoff point of 60% for diet acceptance, which seems to be an adequate discriminator between those who survived and those who did not. Gastrointestinal symptoms were significantly associated with food consumption below 60% of the planned goal. The symptoms most associated with lower energy intake were inappetence, dysgeusia, and nausea/vomiting. CONCLUSIONS: Reduced caloric intake and the presence of nutritional risk or its appearance during hospitalization seemed to be associated with mortality in patients with COVID-19 admitted outside the intensive care unit.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is no specific recommendation for nutrition therapy for critically ill older adults. However, targeting energy and protein balance and avoiding fasting could improve outcomes in this population with high-risk nutrition outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between nutrition and mortality/functionality in critically ill older patients. METHODS: A single-center retrospective observational study of critically ill patients aged 65 years or older was conducted. We extracted data from the dietitian evaluations on energy, protein, and the type of diet (fasting, oral, enteral, or parenteral) prescribed in the first week of intensive care unit admission. Primary outcomes were intrahospital mortality and independence and functional capacity evaluated after hospital discharge. RESULTS: Of the 2043 patients screened, 533 were included in the study. Most patients were men (52.1%), with a median age of 73 (68-78) years. Overall, the intrahospital mortality rate was 53.8%. Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 (SAPS 3), serum albumin and C-reactive protein levels, and surgical patients were independently associated with fasting in a multivariate analysis. The multivariate regression analyses showed that SAPS 3, serum albumin level, and fasting were independently associated with mortality. Each fasting day increases the risk of mortality by 16.7%. Also, independence and functional capacity were not related to nutrition prescription. CONCLUSION: Older adults (65 years or older) constitute a fragile population in whom nutrition breaks were associated with increased hospital mortality. Furthermore, a prospective clinical trial is necessary to establish the best strategy to feed this population.

RESUMO

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 (SAPS 3) como substituto do Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) como marcador de gravidade na versão modificada do escore NUTrition RIsk in the Critically ill (mNUTRIC; sem interleucina 6), com base em uma análise de sua capacidade discriminativa para predição de mortalidade hospitalar. Métodos: Este estudo de coorte retrospectiva avaliou 1.516 pacientes adultos internados em uma unidade de terapia intensiva de um hospital geral privado entre abril de 2017 e janeiro de 2018. A avaliação de desempenho incluiu as análises Kappa de Fleiss e correlação de Pearson. A capacidade discriminativa para estimar a mortalidade hospitalar foi avaliada com a curva Característica de Operação do Receptor. Resultados: A amostra foi dividida aleatoriamente em dois terços para o desenvolvimento do modelo (n = 1.025; idade 72 [57 - 83]; 52,4% masculino) e um terço para avaliação do desempenho (n = 490; idade 72 [57 - 83]; 50,8 % masculino). A concordância com o mNUTRIC foi Kappa de 0,563 (p < 0,001), e a correlação entre os instrumentos foi correlação de Pearson de 0,804 (p < 0,001). A ferramenta mostrou bom desempenho para prever a mortalidade hospitalar (área sob a curva de 0,825 [0,787 - 0,863] p < 0,001). Conclusão: A substituição do APACHE II pelo SAPS 3 como marcador de gravidade no escore mNUTRIC mostrou bom desempenho para predizer a mortalidade hospitalar. Esses dados fornecem a primeira evidência sobre a validade da substituição do APACHE II pelo SAPS 3 no mNUTRIC como marcador de gravidade. São necessários estudos multicêntricos e análises adicionais dos parâmetros de adequação nutricional.


ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the substitution of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) by Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 (SAPS 3) as a severity marker in the modified version of the NUTrition RIsk in the Critically ill score (mNUTRIC); without interleukin 6) based on an analysis of its discriminative ability for in-hospital mortality prediction. Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated 1,516 adult patients admitted to an intensive care unit of a private general hospital from April 2017 to January 2018. Performance evaluation included Fleiss' Kappa and Pearson correlation analysis. The discriminative ability for estimating in-hospital mortality was assessed with the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve. Results: The sample was randomly divided into two-thirds for model development (n = 1,025; age 72 [57 - 83]; 52.4% male) and one-third for performance evaluation (n = 490; age 72 [57 - 83]; 50.8% male). The agreement with mNUTRIC was Kappa of 0.563 (p < 0.001), and the correlation between the instruments was Pearson correlation of 0.804 (p < 0.001). The tool showed good performance in predicting in-hospital mortality (area under the curve 0.825 [0.787 - 0.863] p < 0.001). Conclusion: The substitution of APACHE II by SAPS 3 as a severity marker in the mNUTRIC score showed good performance in predicting in-hospital mortality. These data provide the first evidence regarding the validity of the substitution of APACHE II by SAPS 3 in the mNUTRIC as a marker of severity. Multicentric studies and additional analyses of nutritional adequacy parameters are required.

RESUMO

There is a new global pandemic that emerged in China in 2019 that is threatening different populations with severe acute respiratory failure. The disease has enormous potential for transmissibility and requires drastic governmental measures, guided by social distancing and the use of protective devices (gloves, masks, and facial shields). Once the need for admission to the ICU is characterized, a set of essentially supportive therapies are adopted in order to offer multi-organic support and allow time for healing. Typically, patients who require ventilatory support have bilateral infiltrates in the chest X-ray and chest computed tomography showing ground-glass pulmonary opacities and subsegmental consolidations. Invasive ventilatory support should not be postponed in a scenario of intense ventilatory distress. The treatment is, in essence, supportive.

RESUMO Há uma nova pandemia global que surgiu na China em 2019 e está ameaçando diferentes populações com insuficiência respiratória aguda grave. A doença tem um enorme potencial de transmissibilidade e requer medidas governamentais drásticas, orientadas para o distanciamento social e pelo uso de dispositivos de proteção (luvas, máscaras e escudos faciais). Uma vez caracterizada a necessidade de admissão na UTI, um conjunto de terapias essencialmente de suporte é adotado para oferecer suporte multiorgânico e permitir tempo para a cura. Normalmente, os pacientes que necessitam de suporte ventilatório apresentam infiltrados bilaterais na radiografia de tórax e na tomografia computadorizada de tórax, mostrando opacidades pulmonares em vidro fosco e consolidações subsegmentares. O suporte ventilatório invasivo não deve ser adiado em um cenário de intenso sofrimento ventilatório. O tratamento é essencialmente de suporte orgânico.

RESUMO

This article presents 7 nutrition steps that, if not followed by the clinical staff, may be metaphorically considered as "7 deadly sins" of nutrition therapy. In this review, we suggest approaches that must be avoided or accomplished to increase compliance with the "Ten Commandments" of good nutrition practice in the intensive care setting. Multiple aggressive and simultaneous sets of therapies are implemented in the intensive care setting, which include nutrition and metabolic support as important components in these therapies. "Sins" should be remembered as a mnemonic device for nutrition standard care in the intensive care unit; this incorporates nutrition adequacy and protocol adherence.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) is a widely recommended nutrition risk indicator. Two cut-offs have been proposed for intensive care unit (ICU) patients to classify nutrition risk: ≥3-<5, at risk and ≥5, high risk. To date, no study has directly compared these cut-offs. The aim of this study is to compare the NRS-2002 ICU nutrition risk cut-offs as predictors of clinical outcomes including infections, ICU and hospital mortality, length of stay (LOS), duration of mechanical ventilation (MVd), weaning failure, tracheotomy for prolonged MVd, and chronic critical illness (CCI). METHODS: Adult patients were screened and stratified according to NRS-2002 ICU criteria. Clinical, epidemiologic, and nutrition data were extracted from medical records. Statistical analysis for independent samples and Poisson regression were performed. RESULTS: A total of 185 patients were screened: 1 (0.54%) no risk; 96 (51.89%) at risk, and 88 (47.56%) high risk. High-risk patients were older, had higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 (62.0 ± 14.1 vs 53.0 ± 12.9, respectively; P < .001) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (6.9 ± 3.7 vs 5.1 ± 3.1, respectively; P < .001), and developed more infections (42 [47.8%] vs 27 [28.1%]; P = .010). No differences were found for ICU and hospital LOS, MVd days, weaning failure, tracheotomy, and CCI. ICU and hospital mortality were higher in high-risk patients. The high-risk cut-off was predictor of ICU mortality (relative risk 2.10, 95% confidence interval 1.07-4.14; P = .032). CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that the NRS-2002 high-risk cut-off is associated with worse clinical outcomes and is a predictor for ICU mortality.

RESUMO

To meet the nutritional requirements of patients admitted to intensive care units, it is necessary to establish a diet schedule. Complications associated with enteral nutrition by tube feeding are not uncommon and may reduce the delivery of required nutrient to patients in intensive care units. Research on the osmolality, fat content, caloric intensity and fiber content of formulas are under way, and a substantial number of studies have focused on fiber content tolerability or symptom reduction. We conducted a systematic review of dietary fiber use and safety in critically ill patients in 8 studies based on diarrhea, other gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal distension, gastric residual volume, vomiting and constipation), intestinal microbiota, length of stay in the intensive care unit and death. We discussed the results reported in the scientific literature and current recommendations. This contemporary approach demonstrated that the use of soluble fiber in all hemodynamically stable, critically ill patients is safe and should be considered beneficial for reducing the incidence of diarrhea in this population.


Para atender as necessidades nutricionais de pacientes admitidos às unidades de terapia intensiva, é necessário estabelecer um plano dietético. As complicações associadas com a nutrição enteral administrada por tubo não são incomuns e podem reduzir o fornecimento das necessidades nutricionais a pacientes internados na unidade de terapia intensiva. Encontram-se em andamento pesquisas relativas a osmolaridade, gorduras, intensidade calórica e conteúdo de fibras das fórmulas, e muitos estudos têm focado na tolerabilidade ao conteúdo de fibras ou na redução de sintomas. Conduzimos uma revisão sistemática do uso e segurança das fibras dietéticas em pacientes críticos, que envolveu oito estudos e teve como base diarreia, outros sintomas gastrintestinais (distensão abdominal, volume gástrico residual, vômitos e constipação), microbiota intestinal, tempo de permanência na unidade de terapia intensiva, e óbito. Discutimos os resultados encontrados na literatura científica, assim como as recomendações atuais. Esta abordagem contemporânea demonstrou que o uso de fibras solúveis em todos os pacientes graves hemodinamicamente estáveis é seguro e deve ser considerado benéfico para redução da incidência de diarreia nesta população.

ABSTRACT To meet the nutritional requirements of patients admitted to intensive care units, it is necessary to establish a diet schedule. Complications associated with enteral nutrition by tube feeding are not uncommon and may reduce the delivery of required nutrient to patients in intensive care units. Research on the osmolality, fat content, caloric intensity and fiber content of formulas are under way, and a substantial number of studies have focused on fiber content tolerability or symptom reduction. We conducted a systematic review of dietary fiber use and safety in critically ill patients in 8 studies based on diarrhea, other gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal distension, gastric residual volume, vomiting and constipation), intestinal microbiota, length of stay in the intensive care unit and death. We discussed the results reported in the scientific literature and current recommendations. This contemporary approach demonstrated that the use of soluble fiber in all hemodynamically stable, critically ill patients is safe and should be considered beneficial for reducing the incidence of diarrhea in this population.

RESUMO

Biochemical markers produced by the affected organ or body in response to disease have gained high clinical value due to assess disease development and being excellent predictors of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to analyze different biochemical markers in critically cancer patients and to determine which of them can be used as predictors of mortality. This is a prospective, cross-sectional study conducted at a University Hospital in Porto Alegre - RS. Screening was done to include patients in the study. Serum biochemical markers obtained in the first 24 hours of Intensive Care Unit hospitalization were analyzed. A second review of medical records occurred after three months objected to identify death or Unit discharged. A sample of 130 individuals was obtained (control group n = 65, study group n = 65). In the multivariate model, serum magnesium values ​​OR = 3.97 (1.17; 13.5), presence of neoplasia OR = 2.68 (95% CI 1.13; 6.37) and absence of sepsis OR = 0.31 (95% CI 0.12; 0.79) were robust predictors of mortality. The association of solid tumors, sepsis presence and alteration in serum magnesium levels resulted in an increased chance of mortality in critically ill patients.
