Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the value of 6-hour lactate clearance combined with N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and albumin (ALB) in the prognostic evaluation of elderly patients with severe pneumonia.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed on 110 elderly patients with severe pneumonia admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Beijing Electric Power Hospital from September 2018 to September 2020. According to the 28-day prognosis, the patients were divided into either a survival group (62 cases) or a death group (48 cases). Blood lactic acid levels of the subjects were collected, and the 6-hour lactic acid clearance rate was calculated. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the level of serum NT-proBNP in subjects, and bromocresol green method was used to detect the level of serum ALB in subjects. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of death in elderly patients with severe pneumonia. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the predictive value of 6-hour lactate clearance rate, serum NT-proBNP, and ALB for the death of elderly patients with severe pneumonia.

Results

Compared with the survival group, the 6-hour lactic acid clearance rate and serum ALB level significantly decreased in the death group (P<0.05), and the serum NT-proBNP level significantly increased (P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the 6-hour lactate clearance rate (OR=2.035, 95%CI: 1.511~2.741), low serum ALB level (OR=2.132, 95%CI: 1.662~2.735), and high serum NT-proBNP level (OR=2.671, 95%CI: 2.182~3.493) were risk factors for death in elderly patients with severe pneumonia (P<0.05 each). ROC analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 6-hour lactate clearance for predicting death was 0.789 (95%CI: 0.703~0.874), and the AUCs of serum NT-proBNP and serum ALB were 0.762 (95%CI: 0.671~0.853) and 0.726 (95%CI: 0.628~0.825), respectively. The AUC of combined detection of 6-hour lactate clearance with serum NT-proBNP and ALB was 0.900 (95%CI: 0.843~0.957).

Conclusion

In elderly patients with severe pneumonia, the 6-hour lactate clearance rate and serum ALB level decrease and serum NT-proBNP level increases. Combined detection of the three indices has high predictive value for death in elderly patients with severe pneumonia, and may be used as a marker to predict the death in this group of patients.
