Abstract

BACKGROUND: The primary endpoint was to investigate the prognostic factors of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) in ICU patients. METHODS: Retrospective observational, non-interventional, monocentric study of a cohort of 214 ICU patients with a confirmed diagnosis of arterial AMI. RESULTS: We collected demographics, mortality, hospital stay, prior medical history, comorbidities, reasons for ICU admission, laboratory investigations, diagnostic procedures, therapy, severity scores. The 30-day mortality rate was 71% for the 214 patients with arterial AMI. The incidence of nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia was particularly high. AMI was a secondary diagnosis in 58% of patients. Half of the population was represented by surgical patients who mostly required an urgent procedure. The mortality rate was not different in the subgroup with aortic surgery. Three factors were associated with an increase or decrease in mortality: the maximal dose of vasopressors (VP) administered to the patient (OR = 1.20; 95%CI = 1.08-1.33; p < 0.001), arterial change in lactate values within the first 24 h of admission (OR = 1.24; 95%CI = 1.05-1.48; p = 0.012) and anticoagulation (OR = 0.19; 95%CI = 0.043-0.84; p = 0.029). CONCLUSIONS: Fatalities after AMI were related to a high incidence of multi-organ failure. The monitoring of arterial lactate appeared helpful to identify the patients with a poor prognosis.

  • Risk factors for increased mortality in AMI include advanced age, leukocytosis, high arterial lactate level in the first 24 h of admission, metabolic acidosis, bandemia, sepsis, hypoxia, hyperamylasemia, intramural pneumatosis, elapsed time between onset of symptoms and surgery more than 24 h, colon involvement, hepatic and renal impairment and multi-organ failure.

    “Risk factors for increased mortality include advanced age, leukocytosis, high arterial lactate level in the first 24 h of admission, metabolic acidosis, bandemia, sepsis, hypoxia, hyperamylasemia, intramural pneumatosis, elapsed time between onset of symptoms and surgery more than 24 h, colon involvement, hepatic and renal impairment and multi-organ failure[123-125].”

    From Ischemic bowel disease in 2021. (2021) · cites this paper as [124]

    The Results (Comparison survivors versus non-survivors) associate higher arterial lactate, pneumatosis intestinalis, sepsis and higher creatinine with poorer outcomes; the Discussion also links prognosis to the number of organ dysfunctions. But the Discussion says age was not an independent mortality risk factor in this cohort, and the Results show no significant association for leukocyte count. The paper does not establish several other listed factors, including bandemia, hyperamylasemia and a symptom-to-surgery interval over 24 hours. (LLM, conf=0.90)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
