Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: A high mean platelet volume (MPV) level has been demonstrated to predict poor clinical outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between MPV and mortality in patients with acute cardiorenal syndrome (ACRS) is unknown. Therefore, we investigated the predictive value of MPV for in-hospital mortality of patients with ACRS who received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in this study. We retrospectively analyzed the demographics, etiology, severity of illness, prognosis, and risk factors of ACRS patients who underwent CRRT in our hospital from January 2009 to December 2014. Patients were classified into 2 groups based on the prognosis and timing of CRRT. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to examine the performance of MPV in predicting in-hospital mortality. Baseline characteristics, clinical, and hematological parameters at CRRT initiation were compared between the 2 groups. Factors influencing in-hospital mortality were analyzed by univariate logistic regression analysis. The median age of patients was 74 years. Acute myocardial infarction was the most common cause of ACRS, followed by acute decompensated heart failure. The in-hospital mortality was 51.4%. Age, number of organ failure, APACHE II score, and MPV in the nonsurvivors were significantly higher than those in the survivors ( P < .05). However, the cardiac function and mean arterial pressure were significantly lower in the nonsurvivors ( P < .05). The prognosis of the early intervention group was better than the late-intervention group, but no significant difference was found (P > .05). The area under the curve (AUC) for in hospital mortality based on MPV was 0.735. Univariate analysis showed that age, cardiac function NYHA class, number of organ failure, APACHE II score, MAP, MPV, and use of vasopressors were associated with the prognosis of patients ( P < .05). These findings suggest that the prognosis of patients with ACRS who received CRRT was poor, and MPV might be useful as a marker for predicting the in-hospital mortality of these patients.
