Background
MV Parameters and biomarkers have been associated with the development of AKI in patients with ARDS due to SARS-COV-2. The objective was to analyze these factors in patients who required early MV (<6 hours from hospital admission).
Methods
Single center, prospectively study, conducted at the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases (INER) in Mexico City. We included patients with Pneumonia caused by SARS-COV-2 confirmed by rPCR who require early MV in September 2021. We recorded MV parameters and took a urine sample for measurement of IL-6 by ELISA immediately after the start of MV. Clinical and laboratories data was gathered from medical file. Patients were followed up during hospitalization to analyze outcomes. We define AKI according to KDIGO criteria using only serum creatinine.
We used chi-squared and Mann Whitney-U test as appropriate, to compare variables between patients who developed AKI and those who did not. We calculated the area under the curve (AUC) for IL-6 and stablished a sensibility and specificity balanced cut-off point. We performed a multivariate logistic regression.
Results
We included 45 patients with a median age of 57 years-old, 66.7% were men. Plateau Pressure (PP), Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP), Driving Pressure (DP) and Static Compliance (SC) as well as uIL-6 were higher in the group with AKI. The AUC for uIL-6 was 0.819 (95% CI: 0.687-0.951; p <0.01), the cutoff with the best accuracy was 1.5 pg/mL. The results of univariate and multivariate logistic regression are show in table 1.
Conclusion
Higher levels of uIL-6 and PP in patients who require early MV were associated to development of AKI during hospitalization. Pulmonary inflammation and stiffness may play a role in the development of AKI.
