Long-term risk of dementia after acute respiratory failure requiring intensive care unit admission.
PloS One 2017
This retrospective, population-based cohort study aims to investigate the long-term risk of newly diagnosed dementia in patients discharged for acute respiratory failure that required mechanical ventilation (MV) and intensive care unit (ICU) admission. From the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, first-time ICU patients using MV between June 1, 1998, and December 31, 2012, were enrolled, and they were followed-up until the earliest onset of one of our two endpoints: a new diagnosis of dementia (primary endpoint), or the end of the study. A total of 18,033 patients were enrolled and thirteen hundred eighty-seven patients had been newly diagnosed with dementia (mean onset: 3.2 years post-discharge). Patients ≥ 85 years old had the highest risk (multivariate analysis). Males had a lower risk than did females in both models (HR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.72-0.9 in model 1; HR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.72-0.89 in model 2). ICU stays > 5 days, hospital stays > 14 days, and more ICU readmissions were associated with a higher risk of developing dementia. In conclusion, the long-term risks of a subsequent diagnosis of dementia for acute respiratory failure with MV patients who survive to discharge increase with age and are higher in women than in men. Additionally, the longer the ICU or hospital stay is, and the more ICU readmissions a patient has, are both significantly associated with developing dementia.
