Prediction of prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with respiratory failure: A comparison of three nutritional assessment methods.
European Journal of Internal Medicine 2018 November
OBJECTIVES: Due to their increased energy expenditure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with respiratory failure are susceptible to malnutrition. This study aimed to compare the predictive values of the following three widely used nutritional assessment methods for the clinical prognosis of COPD patients with respiratory failure: body mass index (BMI), Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002), and serum albumin (ALB) level.
METHODS: COPD patients with respiratory failure treated in our center from June 2013 to June 2016 were retrospectively included. Patient BMI, NRS 2002 and ALB values were measured to assess their nutritional status. A multivariable analysis was conducted, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to explore the predictive factors for clinical prognoses.
RESULTS: A total of 438 qualified patients were enrolled in our study. Multivariable analysis revealed that the BMI and ALB values independently predicted in-hospital mortality, the BMI and NRS 2002 predicted 1-year mortality, and all three methods (BMI, NRS 2002, and ALB) predicted 30-day readmission after discharge (P < 0.05). Regarding the results of the AUROC analysis, the optimal cutoff values that maximized the ability to predict the prognosis were an ALB level of 30.5 g/L for in-hospital mortality, an NRS 2002 score of 3 points for 1-year mortality, and an ALB level of 30.1 g/L for readmission within 30 days following discharge.
CONCLUSIONS: For COPD patients with respiratory failure, ALB level was superior for predicting in-hospital mortality and 30-day readmission after discharge, and NRS 2002 was superior for long-term prognosis of 1-year mortality.
