Constructing a predictive risk score for the needs of coronary care unit care in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective:To construct a risk prediction score for the needs of coronary care unit (CCU) care in stable condition acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who receive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 805 STEMI patients who accepted PCI in the First Hospital of Jilin University from November 2017 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Among the patients, 654 patients from November 2017 to July 2018 were served as the modeling group, the patients with needs of CCU had 125 cases, and the patients without needs of CCU had 529 cases; 151 patients from August 2018 to October 2018 were served as the validation group, the patients with needs of CCU had 28 cases, and the patients without needs of CCU had 123 cases. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to establish the risk prediction model and determine the score standards. The critical value was determined according to the best Youden index of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:Among 805 patients with STEMI, 153 cases (19.01%) had the needs of CCU, and the most common reason was pump failure (heart failure and cardiogenic shock, 113 cases). In the modeling group, age (60 to 74 years old, OR = 1.513, 95% CI 0.945 to 2.424, P = 0.085; ≥75 years old, OR = 2.740, 95% CI 1.371 to 5.478, P = 0.004), total ischemic time>4 h ( OR = 1.701, 95% CI 1.022 to 2.831, P = 0.041), admission shock index ≥0.8 ( OR = 1.910, 95% CI 1.178 to 3.099, P = 0.009), multi-vessel disease ( OR = 2.090, 95% CI 1.272 to 3.432, P = 0.004), preoperative diseased vessels thrombolysis in myocardial ischemia (TIMI) blood flow grade 0 ( OR = 2.099, 95% CI 1.313 to 3.353, P = 0.002), acute anterior myocardial infarction ( OR = 3.696, 95% CI 2.347 to 5.819, P<0.001) and previous history of stroke ( OR = 3.927, 95% CI 2.057 to 7.500, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for CCU needs in STEMI patients undergoing PCI. The scoring criteria were as followings: age<60 years old was given 0 score, 60 to 74 years old 1 score, ≥75 years old 2 score; total ischemic time>4 h in 1 score, admission shock index ≥0.8 2 scores, multi-vessel disease 2 scores, preoperative diseased vessels TIMI blood flow grade 0 2 scores, acute anterior myocardial infarction 3 scores, previous history of stroke 3 scores, and the total score was 15 scores. The patients with 0 to 6 scores were low-risk, and the patients with 7 to 15 scores were high-risk. ROC curve analysis result showed that, in modeling group, the area under curve (AUC) of risk prediction score for predicting the needs of CCU in STEMI patients was 0.740 (95% CI 0.692 to 0.788, P = 0.580); in validation group, the AUC of risk prediction score for predicting the needs of CCU in STEMI patients was 0.755 (95% CI 0.658 to 0.853, P = 0.755). Conclusions:A predictive risk score based on seven risk factors such as age, total ischemic time, admission shock index, multi-vessel disease, preoperative diseased vessels TIMI blood flow grade, acute anterior myocardial infarction and previous history of stroke is constructed in order to predict the needs of CCU in STEMI patients with stable condition who receive PCI treatment. It can be used to help doctors to identify high-risk patients before the admission to CCU, thus providing simple and practical clinical tool for rational allocation of limited CCU resources.

Effect of Hospital Accreditation Process in Outcomes of Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome

Abstract Background: Hospital accreditation has as goal the standardization of patient care, aiming quality improvement. On 2015, a cardiology reference hospital was evaluated and got level 3 from ONA in care given to Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients. Objetive: To compare length of stay (LOS) at Coronary Care Unit (CCU) and the total LOS at the hospital of ACS patients before and after ONA 3 accreditation. Other clinical outcomes were also analyzed. Methods: Systematic and prospective registry of admitted ACS patients at CCU, whose population was divided into pre-accreditation (period 1) and post-accreditation (period 2). Descriptive analysis was performed. For statistical analysis the Mann-Whitney test, chi-squared, Fisher's exact test and Multiple Linear Regression were performed. P value was considered statistically significant when < 0,05. Results: 372 patients were admitted with ACS, 186 in period 1, of which 47 (25,3%) with ST segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), and 186 in period 2, of which 70 (37,6%) with STEMI. The mean age was 65,9 years (± 12,2). About the CCU LOS, there was a reduction from 3 (IQR: 2-4) to 2,5 days (IQR: 2-4; p value = 0,088). Regarding the hospital LOS, there was also a reduction from 8 (IQR: 5-12,25) to 6 days (IQR:4-11; p value = 0,004). Analyzing the type of ACS, there was a significant reduction only at the hospital LOS in non-STEMI patients: 8 to 6 days (p value = 0,001). Other hospitalization length of stay and clinical outcomes did not present a significant reduction in the comparison. Conclusion: After the ONA 3 accreditation, there was a reduction of hospital LOS. There were no significant differences in the other outcomes analyzed.

Objective: To evaluate and compare stressors identified by patients of a coronary intensive care unit with those perceived by patients of a general postoperative intensive care unit. Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted in the coronary intensive care and general postoperative intensive care units of a private hospital. In total, 60 patients participated in the study, 30 in each intensive care unit. The stressor scale was used in the intensive care units to identify the stressors. The mean score of each item of the scale was calculated followed by the total stress score. The differences between groups were considered significant when p < 0.05. Results: The mean ages of patients were 55.63 ± 13.58 years in the coronary intensive care unit and 53.60 ± 17.47 years in the general postoperative intensive care unit. For patients in the coronary intensive care unit, the main stressors were “being in pain”, “being unable to fulfill family roles” and “being bored”. For patients in the general postoperative intensive care unit, the main stressors were “being in pain”, “being unable to fulfill family roles” and “not being able to communicate”. The mean total stress scores were 104.20 ± 30.95 in the coronary intensive care unit and 116.66 ± 23.72 (p = 0.085) in the general postoperative intensive care unit. When each stressor was compared separately, significant differences were noted only between three items. “Having nurses constantly doing things around your bed” was more stressful to the patients in the general postoperative intensive care unit than to those in the coronary intensive care unit (p = 0.013). Conversely, “hearing unfamiliar sounds and noises” and “hearing people talk about you” were the most stressful items for the patients in the coronary intensive care unit (p = 0.046 and 0.005, respectively). ...
