RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the clinical value of nutritional indexes including body mass index (BMI), albumin (ALB), nutrition risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and the nutrition risk in critically ill score (NUTRIC) in 28-day prognosis of patients with sepsis related acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted. Patients with sepsis treated in the emergency intensive care unit (EICU) of China Rehabilitation Research Center from December 1, 2018 to December 1, 2020 were observed for 7 days. Patients with sepsis related AKI were enrolled in this study. The gender, age, BMI, basic diseases, shock, number of affected organs, length of hospital stay, ALB, mechanical ventilation (MV) and vasoactive drug use, sequential organ failure score (SOFA), rapid sequential organ failure score (qSOFA) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) were recorded. The NRS 2002 score and NUTRIC score were calculated. Cox regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis related AKI. The receiver operator characteristic curves (ROC curves) were drawn and the areas under the ROC curves (AUC) were calculated, and the value of BMI, ALB, NRS 2002 score and NUTRIC score was analyzed to predict 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis related AKI. Kaplan Meier survival curves were used to analyze the effects of NRS 2002 score and NUTRIC score stratification on the 28 day prognosis of patients with sepsis related AKI.Results:A total of 140 patients with sepsis related AKI were enrolled, including 73 survival patients and 67 died patients within 28 days. The 28-day mortality was 47.9% (67/140). BMI in the survival group was significantly higher than that in the death group [kg/m 2: 22.0 (19.5, 25.6) vs. 20.7 (17.3, 23.9), P < 0.05], and NRS 2002 score and NUTRIC score were significantly lower than those in the death group [NRS 2002 score: 5 (4, 6) vs. 7 (6, 7), NUTRIC score: 6 (5, 7) vs. 7 (6, 9), both P < 0.05]. The ALB of the survival group was slightly higher than that of the death group, but the difference was not statistically significant. Cox regression analysis showed that NRS 2002 score and NUTRIC score were independent risk factors for 28-day death in patients with sepsis related AKI. ROC curve analysis showed that NUTRIC score had the strongest predictive ability for 28-day death [AUC = 0.785, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.708-0.850], followed by NRS 2002 score (AUC = 0.728, 95% CI was 0.647-0.800), but there was no significant difference between them. Compared with NRS 2002 score, the predictive ability of BMI and ALB was poor. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that the prognosis of patients with NRS 2002 score≥5 was significantly worse than that of patients with NRS 2002 score < 5 (28-day cumulative survival rate: 42.1% vs. 75.6%, Log-Rank test: 2 = 11.884, P = 0.001), and the prognosis of patients with NUTRIC score≥6 was significantly worse than that of patients with NUTRIC score < 6 (28-day cumulative survival rate: 40.4% vs. 86.1%, Log-Rank test: 2 = 19.026, P = 0.000). Conclusions:Patients with sepsis related AKI have high nutritional risk. Both NRS 2002 score and NUTRIC score have good predictive value for the prognosis of patients with sepsis related AKI, while BMI and ALB have low predictive value. Due to the complex calculation of NUTRIC score, NRS 2002 score may be more suitable for emergency department.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the relationship between nutritional risk status and implementation of nutrition therapy in mechanical ventilated (MV) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, so as to provide evidence for individualized nutrition therapy. Methods A prospective multicenter observational study was conducted. MV COPD patients admitted to Department of Intensive Care Units (ICU) of 10 County Hospitals in Zhejiang Province from January 2015 to January 2016 were enrolled, and according to nutrition risk screening 2002 (NRS2002) score, they were divided into nutritional high risk group (NRS2002 3-5) and nutritional extremely high risk group (NRS2002 6-7). Nutrition therapy situation and hospital mortality were compared between the two groups; multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with COPD under mechanical ventilation. Kaplan-Meier curve was used to analyze the prognosis at 30 days; receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to test the robustness of multivariable regression analysis. Results ① One hundred and six COPD patients with MV were analyzed; among them, 90 patients were in the nutritional high risk group, and 16 were in the nutritional extremely high risk group. There were no significant differences in age, gender and body mass index (BMI) between the two groups (all P > 0.05); the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, NRS2002 score in patients of nutrition risk extremely high group were obviously higher than that in patients with nutrition high risk group (APACHEⅡ: 24.9±6.1 vs. 20.3±5.8, NRS2002 score: 6.3±0.5 vs. 4.2±0.8, both P < 0.05). ② Patients in both groups received early enteral nutrition (EN) therapy, the proportion of patients in nutritional extremely high risk group received early EN was lower than that of patients in the nutritional high risk group [12.5% (2/16) vs. 17.7% (16/90)], along with the prolongation of hospital stay, the proportions of patients beginning to receive the EN were gradually increased in the nutrition extremely high risk group and high risk group, after 2 days the EN increased significantly, and reached the highest value on day 6 after entering ICU [100.0% (16/16), 98.9% (89/90), respectively]; within 3 days after admission into ICU, the proportion of EN in nutrition extremely high risk group was obviously lower than that in nutrition high risk group, and from day 4, there was no statistical significant difference in proportion of EN between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The time to start parenteral nutrition (PN) treatment was relatively early admission to the ICU on day 1 and the proportion of this therapy was high in the two groups [56.2% (9/16), 27.7% (25/90), respectively], the PN proportion did not decrease with the length of hospitalization and the increase of EN. The proportion of patients in the nutrition extremely high risk group who started PN treatment was higher, which reached 56.2% admission to the ICU on day 1.③ With extension of hospital stay, the calories of EN were gradually increased in the nutritional high risk group, the highest calories in nutritional high risk groups was 4 318 (3 912, 4 812) kJ/d at day 7; while the highest calories in nutritional extremely high risk groups was 3 602 (2 167, 4 615) kJ/d at day 6 and a slight decreased at day 7; the difference of calories within the first week between the two groups had no significance (all P > 0.05). The calorific value of PN therapy remained at a constant level during hospitalization within 7 days, and after admission into ICU for 4-5 days, the target range of calories was achieved. ④ Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the mortality at 30 days in the extremely high risk group was significantly higher than that in the high risk group [62.5% (10/16) vs. 11.1% (10/90), χ2 = 15.4, P < 0.01]. ⑤ Multiple cox-regression analysis showed that NRS2002 scoring was the independent risk factor affecting the mortality of patients in hospital [odds ratio (OR) = 2.08, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.39-3.12, P = 0.005]. ⑥ ROC curve analysis: according to ROC curve analysis of the effectiveness of multi-factor regression model, area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.79, sensitivity was 70.00%, specificity was 74.42%, positive likelihood ratio was 2.74, negative likelihood ratio was 0.40, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.702-0.864, P = 0.001, and it showed that the regression model had a good prediction effect. Conclusions MV COPD patients have significant nutritional risk and all receive early EN therapy. The proportion of beginning to use PN treatment in patients with nutritional extremely high risk is relatively high. Initial nutritional status is the independent risk factor of poor prognosis in MV patients with COPD.

Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) was developed on the basis of 128 randomized controlled clinical studies by a group of experts led by Kondrup from the European Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ESPEN).As the first evidence-based nutritional screening tool worldwide,NRS 2002 has been recommended for nutritional risk assessment of hospitalized patients in Europe for the addition of disease metabolism and its simplicity.In this article,we reviewed the increasing applications of NRS 2002 in China,pointed out the existing problems and made several suggestions on improvement for popularization and standardization of its clinical use.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the incidences of nutrition risks, malnutrition ( undernutrition),overweight, and obesity, and nutrition support in tertiary hospitals in Xinjiang Uigur Autonomous Region. Methods Using fixed-point consecutive sampling, we collected the clinical data of inpatients in 6 departments of five tertiary hospitals in Xinjiang. According to the Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002 ) published by European Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, patients were graded as at nutritional risk when their NRS 2002 scores ≥3 and as malnutrition when the body mass index (BMI) was ＜ 18.5 kg/m2 (or albumin ＜ 30 g/L). NRS 2002 screening was performed on the next morning after a patient was admitted. The nutrition supports within 2 weeks after admission were also investigated. The relationship between nutrition risks and nutrition support was analyzed.Results A total of 4036 inpatients were investigated, among them 3913 patients received NRS 2002 screening.The malnutrition (undernutrition) rate and the proportion of patients at nutritional risk were 8.4% and 34. 2%, respectively. The percentage of nutrition support was 10. 2%, which included parenteral nutrition (8. 5% ) and ena simple, fast and convenient tool for the investigation of nutrition risks and can provide a basis for reasonable nutrition support Therefore, it should be widely applied in clinical practice.
