The relationship between serum sodium ion level and hospital death in patients with chronic heart failure / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the relationship between different serum sodium ion levels and hospital death in patients with chronic heart failure.Methods:The clinical data of patients hospitalized with heart failure from January 2013 to December 2018 in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were continuously collected, and a retrospective cohort study database was established. The study collected clinical data of 10 488 patients. Use SPSS 26.0 software to establish a database and perform statistical analysis. The patients were divided into 6 groups by different blood sodium levels, the heart failure indicators and hospital deaths among the groups were compared, the lowest death rate group (141 - 145 mmol/L) was as a reference, and univariate Logistic analysis of different blood sodium levels were performed to clarify the risk of in-hospital death from heart failure with different blood sodium levels. GraphPad Prism 5 software was used to draw Kaplan-Meier curve and analyzed the cumulative survival rate during hospitalization.Results:In 10 488 patients, there were 417 cases occurred in-hospital deaths. The range of serum sodium at admission was 108.0 - 168.0 mmol/L, and the normal reference range was 135 - 145 mmol/L. The patients were divided into 6 groups according to the blood sodium level at the time of admission group A (<130 mmol/L), group B(130 - 135 mmol/L), group C (136 - 140 mmol/L), group D (141 - 145 mmol/L), group E (146 - 150 mmol/L), group F(≥151 mmol/L), the hospital mortality of different blood sodium groups were 14.5%, 8.6%, 3.6%, 2.4%, 5.1% and 33.3% respectively. Took the lowest in-hospital mortality group D group as a reference, 6 groups with different serum sodium were included in a single factor binary Logistic regression analysis, the results showed that increased or decreased serum sodium may increase the risk of death in the hospital for patients with heart failure. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the accumulate survival rate among the 6 groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with abnormal blood sodium at admission have a higher risk of death in the hospital during the hospital stay. The in-hospital mortality rate of patients with serum sodium ions ranging from 141 to 145 mmol/L is the lowest. With the increase or decrease in serum sodium, the in-hospital mortality rate increases with the increase or decrease in serum sodium. The blood sodium level and the mortality of patients with heart failure show a "U" shape. Curve relationship. Abnormal blood sodium on admission is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in inpatients with heart failure.
