Analysis of risk factors affecting 90-day prognosis of patients with heat stroke
Objective To investigate the risk factors of 90-day prognosis in patients with heat stroke.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 89 patients with heat stroke admitted to the Department of Intensive Care Medicine,Mianyang Central Hospital from June 2018 to August 2022.They were divided in-to the survival group and the death group according to 90-day mortality.Data of age,temperature and heart rate at admission,cooling time,inflammation and laboratory data on organ dysfunction,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ score,Sequential Organ Failure Assessment(SOFA)score,and Glasgow Coma Scale score were compared between the two groups.Results Of the 89 patients,27(30.3%)died within 90 days.Cooling time,heart rate at admission,SOFA score were independent risk factors affecting patient surviv-al,and the differences were statistically significant(HR=6.230,1.738,1.042,95%confidence interval:2.561-14.521,1.026-2.114,1.011-1.427,P=0.004,0.002,0.023).The area under the working charac-teristic curve of the combination of cooling time,heart rate at admission,and SOFA score predicted the 90-day mortality of the patients with heat stroke was 0.993(95%CI:0.976-1.000,P<0.001),the sensitivity was 1.000,and the specificity was 0.933.Conclusion Cooling time,heart rate on admission,and SOFA score are the factors affecting 90-day survival of patients with thermal radiation.The three indexes can be used in com-bination to predict 90-day mortality and poor prognosis.
