    (2019) TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino; RAMOS, Fernando Jose da Silva; MOMMA, Arthur Khan; MARTINS FILHO, Antonio Paulo Ramos; BARTOCCI, Juliana Jardim; LOPES, Maria Fernanda Dias; SAD, Matheus Horta; RODRIGUES, Cinthia Mendes; SIQUEIRA, Ellen Maria Pires; VIEIRA JR., Jose Mauro
    Objective Intensive care unit (ICU) discharge is a decision process that is usually performed subjectively. We evaluated whether a subjective score (Sabadell score) is associated with hospital outcomes. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study from August 2014 to May 2015 at a tertiary-care private hospital in Brazil. We analyzed 425 patients who were discharged alive from the ICU to the wards. We used univariate and multivariate analysis to identify risk factors associated with a composite endpoint of worse outcomes (later ICU readmission or ward death) during the same hospitalization. Results Forty-three patients (10.1%) were readmitted after ICU discharge, and 19 died in the ward. Compared with patients with successful outcomes, those with the composite endpoint were older and more severely ill, had a nonsurgical reason for hospitalization, more frequently came from the ward, were less frequently independent during daily activities, had sepsis, had higher C-reactive protein concentrations at ICU admission, and had higher Sabadell scores at discharge. The multivariate analysis showed that sepsis and the Sabadell score were independently and significantly associated with worse outcomes. Conclusion Sepsis at admission and the Sabadell score were predictors of worse hospital outcomes. The Sabadell score might be a promising predictive tool.

    Point-of-care ultrasonography in Brazilian intensive care units: a national survey
    (2018) PELLEGRINI, Jose Augusto Santos; CORDIOLI, Ricardo Luiz; GRUMANN, Ana Cristina Burigo; ZIEGELMANN, Patricia Klarmann; TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino
    Background: Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) has recently become a useful tool that intensivists are incorporating into clinical practice. However, the incorporation of ultrasonography in critical care in developing countries is not straightforward. Methods: Our objective was to investigate current practice and education regarding POCUS among Brazilian intensivists. A national survey was administered to Brazilian intensivists using an electronic questionnaire. Questions were selected by the Delphi method and assessed topics included organizational issues, POCUS technique and training patterns, machine availability, and main applications of POCUS in daily practice. Results: Of 1533 intensivists who received the questionnaire, 322 responded from all of Brazil's regions. Two hundred and five (63.8%) reported having access to an ultrasound machine dedicated to the intensive care unit (ICU); however, this was more likely in university hospitals than in non-university hospitals (80.6 vs. 59.6%; risk ratio [RR] = 1.35 [1.16-1.58], p = 0.002). The main applications of POCUS were ultrasound-guided central vein catheterization (49.4%) and bedside echocardiographic assessment (33.9%). Two hundred and fifty-eight (80.0%) reported having at least one POCUS-trained intensivist in their staff (trained units). Trained units were more likely to perform routine ultrasound-guided jugular vein catheterization than non-trained units (38.6 vs. 16.4%; RR = 2.35 [1.31-4.23], p = 0.001). The proportion of POCUS-trained intensivists and availability of a dedicated ultrasound machine were both independently associated with performing ultrasound-guided jugular vein catheterization (RR = 1.91 [1.32-2.77], p = 0.001) and (RR = 2.20 [1.26-3.29], p = 0.005), respectively. Conclusions: A significant proportion of Brazilian ICUs had at least one intensivist with POCUS capability in their staff. Although ultrasound-guided central vein catheterization constitutes the main application of POCUS, adherence to guideline recommendations is still suboptimal.

    Comparação do desempenho do SAPS 3 em pacientes com e sem tumor sólido admitidos a uma unidade de terapia intensiva no Brasil: um estudo de coorte retrospectiva
    (2020) TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino; SIQUEIRA, Ellen Maria Pires
    ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the performance of the Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 (SAPS 3) in patients with and without solid cancer who were admitted to the intensive care unit of a comprehensive oncological hospital in Brazil. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of our administrative database of the first admission of adult patients to the intensive care unit from 2012 to 2016. The patients were categorized according to the presence of solid cancer. We evaluated discrimination using the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUROC) and calibration using the calibration belt approach. Results: We included 7,254 patients (41.5% had cancer, and 12.1% died during hospitalization). Oncological patients had higher hospital mortality than nononcological patients (14.1% versus 10.6%, respectively; p < 0.001). SAPS 3 discrimination was better for oncological patients (AUROC = 0.85) than for nononcological patients (AUROC = 0.79) (p < 0.001). After we applied the calibration belt in oncological patients, the SAPS 3 matched the average observed rates with a confidence level of 95%. In nononcological patients, the SAPS 3 overestimated mortality in those with a low-middle risk. Calibration was affected by the time period only for nononcological patients. Conclusion: SAPS 3 performed differently between oncological and nononcological patients in our single-center cohort, and variation over time (mainly calibration) was observed. This finding should be taken into account when evaluating severity-of-illness score performance.

    Disponibilidade de recursos para tratamento da sepse no Brasil: uma amostra aleatória de instituições brasileiras
    (2019) TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino; AZEVEDO, Luciano Cesar Pontes de; BOZZA, Fernando Augusto; CAVALCANTI, Alexandre Biasi; FERREIRA, Elaine Maria; CARRARA, Fernanda Sousa Angotti; SOUSA, Juliana Lubarino; SALOMÃO, Reinaldo; MACHADO, Flávia Ribeiro
    ABSTRACT Objective: To characterize resource availability from a nationally representative random sample of intensive care units in Brazil. Methods: A structured online survey of participating units in the Sepsis PREvalence Assessment Database (SPREAD) study, a nationwide 1-day point prevalence survey to assess the burden of sepsis in Brazil, was sent to the medical director of each unit. Results: A representative sample of 277 of the 317 invited units responded to the resources survey. Most of the hospitals had fewer than 500 beds (94.6%) with a median of 14 beds in the intensive care unit. Providing care for public-insured patients was the main source of income in two-thirds of the surveyed units. Own microbiology laboratory was not available for 26.8% of the surveyed intensive care units, and 10.5% did not always have access to blood cultures. Broad spectrum antibiotics were not always available in 10.5% of surveyed units, and 21.3% could not always measure lactate within three hours. Those institutions with a high resource availability (158 units, 57%) were usually larger and preferentially served patients from the private health system compared to institutions without high resource availability. Otherwise, those without high resource availability did not always have broad-spectrum antibiotics (24.4%), vasopressors (4.2%) or crystalloids (7.6%). Conclusion: Our study indicates that a relevant number of units cannot perform basic monitoring and therapeutic interventions in septic patients. Our results highlight major opportunities for improvement to adhere to simple but effective interventions in Brazil.

    Critérios para síndrome de resposta inflamatória sistêmica e predição de mortalidade hospitalar em pacientes críticos: estudo retrospectivo de coorte
    (2017) TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino; PIRES, Ellen Maria Campos; VIEIRA JR., José Mauro; AZEVEDO, Luciano Cesar Pontes de
    ABSTRACT Objective: This study intended to determine whether the systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria can predict hospital mortality in a Brazilian cohort of critically ill patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study at a private tertiary hospital in São Paulo (SP), Brazil. We extracted information from the adult intensive care unit database (Sistema EpimedTM). We compared the SAPS 3 and the systemic inflammatory response syndrome model as dichotomous (≥ 2 criteria: systemic inflammatory response syndrome -positive versus 0 - 1 criterion: systemic inflammatory response syndrome -negative) and ordinal variables from 0 to 4 (according to the number of systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria met) in the prediction of hospital mortality at intensive care unit admission. Model discrimination was compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUROC) curve. Results: From January to December 2012, we studied 932 patients (60.4% were systemic inflammatory response syndrome -positive). systemic inflammatory response syndrome -positive patients were more critically ill than systemic inflammatory response syndrome -negative patients and had higher hospital mortality (16.9% versus 8.1%, p < 0.001). In the adjusted analysis, being systemic inflammatory response syndrome -positive independently increased the risk of death by 82% (odds ratio 1.82; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12 - 2.96, p = 0.016). However, the AUROC curve for the SAPS 3 model was higher (0.81, 95%CI 0.78 - 0.85) compared to the systemic inflammatory response syndrome model with the systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria as a dichotomous variable (0.60, 95%CI 0.55 - 0.65) and as an ordinal variable (0.62, 95%CI 0.57 - 0.68; p < 0.001) for hospital mortality. Conclusion: Although systemic inflammatory response syndrome is associated with hospital mortality, the systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria show low accuracy in the prediction of mortality compared with the SAPS 3.

    Factors associated with renal Doppler resistive index in critically ill patients: a prospective cohort study
    (2019) OLIVEIRA, Raphael A. G.; MENDES, Pedro V.; PARK, Marcelo; TANIGUCHI, Leandro U.
    BackgroundThe renal Doppler resistive index (renal RI) is a noninvasive tool that has been used to assess renal perfusion in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. However, many parameters have been described as influential on the values of renal RI. Therefore, we proposed this study to evaluate the variables that could impact renal RI in critically ill patients.MethodsA prospective observational study was performed in a 14-bed medical-surgical adult ICU. All consecutive patients admitted to the ICU during the study period were evaluated for eligibility. Renal RI was performed daily until the third day after ICU admission, death, or renal replacement therapy (RRT) requirement. Clinical and blood test data were collected throughout this period. Acute kidney injury (AKI) reversibility was categorized as transient (normalization of renal function within 3days of AKI onset) or persistent (non-resolution of AKI within 3days of onset or need for RRT). A linear mixed model was applied to evaluate the factors that could influence renal RI.ResultsEighty-three consecutive patients were included. Of these, 65% were male and 50.6% were medical admissions. Mean SAPS 3 was 4716. Renal RI was significantly different between no-AKI (0.64 +/- 0.06), transient AKI (0.64 +/- 0.07), and persistent AKI groups (0.70 +/- 0.08, p<0.01). Variables associated with renal RI variations were mean arterial pressure, lactate, age, and persistent AKI (p<0.05). No association between serum chloride and renal RI was observed p=0.868).Conclusions Mean arterial pressure, lactate, age, and type of AKI might influence renal RI in critically ill patients.

    Sepsis-3 definitions predict ICU mortality in a low-middle-income country
    (2016) BESEN, Bruno Adler Maccagnan Pinheiro; ROMANO, Thiago Gomes; NASSAR JR., Antonio Paulo; TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino; AZEVEDO, Luciano Cesar Pontes; MENDES, Pedro Vitale; ZAMPIERI, Fernando Godinho; PARK, Marcelo
    Background: Sepsis-3 definitions were published recently and validated only in high-income countries. The aim of this study was to assess the new criteria's accuracy in stratifying mortality as compared to its predecessor (Sepsis-2) in a Brazilian public intensive care unit (ICU) and to investigate whether the addition of lactate values would improve stratification. Methods: Retrospective cohort study conducted between 2010 and 2015 in a public university's 19-bed ICU. Data from patients admitted to the ICU with sepsis were retrieved from a prospectively collected database. ICU mortality was compared across categories of both Sepsis-2 definitions (sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock) and Sepsis-3 definitions (infection, sepsis and septic shock). Area under the receiving operator characteristic curves were constructed, and the net reclassification index and integrated discrimination index for the addition of lactate as a categorical variable to each stratum of definition were evaluated. Results: The medical records of 957 patients were retrieved from a prospectively collected database. Mean age was 52 +/- 19 years, median SAPS 3 was 65 [50,79], respiratory tract infection was the most common cause (42%, 402 patients), and 311 (32%) patients died in ICU. The ICU mortality rate was progressively higher across categories of sepsis as defined by the Sepsis-3 consensus: infection with no organ dysfunction-7 /103 (7%); sepsis-106/419 (25%); and septic shock-198/435 (46%) (P < 0.001). For Sepsis-2 definitions, ICU mortality was different only across the categories of severe sepsis [43/252-(17%)] and septic shock [250/572-(44%)] (P < 0.001); sepsis had a mortality of 18/135(13%) (P = 0.430 vs. severe sepsis). When combined with lactate, the definitions' accuracy in stratifying ICU mortality only improved with lactate levels above 4 mmol/L. This improvement occurred in the severe sepsis and septic shock groups (Sepsis-2) and the no-dysfunction and septic shock groups (Sepsis-3). Multivariate analysis demonstrated similar findings. Conclusions: In a Brazilian ICU, the new Sepsis-3 definitions were accurate in stratifying mortality and were superior to the previous definitions. We also observed that the new definitions' accuracy improved progressively with severity. Serum lactate improved accuracy for values higher than 4 mmol/L in the no-dysfunction and septic shock groups.

    Adesão a um protocolo de profilaxia de úlcera de estresse em pacientes críticos: estudo de coorte prospectiva
    (2020) SANTOS, Yuri de Albuquerque Pessoa dos; YOUNES-IBRAHIM, Mauricio Staib; CROZATTI, Lucas Lonardoni; RAGLIONE, Dante; CARDOZO JUNIOR, Luis Carlos Maia; BESEN, Bruno Adler Maccagnan Pinheiro; TANIGUCHI, Leandro Utino; PARK, Marcelo; MENDES, Pedro Vitale
    ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate adherence to the stress ulcer prophylaxis protocol in critically ill patients at a tertiary university hospital. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we included all adult patients admitted to the medical and surgical intensive care units of an academic tertiary hospital. Our sole exclusion criterion was upper gastrointestinal bleeding at intensive care unit admission. We collected baseline variables and stress ulcer prophylaxis indications according to the institutional protocol and use of prophylaxis. Our primary outcome was adherence to the stress ulcer prophylaxis protocol. Secondary outcomes were appropriate use of stress ulcer prophylaxis, upper gastrointestinal bleeding incidence and factors associated with appropriate use of stress ulcer prophylaxis. Results: Two hundred thirty-four patients were enrolled from July 2nd through July 31st, 2018. Patients were 52 ± 20 years old, 125 (53%) were surgical patients, and the mean SAPS 3 was 52 ± 20. In the longitudinal follow-up, 1499 patient-days were studied; 1069 patient-days had stress ulcer prophylaxis indications, and 777 patient-days contained prophylaxis use (73% stress ulcer prophylaxis protocol adherence). Of the 430 patient-days without stress ulcer prophylaxis indications, 242 involved prophylaxis (56% inappropriate stress ulcer prophylaxis use). The overall appropriate use of stress ulcer prophylaxis was 64%. Factors associated with proper stress ulcer prophylaxis prescription were mechanical ventilation OR 2.13 (95%CI 1.64 - 2.75) and coagulopathy OR 2.77 (95%CI 1.66 - 4.60). The upper gastrointestinal bleeding incidence was 12.8%. Conclusion: Adherence to the stress ulcer prophylaxis protocol was low and inappropriate use of stress ulcer prophylaxis was frequent in this cohort of critically ill patients.
