摘要:
目的 评估查尔森共病指数(CCI)对慢加急性肝衰竭(ACLF)患者短期和长期死亡风险的预测价值。 方法 纳入2016年12月1日—2021年12月1日就诊于兰州大学第一医院的ACLF患者317例。按照患者预后结局分为死亡组(n=169)和存活组(n=148),分析基线临床资料及随访数据。计量资料两组间比较采用成组t检验或Mann-Whitney U检验。计数资料两组间比较采用χ2检验。使用单因素和多因素Cox风险比例模型分析ACLF患者预后的影响因素。通过Kaplan-Meier法绘制生存曲线,Log-rank检验比较不同CCI评分患者的生存时间差异,并采用受试者工作特征曲线(ROC曲线)评估CCI等指标对ACLF患者预后的评价效能。 结果 317例ACLF患者中,男225例(71.0%)。死亡组和存活组患者基线资料比较,年龄、Hb、WBC、TBil、Alb、MELD评分、PTA、CCI、年龄校正的查尔森共病指数(ACCI)以及随访时间差异均有统计学意义(P值均<0.05)。多因素Cox回归分析结果显示,CCI(HR=1.351,95%CI:1.112~1.641,P=0.002)、ACCI(HR=1.200,95%CI:1.011~1.423,P=0.037)和MELD评分(HR=1.076,95%CI:1.054~1.099,P<0.001)是ACLF患者预后的独立危险因素。根据CCI评分将ACLF患者分为3组:CCI≤4分组(n=167)、CCI=5分组(n=64)、CCI≥6分组(n=86),3组ACLF患者3年病死率分别为26.5%、83.2%和96.9%。随访3年和随访至2022年9月时,3组患者生存时间两两比较,差异均有统计学意义(P值均<0.001)。CCI、ACCI和MELD评分预测ACLF患者预后的ROC曲线下面积分别为0.845、0.811、0.790。 结论 CCI和ACCI评分作为常用的共病评价指标,对评估ACLF患者短期及长期预后具有一定价值。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the value of Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) in predicting the short- and long-term risks of death in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Methods A total of 317 patients with ACLF who attended The First Hospital of Lanzhou University from December 1, 2016 to December 1, 2021 were enrolled, and according to their prognosis, they were divided into death group with 169 patients and survival group with 148 patients. The two groups were analyzed in terms of clinical data and follow-up data. The group t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The univariate and multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression model analyses were used to investigate the influencing factors for the prognosis of ACLF patients. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves, and the Log-rank test was used for comparison of survival time between patients with different CCI scores. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the performance of CCI and other indices in assessing the prognosis of ACLF patients. Results Among the 317 patients, there were 225 (71.0%) male patients. There were significant differences between the death group and the survival group in age, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, total bilirubin, albumin, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, prothrombin time activity, CCI, age-adjusted Charlson co-morbidity index (ACCI), and follow-up time (all P < 0.05). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the CCI (hazard ratio [HR]=1.351, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.112-1.641, P=0.002), ACCI (HR=1.200, 95%CI: 1.011-1.423, P=0.037), and MELD score (HR=1.076, 95%CI: 1.054-1.099, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for the prognosis of ACLF patients. Based on CCI score, the patients were divided into CCI ≤4 group with 167 patients, CCI=5 group with 64 patients, and CCI ≥6 group with 86 patients, with a 3-year mortality rate of 26.5%, 83.2%, and 96.9%, respectively, and there was a significant difference in survival time between any two groups after 3 years of follow-up and at the time of follow-up till September 2022 (all P < 0.001). CCI, ACCI, and MELD scores had an area under the ROC curve of 0.845, 0.811, and 0.790, respectively, in predicting the prognosis of ACLF patients. Conclusion As commonly used comorbidity assessment indices, CCI and ACCI scores have certain value in evaluating the short- and long-term prognosis of ACLF patients. -
