ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the risk factors of acute kidney injury after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection.MethodsWe searched the CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP, PubMed, Web of science, Cochrane Library (from inception to January 2019) to identify studies about the risk factors of acute kidney injury after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection. Quality of the included studies was evaluated by Kars-Ottawa scale. The meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 16 case-control studies were included involving 1 728 patients. The results of meta-analysis showed that gender (OR=1.58, 95% CI 1.31 to 1.89, P<0.001), body mass index (OR=1.05, 95% CI 0.66 to 1.45, P<0.001), hypertension (OR=1.58, 95% CI 1.10 to 2.26, P=0.010), smoking history (OR=1.71, 95% CI 1.12 to 2.61, P=0.010), preoperative serum creatinine level (OR=30.26, 95% CI 20.17 to 40.35, P<0.000 01), preoperative white blood cell (OR=1.73, 95% CI 0.26 to 3.20, P=0.020), extracorporeal circulation time (OR=25.60, 95% CI 21.13 to 30.08, P<0.000 01), aortic occlusion time (OR=13.24, 95% CI 10.27 to 16.22, P<0.001), deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) time (OR=2.58, 95% CI 0.86 to 4.29, P=0.003), arch replacement (OR=2.31, 95% CI 1.31 to 4.07, P=0.004), intraoperative blood transfusion (OR=1.27, 95% CI 0.29 to 2.24, P=0.010), postoperative mean arterial pressure (OR=–2.41, 95% CI –4.59 to –0.24, P=0.030), reoperation due to postoperative hemorrhage (OR=4.19, 95% CI 2.04 to 8.63, P<0.001), postoperative acute respiratory insufficiency (OR=6.61, 95% CI 3.21 to 13.60, P<0.001), postoperative mechanical ventilation time (OR=48.51, 95% CI 21.94 to 75.09, P<0.001) were associated with acute kidney injury after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection.ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that gender, body mass index, hypertension, smoking history, preoperative serum creatinine level, preoperative white blood cell, extracorporeal circulation time, aortic occlusion time, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) time, arch replacement, intraoperative blood transfusion, postoperative mean arterial pressure, postoperative hemorrhage reoperation, postoperative acute respiratory insufficiency and postoperative mechanical ventilation time were risk factors for acute kidney injury after surgery for type A aortic dissection. Medical staff can strengthen perioperative management of patients with acute type A aortic dissection combined with the above factors, so as to reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury after operation and improve the clinical prognosis of patients.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the delirium risk prediction models in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.MethodsThe Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid, VIP, WanFang Date and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect studies on delirium risk prediction models in intensive care unit patients from inception to December, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, evaluated the included studies according to the CHARMS checklist, and then systematic review was performed to evaluate the risk prediction models.ResultsA total of 9 studies were included, of which 7 were prospective studies. Six models were internally validated. All studies reported the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) over 0.7 (0.739-0.926). The reduction of cognitive reserve and increased blood urea nitrogen were the most commonly reported predisposing and precipitating factors of delirium among all prediction models. Methodologically, the absence or unreported of the blind method, to a certain extent, partially increase the risk of bias.ConclusionsNine prediction models all have great power in early identifying and screening patients who are at high risk of developing ICU delirium. On the basis of judiciously selecting a practical prediction model for clinical practice or carrying out a large sample-size prospective cohort study to construct the localized prediction model, stratified prevention strategies should be formulated and implemented according to the risk stratification results to reduce the incidence of ICU delirium and accelerate the rational allocation of medical resources for delirium prevention.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the risk factors of postoperative hypoxemia in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.MethodsPubMed, EBCO, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect case-control studies and cohort studies on the risk factors of postoperative hypoxemia in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting from inception to December 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 20 articles were included, including 3 926 patients. The results of meta-analysis showed that: age (OR=2.94, 95%CI 0.81 to 5.07, P=0.007), body mass index (OR=1.94, 95%CI 0.77 to 3.12, P=0.001), smoking (OR=2.72, 95%CI 1.68 to 4.42, P<0.000 1), diabetes history (OR=1.63, 95%CI 1.37 to 1.93, P<0.000 01), preoperative lung diseases (OR=4.11, 95%CI 1.64 to 10.28, P=0.003), complicated ventricular aneurysm (OR=1.57, 95%CI 1.12 to 2.21, P=0.01), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (OR=1.28, 95%CI 0.12 to 2.44, P=0.03), aortic occlusion time (OR=13.25, 95%CI 4.93 to 21.57, P=0.002), operation time (OR=9.33, 95%CI 5.36 to 13.30, P<0.000 01), number of bypass branches (OR=0.19, 95%CI 0.02 to 0.36, P=0.03), intraoperative infusion volume (OR=383.46, 95%CI 282.16 to 484.76, P<0.000 01) and postoperative pulmonary infection (OR=6.00, 95%CI 3.83 to 9.42, P<0.000 01) were the risk factors for postoperative hypoxemia in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Preoperative ejection fraction (OR=−2.60, 95%CI −4.56 to −0.64, P=0.009) and preoperative partial oxygen pressure (OR=−3.14, 95%CI −4.72 to −1.56, P=0.000 1) were the protective factors for postoperative hypoxemia.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that age, body mass index, smoking, diabetes history, preoperative lung diseases, complicated ventricular aneurysm, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, aortic occlusion time, operation time, number of bypass branches, intraoperative infusion volume and postoperative pulmonary infection are risk factors for postoperative hypoxemia in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Due to limited quality and quantity of included studies, the above conclusion is required to be assessed by further studies.

Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 14 studies involving 2 658 objects and 13 risk factors were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: female (OR=1.54, 95%CI 1.23 to 1.94, P=0.000 2), rural residence (OR=1.46, 95%CI 1.11 to 1.91, P=0.007), diabetes mellitus (OR=1.54, 95%CI 1.24 to 1.92, P<0.000 1), hyperlipidemia (OR=1.41, 95%CI 1.10 to 1.80, P=0.007), coronary heart disease (OR=1.94, 95%CI 1.30 to 2.89, P=0.001), previous stroke history (OR=1.54, 95%CI 1.07 to 2.23, P<0.000 01), pre-stroke fatigue (OR=4.51, 95%CI 3.33 to 6.09, P<0.000 01), basal ganglia stroke (OR=2.76, 95%CI 1.21 to 6.29, P<0.000 01), NIHSS >3 (OR=2.11, 95%CI 1.59 to 2.79, P<0.000 01), admission glucose level (OR=1.08, 95%CI 0.38 to 1.78, P=0.003), post-stroke sleep disorder (OR=2.40, 95%CI 1.87 to 3.07, P<0.000 01), post-stroke pain (OR=2.32, 95%CI 1.56 to 3.45, P<0.000 1) and post-stroke depression (OR=3.31, 95%CI 1.94 to 5.66, P<0.000 1) were risk factors of acute fatigue in patients with stroke.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that female, rural residence, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, previous stroke history, pre-stroke fatigue, basal ganglia stroke, NIHSS>3, admission glucose level, post-stroke sleep disorder, post-stroke pain and post-stroke depression are the risk factors of acute fatigue in patients with stroke. Medical staff should strengthen targeted preventive care for high-risk patients with related risk factors in order to reduce the incidence of post-stroke fatigue and improve the clinical prognosis outcome of patients.
