Abstrakt: Objective: Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) is based on the data of intensive care unit (ICU) patients and often correlates with disease severity and prognosis. However, no prognostic predictors exist based on ICU admission data for patients with brain tumors, and no studies have reported an association between APACHE II and prognosis in patients with brain tumors. The Japanese Intensive Care Patients Database (JIPAD) was established to improve the quality of care delivered in intensive care medicine in Japan. We used JIPAD to examine factors associated with in-hospital mortality based on available data of postoperative patients with brain tumors admitted to the ICU.
Methods: Patients aged ≥16 years enrolled in JIPAD between April 2015 and March 2018 after surgical brain tumor resection or biopsy of brain tumors. We examined factors related to outcomes at discharge based on blood tests and medical procedures performed during ICU admission, tumor type, and APACHE II score.
Results: Among the 1454 patients (male:female ratio: 1:1.1, mean age: 62 years) in the study, 32 (2.2 %) died during hospital stay. In multivariate analysis, male sex (odds ratio [OR] 2.70, [95 % confidence interval, CI 1.22-6.00]), malignant tumor (OR 2.51 [95 % CI 1.13-5.55]), and APACHE II score ≥15 (OR 2.51 [95 % CI 3.08-14.3]) were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality.
Conclusion: By picking up cases with a high risk of in-hospital death at an early stage, it is possible to improve methods of treatment and support for the patient's family.
