| Popis: | Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Objectives: Circulatory dysfunction has been associated with mortality in children with septic shock. However, the mortality risk attributable to myocardial dysfunction per se has not been established, and the association between myocardial dysfunction and mortality is confounded by illness severity. The objective was to determine if sepsis-associated myocardial dysfunction defined by low left ventricular ejection fraction or global longitudinal strain is associated with mortality in pediatric septic shock after adjusting for baseline mortality probability. Design: Retrospective, observational study. Setting: Single-center, quaternary-care PICU. Patients: Children less than 18 years old admitted to the PICU from 2003 to 2018 who had an echocardiogram performed within 48 hours of septic shock identification and Pediatric Sepsis Biomarker Risk Model II data available. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: All echocardiograms were reread by a cardiologist blinded to patient data for left ventricular ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain. Low left ventricular ejection fraction was defined as less than 45%, and low global longitudinal strain was defined as greater than z score of –2 for body surface area. Multivariable logistic regression separately analyzed the associations of low left ventricular ejection fraction and low global longitudinal strain with mortality, adjusting for Pediatric Sepsis Biomarker Risk Model II mortality risk. A post hoc logistic regression analyzed the association of left ventricular ejection fraction as a continuous variable with mortality, where linearity was maintained for left ventricular ejection fraction less than 65%. Eighteen percent of 181 children had low left ventricular ejection fraction. After adjusting for baseline mortality risk, low left ventricular ejection fraction remained independently associated with mortality (odds ratio, 4.4 [1.0–19.8]; p = 0.0497). Likewise, left ventricular ejection fraction was associated with mortality (odds ratio, 0.96 [0.93–0.99]; p = 0.037) on multivariable analysis for left ventricular ejection fraction less than 65%. Thirty-six percent of 169 children had low global longitudinal strain, and low global longitudinal strain was also independently associated with mortality (odds ratio, 4.6 [1.2–18.0]; p = 0.027). Conclusions: Sepsis-associated myocardial dysfunction, whether defined by low left ventricular ejection fraction or low global longitudinal strain, is an independent risk factor for mortality in pediatric septic shock after accounting for the confounding effects of septic shock severity. |
