Abstract:
Objective:To explore the related factors of failure of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and construct its prediction model.
Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 216 patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure who received HFNC treatment at the 908 Hospital of the PLA Joint Logistic Support Force from January 2019 to July 2021.Patients were divided into successful group (145 cases) and failure group (71 cases, including patients who were transitioned to receive invasive mechanical ventilation therapy and patients who died)according to the treatment status of HFNC.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of HFNC treatment failure, and the risk prediction model was constructed.In addition, 98 patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure who received HFNC treatment in our hospital from August 2021 to March 2022 were selected as external validation.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to evaluate the application value of the risk prediction model, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to judge the goodness-fit of the model.
Results:There were significant differences in age, fever, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHE Ⅱ) score, coronary heart disease, old myocardial infarction, interstitial lung disease, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), cardiac troponin I (TnI), initial HFNC flow, and patient's respiratory rate (RR) and ROX index (the ratio of SpO
2/FiO
2 to RR) before and after treatment between the two groups (
P< 0.05).Multiva-riate analysis showed that fever, APACHE Ⅱscore, BNP, TnI, RR and ROX index after 1 hour of treatment were all influencing factors for treatment failure of HFNC(
P< 0.05).The results of ROC evaluation showed that the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.798 (95%
CI: 0.748-0.848), the cut-off value was 84.296, the sensitivity was 81.7%, and the specificity was 63.2%.Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed that the probability of HFNC treatment failure predicted by this model was close to the actual probability(
χ2=12.354,
P=0.136).After validating with external data, it showed that the sensitivity was 82.1%, the specificity was 85.7%and the overall accuracy was 84.7%.
Conclusion:Fever, APACHEⅡscore, BNP, TnI, RR and ROX index after 1 hour of treatment are all influencing factors for treatment failure of HFNC in patients.Therefore, the predictive efficacy of this risk prediction model is good.
