Background: Histor of coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or valvular replacement (VR) are prevalent among patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). The impact of these conditions on outcomes in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains insufficiently explored.
Methods: We performed a retrospective study on prospectively collected data from patients with ARDS and a PaO/FiO ratio ≤150 mmHg. Patients were admitted between January 2006 and March 2022. We used multivariable logistic regression analysis. The primary outcome was 1-year mortality from admission to the ICU; secondary outcomes included mortality at 28 days and 90 days.
Results: Among 1.033 patients, 181 (17.5 %) had a history of CAD and/or AF and/or VR. History of CAD and/or AF and/or VR was independently associated with 1-year mortality (Odds-Ratio (OR) = 2.59, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.76-3.82, p < 0.001), with mortality at 90 days (OR = 1.87, 95 % CI 1.27-2.76, p = 0.001), but not with mortality at 28 days (OR = 1.40, 95 % CI 0.93-2.11, p = 0.10). In sensitivity analyses, history of CAD and/or AF and/or VR remained independently associated with 1-year mortality in ICU survivors (OR = 3.58, 95 % CI = 2.41-7.82, p < 0.001).
Conclusions: History of CAD and/or AF and/or VR was associated with mortality in ARDS. Prompt referral to cardiologists for comprehensive management post-ICU discharge may be warranted to optimize outcomes in this vulnerable population.
