Initial 24-h perfusion index of ICU admission is associated with acute kidney injury in perioperative critically ill patients: A retrospective cohort analysis

Background: The relationship between perfusion index (PI) and organ dysfunction in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is not clear. This study aimed to explore the relationship between PI and renal function in the perioperative critical care setting and evaluate the predictive efficiency of P...

description Background: The relationship between perfusion index (PI) and organ dysfunction in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is not clear. This study aimed to explore the relationship between PI and renal function in the perioperative critical care setting and evaluate the predictive efficiency of PI on patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) in the ICU. Methods: This retrospective analysis involved 12,979 patients who had undergone an operation and were admitted to the ICU in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2014 to December 2019. The distribution of average PI in the first 24 h after ICU admission and its correlation with AKI was calculated by Cox regression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to compare the ability of PI, mean arterial pressure (MAP), creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and central venous pressure (CVP) to discriminate AKI in the first 48 h in all perioperative critically ill patients. Results: Average PI in the first 24 h served as an independent protective factor of AKI (Odds ratio [OR]=0.786, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.704–0.873, P <0.0001). With a decrease in PI by one unit, the incidence of AKI increased 1.74 times. Among the variables explored for the prediction of AKI (PI, MAP, creatine, BUN, and CVP), PI yielded the highest area under the ROC curve, with a sensitivity of 64.34% and specificity of 70.14%. A cut-off value of PI ≤2.12 could be used to predict AKI according to the Youden index. Moreover, patients in the low PI group (PI ≤2.12) exhibited a marked creatine elevation at 24–48 h with a slower decrease compared with those in the high PI group (PI >2.12). Conclusions: As a local blood flow indicator, the initial 24-h average PI for perioperative critically ill patients can predict AKI during their first 120 h in the ICU.
