BackgroundTo evaluate the association of coagulation disorder score with the risk of in-hospital mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients.MethodsIn this cohort study, 7,001 adult patients with ARDS were identified from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care Database-IV (MIMIC-IV). Univariate and multivariate Logistic stepwise regression models were used to explore the associations of coagulation-associated biomarkers with the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with ADRS. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was plotted to explore the association between coagulation disorder score and in-hospital mortality of ARDS patients.ResultsThe follow-up time for in-hospital death was 7.15 (4.62, 13.88) days. There were 1,187 patients died and 5,814 people survived in hospital. After adjusting for confounding factors, increased risk of in-hospital mortality in ARDS patients was observed in those with median coagulation disorder score [odds ratio (OR) = 1.22, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-1.47) and high coagulation disorder score (OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.06-1.80). The results of RCS indicated that when the coagulation disorder score >2, the trend of in-hospital mortality rose gradually, and OR was >1.ConclusionsPoor coagulation function was associated with increased risk of in-hospital mortality in ARDS patients. The findings implied that clinicians should regularly detect the levels of coagulation-associated biomarkers for the management of ARDS patients.Copyright © 2024 Southern Society for Clinical Investigation.
