AbstractHemodynamic management is crucial in patients with acute pancreatitis. Central venous pressure (CVP) is widely used to assess volume status. Our aim was to determine the optimal time window for obtaining CVP measurements to prevent adverse outcomes in patients. This study utilized data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) IV database. The primary outcome under investigation was the 28-day mortality, while secondary outcomes included 90-day mortality and 1-year mortality. To categorize the study population, a CVP waiting time of 12 hours was employed as the grouping criterion, followed by the utilization of Cox regression analysis to compare the outcomes between the 2 groups. Our study included a total of 233 patients, among whom 154 cases (66.1%) underwent CVP measurements within 12 hours after admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed a significantly increased risk of 28-day mortality in patients from the delayed CVP monitoring group compared to those who underwent early CVP measurements (HR = 2.87; 95% CI: 1.35-6.13; P = .006). Additionally, consistent results were observed for the risks of 90-day mortality (HR = 1.91; 95% CI: 1.09-3.35; P = .023) and 1-year mortality (HR = 1.84; 95% CI: 1.09-3.10; P = .023). In the ICU, an extended waiting time for CVP measurements in patients with acute pancreatitis was associated with an increased risk of 28-day mortality.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s).
