This study aimed to investigate the types of acid-base disorders in critically ill patients at the time of admission to the ICU and their association with ICU and in-hospital mortality. The results showed that acid-base disorders were not associated with ICU or in-hospital death. Male sex, APACHE II score, and corrected anion gap were identified as predictors of in-hospital death.
Introduction: acid-base disorders are very common in critically ill patients and contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to identify the types of acid-base disorders at the time of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and its associated ICU and in-hospital mortality. Methods: we conducted a retrospective cohort study of all adult patients that were admitted to the ICU and had an arterial blood gas sample at the time of admission from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019. Using the traditional approach, acid-base disorders were categorised into six disorders. Variables predicting in-hospital death were identified using logistic regression. Results: a total of 375 patients were included. The median age for the entire cohort was 39 (IQR 30??? 52) years and 48.3% (n=181) were female. Mixed acid-base disorders were the most common at 48.8% (n=183), followed by no disorder at 24.8% (n=93), metabolic acidosis at 9.3% (n=35), metabolic alkalosis at 6.7% (n=25), respiratory acidosis 6.1% (n=23) and respiratory alkalosis at 4.3% (n=16). A total of 94 (25.0%) patients died. There were no differences in ICU (p = 0.35) or in -hospital death (p = 0.32) by acid-base disorder. Male sex (aOR: 5.8, 95% CI 1.55-21.42; p < 0.01), APACHE II score (aOR: 1.17, 95% CI 1.06-1.30; p < 0.01) and the corrected anion gap (aOR: 1.14, 95% CI 1.02-1.27; p = 0.02) were identified as predictors of in-hospital death using multivariable logistic regression. Conclusion: there was no association between acid-base disorders at the time of ICU admission and ICU or in-hospital death. Therefore, in our setting, acid-base disorders at the time of ICU admission should not be used to predict the outcome of patients requiring intensive care.
