Advanced Echocardiographic Assessment Predicts 1-Year Mortality in Critically Ill Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Authors' conclusion
In critically ill PAH patients, echocardiographic markers were independently associated with mortality.
Study context
- Population
- Critically ill patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) admitted to the ICU, January 2010 to December 202077 with adequate echocardiograms
- Participants
- 102 patients
- Outcome
- In-hospital and 1-year mortality
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Random survival forest (RSF) model (tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), LV diastolic filling parameters, LV end-diastolic volume, fractional area change/PASP) time-varying AUC
0.84
Observational data: associations, not effects.
