Mixed Shock Complicating Cardiogenic Shock: Frequency, Predictors, and Clinical Outcomes

Circ Heart FailPublished Cohort study

Authors' conclusion

MS complicating CS, objectively defined leveraging on longitudinal changes in distributive and inflammatory features, occurs in one-fourth of patients with CS, is predicted by markers of CS severity and inflammation at CS diagnosis, and portends higher hospital mortality.

Outcome
Frequency, predictors and prognostic relevance of MS complicating CS
Methodological details2 cardiac ICUs, consecutive patients
  • 2 cardiac ICUs

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Frequency of MS complicating CS · after 120 (29-216) hours from CS diagnosis

Mixed shock (MS)

24.5%

Independent predictors of MS at cardiogenic shock (CS) diagnosis: lower SBP
P = 0.043
Independent predictor: hepatic injury
P = 0.049
Independent predictor: suspected/definite infection
P = 0.013

Observational data: associations, not effects.
