Risk factors for prolonged ICU duration after surgery in patients with infective endocarditis and construction of a nomogram model
To investigate the risk factors for prolonged ICU duration after surgery in patients with infective endocarditis (IE) and to construct a nomogram model.
Methods
2
A total of 210 patients with IE who underwent surgery in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgeryat our hospital from February 2023 to February 2025 were retrospectively included and divided into the non‑prolonged group (≤72 hours,151 cases) and the prolonged group (>72 hours,59 cases) based on whether their ICU duration exceeded 72 hours after surgery.Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the independent risk factors for prolonged ICU duration after surgery in patients with IE. A nomogram model was constructed based on the identified risk factors, and the predictive accuracy of the model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA).
Results
2
Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
<
60%, use of intra‑aortic balloon pump (IABP), mechanical ventilation duration
>
24 hours, elevated creatinine level, and embolism were the independent risk factors for prolonged ICU duration after surgery in patients with IE.The area under the curve (AUC) of the nomogram model was 0.985 (95%
CI
:0.965 to 1.000),with a sensitivity of 0.971 and a specificit
y of 0.955.The calibration curve showed high consistency between the predicted and actual probabilities.DCA indicated that the model had high clinical utility in predicting prolonged ICU duration after surgery in patients with IE.
Conclusion
2
Preoperative LVEF < 60%, use of IABP, mechanical ventilation duration > 24 hours, elevated creatinine level, and embolism were the independent risk factors for prolonged ICU duration after surgery in patients with IE, and the nomogram model constructed based on these factors demonstrated high predictive value.
