Evaluating the Prognostic Nutritional Index, Naples Prognostic Score, and Osaka Prognostic Score for Predicting Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Non-Diabetic Sepsis Patients: Diminished Predictive Value in Diabetic Populations
To explore the value of prognostic scoring indices (PNI, NPS, OPS) in predicting ARDS risk among sepsis patients, with a specific focus on comparing outcomes between those with and without diabetes mellitus.
Key Findings:
Lower PNI levels in ARDS patients compared to non-ARDS patients (p < 0.001).
Higher proportions of NPS scores of 3 or 4 and OPS scores of 2 or 3 in ARDS patients (p < 0.001).
Significantly lower proportion of diabetes mellitus in the ARDS group (p = 0.030).
In non-diabetes mellitus patients, low PNI, NPS score 3-4, and OPS score 2-3 were independently associated with ARDS.
In diabetes mellitus patients, only low PNI was associated with ARDS; NPS and OPS were not statistically significant.
Interpretation:
PNI, NPS, and OPS are effective predictive indicators for ARDS risk in non-diabetic sepsis patients, but their predictive value diminishes in diabetic populations, indicating a need for alternative assessment strategies.
Limitations:
Retrospective design may introduce selection bias.
Findings may not be generalizable to all sepsis patients or other populations.
Conclusion:
While PNI, NPS, and OPS are valuable for predicting ARDS in non-diabetic sepsis patients, they lack predictive efficacy in those with diabetes mellitus.
