Abstract

Introduction/Objectives

Acute kidney injury (AKI) and malnutrition are two complications commonly reported in severe forms of COVID-19, their combined effect on short-term mortality is, however, not yet investigated. The objective of this study is to determine both their individual and combined effects on short-term prognosis.

Materials and methods

This is a prospective, uni-centric study, including 247 severe COVID-19 patients, admitted between April 25th and June 20th, 2020, at the University Hospital of Blida. AKI was defined according to the KDIGO-2012 guidelines. Nutritional status was assessed using the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score. The association with in-hospital mortality was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method and proportional Cox regression.

Results

Among the 247 severely affected COVID-19 patients included in this study, 34.4% developed AKI, 30.4 and 1.2%, respectively, had moderate and severe CONUT scores, 17.7% worsened and progressed to a critical state and 26.7% did not survive. Both AKI and CONUT score were significantly associated with mortality in a dose-response manner (pLog-Rank<0.0001). Their relative risks are respectively (HR=3.25 CI 95% [1.99–5.3] and HR=2.42 CI 95% [1.5–3.9], p<0.0001). In multivariate analysis, the highest risk was observed for the AKI-CONUT-high combination (HR=3.0, 95% CI [1.5–6.1], p=0.002).

Conclusion

A possible synergistic interaction between AKI and CONUT score for COVID-19 short-term mortality has been highlighted. Monitoring of renal function associated with assessment of nutritional status should be performed routinely and systematically from the early stages of admission.

Résumé

Introduction/objectifs

L’insuffisance rénale aiguë (AKI) et la dénutrition sont deux complications fréquemment retrouvées dans les formes sévères de la Covid-19. L’objectif de cette étude est de déterminer leurs impacts individuels et combinés sur le pronostic à court terme.

Matériel et méthodes

Il s’agit d’une étude prospective, uni-centrique, incluant 247 cas sévères de Covid-19, admis entre le 25 avril et le 20 juin 2020, au niveau de l’hôpital universitaire de Blida. L’AKI a été définie en suivant les recommandations de la KDIGO-2012. L’état nutritionnel a été évalué en utilisant le score « Controlling Nutritional Status » (CONUT). L’association avec la mortalité en milieu hospitalier a été évaluée par la méthode de Kaplan-Meier et la régression proportionnelle de Cox.

Résultats

L’incidence de l’AKI était de 34,4 %, 50% avaient une dénutrition modérée à sévère. L’AKI et le score CONUT étaient significativement associés à la mortalité d’une manière dose à effet (pLog-Rank<0,0001). Leurs risques relatifs étaient respectivement (HR=3,25 CI 95 % [1,99–5,3] et HR=2,42 CI 95 % [1,5–3,9], p<0,0001). En analyse multivariée, le risque le plus élevé est observé pour la combinaison AKI-CONUT-high (HR=3,0, CI 95% [1,5–6,1], p=0,002).

Conclusion

Une interaction de type synergétique a été mise en évidence entre l’AKI et le score CONUT pour la mortalité à court terme due à la Covid-19. La surveillance de la fonction rénale associée à l’évaluation de l’état nutritionnel devrait être effectuée systématiquement dès les premiers stades d’admission.
