Development and validation of a prediction model for the risk of citrate accumulation in critically ill patients with citrate anticoagulation for continuous renal replacement therapy: a retrospective cohort study based on MIMIC-IV database

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome, especially in the intensive care unit (ICU), with an incidence of more than 50% and in-hospital mortality of 30%. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is an important supportive treatment for patients with AKI (Patel...

description Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome, especially in the intensive care unit (ICU), with an incidence of more than 50% and in-hospital mortality of 30%. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is an important supportive treatment for patients with AKI (Patel in Trauma Surg Acute Care Open e001381, 2024). Citrate is the preferred anticoagulant for critically ill patients requiring CRRT. Unfortunately, such patients may be confronted with citrate accumulation during citrate anticoagulation. Methods The MIMIC-IV2.2 database was used to extract data of patients undergoing CRRT who opted for citrate anticoagulation during ICU admission, including 883 critically ill patients. These 883 patients were randomized into training (n = 618) and Internal validation (n = 265) groups at a ratio of 7:3. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator(LASSO)-logistic regression was utilized to screen the variables and construct the prediction model, followed by the plotting of the nomogram. Then, Utilizing the retrospective data from the ICU at Jiangbei Hospital in Nanjing, China, from 2014 to 2024 (n = 200) for external model validation, the model was evaluated with discriminant analysis, calibration curves, decision curve analysis, and rationality analysis. Results A total of 883 critically ill patients undergoing CRRT were included, consisting of 542 males and 341 females, with a mean age of 65 ± 14 years. Additionally, there were 618 patients in the training set and 265 in the validation set. A total of 47 independent variables were obtained, among which 15 independent variables were screened with LASSO regression and included in the multivariate logistic analysis. The five risk factors ultimately included in the prediction model were height, hepatic insufficiency, mechanical ventilation, prefilter replacement rate, and albumin. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of the model was 0.758 (0.701–0.816), 0.747 (0.678–0.817), and 0.714 (0.632–0.810) for the training set, internal validation set, and external validation set, respectively. The calibration curves in the training set and internal/external validation sets showed a high degree of consistency between predicted values and observed values (according to the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, the P-values were 0.7673, 0.2401, and 0.4512 for the training set, internal validation set, and external validation set, respectively). In addition, the Decision-Curve(DCA) revealed that the model had good clinical applicability. Nomo-score comparisons exhibited the rationality of the model. Conclusion The model developed based on LASSO-logistic regression can reliably predict the risk of citrate accumulation in critically ill patients with citrate anticoagulation for CRRT, providing valuable guidance for the application of early measures to prevent the occurrence of citrate accumulation and to improve the prognosis of patients.
