The relationship between high-dose
corticosteroid treatment and mortality
in
acute respiratory distress syndrome: a
retrospective and observational study
using
a nationwide administrative database
in Japan
Kido et al. BMC Pulmonary Medicine (2018) 18:28
Introduction
 Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a
critical respiratory syndrome, with no
pharmacotherapies been shown effective in
improving the mortality rate
 Systemic inflammatory response -> associated with
the development of ARDS -> anti-inflammatory
corticosteroid treatment -> logical choice for ARDS
 According to previous studies and meta-analyses =
“the efficacy of corticosteroids in ARDS is still
controversial”
Methods
a. Data source
 The Japanese nationwide administrative
database: the diagnostic procedure combination
(DPC)
 Conducted according to guidelines by Declaration
of Helsinki
 Approved by Ethics Committee of Medical
Research, University of Occupational and
Environmental Health, Japan
Methods
b. Patient selection
 Inclusion =
 Patients who were diagnosed with ARDS, ICD-10
code J80
 Pneumonia at admission and discharged within
2012
 Exclusion =
 Patients discharged and died within 7 days of
hospitalization
 Did not receive mechanical ventilation
Methods
c. Statistical analyses
 The high-dose corticosteroid group = methylprednisolone >
500 mg/day for > 1 day within 7 days of admission
 The primary outcome = mortality
 The secondary outcome = duration of the mechanical
ventilation and the duration of ICU stay within the 28 days
after admission
 Propensity score weighting with a Cox proportional hazards
model, calculated using a logistic model with baseline
variables that potentially influenced the use of high-dose
corticosteroid
 Performed with IBM SPSS 22.0. 95% (CI) were estimated,
with differences of P < 0.05
Results
Results
Results
Discussion
 ARDS is relatively rare and clinically severe; Several
limitations in study were
 First, this study was observational and retrospective
 Second, after adjustment -> significant differences in the
characteristics of the high-dose and non-high-dose
corticosteroid groups
 Third, unable to include several clinical data
 Fourth, the ARDS diagnostic criteria have changed over the
years
 The major advantages = inclusion large number of
patients and evaluation of the effect of high-dose
corticosteroid in this era
Discussion
 No pharmacotherapies have beneficial effects on
the outcomes of patients and efficacy of
corticosteroids is still controversial
 The mortality -> significantly worse in patients
who received high-dose corticosteroid treatment
 Duration of mechanical ventilation usage and the
duration of the ICU stay -> no difference
Discussion
 High dose corticosteroid therapy = 30 mg/kg of
body weight of methylprednisolone /6 hour for 24
hour
 Bernard et al= not improve the mortality of
patients
 Yang et al= did not improve the mortality
 Takaki et al= increased the mortality compared to
low-dose treatment
Discussion
 Weigelt et al. = not prevent patients with
respiratory failure from developing ARDS and
increase the risk of infectious complications
 Takaki et al. = exacerbate infectious diseases or
increased infectious complications
 Other studies who study lower dosages of
corticosteroids and use different protocols =
shown the effects on shortening the duration of
mechanical ventilation usage and ICU stay
Summary
 This observed a higher mortality with the
administration of high-dose corticosteroids
within 7 days of hospital admission in patients
with ARDS than without the administration of
such agents.
 This used a nationwide administrative
database, making this the largest study to
observe high-dose corticosteroid treatment for
ARDS, to our knowledge.
 However, this study has some limitations owing
to its retrospective and observational design.

Analisis skor kecenderungan (propensity score) merupakan metode penyesuaian
statistik yang dapat digunakan untuk menganalisis data dari desain penelitian non-
eksperimental dan quasi-eksperimental dimana desain pemberian perlakuan melalui
pengacakan untuk kelompok perlakuan atau kontrol, tidak mungkin dilakukan.
Peneliti dapat menggunakan skor kecenderungan untuk statistik menyeimbangkan atau
menyamakan kelompok subjek penelitian sehingga dapat mengurangi bias akibat
pemberian perlakuan yang tidak acak dapat direduksi.

Editor's Notes

  1. Recent advances in treatment strategies, such as protective mechanical ventilation techniques, have improved the mortality of patients with ARDS, ; according to systematic reviews, mortalities due to ARDS were as high as 43 and 44% in 2008 and 2009, respectively 2. Meta-analyses have indicated the poor effectiveness of corticosteroids, difficulties in confirming the role of corticosteroids in ARDS, and dosage of corticosteroids for the treatment 3. because, ; while some reports have shown improvement in the mortality, others have not

  3. b. 2. if the duration of administration was too short, the effect of high-dose corticosteroid on ARDS could not be analyzed properly, and the use of mechanical ventilation is necessary for the diagnosis according to the criteria of ARDS [19, 20].
  4. c.4. Propensity score weighting has recently been used in observational studies to assess the effect of treatment after adjusting for baseline characteristics in order to minimize the drawbacks associated with the propensity score matching method, such as sampling biases and loss of sample numbers. c.4. including patients’ sex and age, hospital volume, sepsis, cancer, pneumonia, pancreatitis, lung and abdominal trauma, liver dysfunction, hemodialysis, neurological dysfunction, shock, use of antithrombin III, recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin, heparin, synthetic protease inhibitors and sivelestat, platelet and red cell transfusions, albumin and immunoglobulin administration, and mechanical ventilation status.
  5. 1. Before adjustment, patient’s baseline variables were significantly different between the high-dose and non-high-dose corticosteroid groups. After adjusting for confounders using the IPTW method, patient baseline characteristics between the two groups were similar across these variables, although pneumonia, pancreatitis, lung and abdominal trauma, neurological dysfunction, and insulin were still significantly different between the groups.
  6. In the propensity score-weighted Cox proportional hazards model, the mortality was significantly lower in the high-dose corticosteroid group than in the non-high-dose corticosteroid group (weighted HR: 1.59; 95% CI: 1.37-1.84; P < 0.001; Fig. 2
  7. limitasi 1. Banyak bias, however, our application of propensity score weighting with a Cox proportional hazards model reduced the effects of this limitation. 2. Such as in the rates of pneumonia, pancreatitis, lung and abdominal trauma, neurological dysfunction and insulin. However, after adjusting for confounders, the differences between the two groups were small. For example, the frequency of neurological dysfunction in the high-dose corticosteroid and nonhigh- dose corticosteroid groups were 10.6% versus 22.5%, respectively, before adjustment, and 21.8% versus 18.8% after adjustment. While this remains one of the limitations of the present study, we consider these differences to be relatively small 3. such as the peripheral blood laboratory findings, radiological findings, physiological data, including vital signs, and mechanical ventilation settings, which could also influence the mortality in patients with ARDS. 4. So it was unclear which criteria had been used to diagnose ARDS in each patient in this retrospective study.
