Overview

Retrospective cohort study finds that thiamine supplementation reduces mortality in ICU patients with sepsis-associated delirium, suggesting beneficial implications.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the association between thiamine supplementation and 30-day mortality in ICU patients diagnosed with sepsis-associated delirium.
  • Conducted a retrospective cohort study using the MIMIC-IV database.
  • Included adult ICU patients meeting Sepsis-3 criteria diagnosed with delirium.
  • Categorized patients based on thiamine supplementation during ICU admission.
  • Employed propensity score methods for balancing baseline covariates.
  • Performed survival, subgroup, and sensitivity analyses, including duration–response and dose–response evaluations.
  • Thirty-day mortality was significantly lower in patients receiving thiamine (P < 0.001).
  • Thiamine use was associated with improved survival (HR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.33–0.79; P = 0.002).
  • Consistent results across various propensity score analyses confirmed the survival benefit of thiamine supplementation.
  • Subgroup analyses indicated significant survival benefits for patients with SOFA scores < 4.
  • Duration-response and dose-response analyses suggested better outcomes with longer treatment duration and lower daily doses.
