Résumé

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the association between the use of early echocardiography performed by the treating physician certified in critical care ultrasound and mortality in ICU patients. Materials and methods: FROG-ICU was a multi-center cohort designed to investigate the outcome of critically ill patients. Of the 1359 patients admitted to centers where echocardiography was available, 372 patients underwent echocardiography during the initial 3 days. Results: Of the ICU patients admitted for cardiac disease, 47.4% underwent echocardiography, and those patients had the lowest left ventricular ejection fraction 40 [31-58] % and the lowest cardiac output 4.2 [3.2-5.7] L/min compared to patients admitted for other causes (p < 0.001 for both). One-year mortality was 36.8% and 39.9% in patients with and without echocardiography, respectively [HR 0.92 (95% CI 0.75-1.11)]. This result was confirmed after multivariable Cox regression analysis [HR 0.88 (95% CI 0.71-1.08)]. Subgroup analyses suggest that among patients admitted to ICU for cardiac disease, those managed with echocardiography had a lower risk of one-year mortality [HR 0.65 (95% CI 0.43-0.98)]. Conclusions: Early echocardiography by treating physicians was not associated with short- or long-term survival in ICU patients. In subgroups, early echocardiography improved survival in ICU patients admitted for cardiac disease.
