INTRODUCTION: Comorbidities are thought to have prognostic impact on outcomes of patients submitted to noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Our goal was to determine if age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) could predict outcomes in patients undergoing NIV due to acute respiratory failure.

METHODS: Patients in respiratory failure submitted to NIV were prospective evaluated comparing patient's characteristics and outcomes according to ACCI≤median vs. ACCI>median. Each comorbidity composing the index was tested as predictor of NIV failure and readmission/mortality risk at 30 and 90 days, using logistic regression analysis. NIV failure was defined as need for invasive mechanical ventilation and/or death.

RESULTS: 177 patients were enrolled. Median ACCI score was 5 points. Comparing patients with ACCI>5 with ACCI≤5, the former group was older but APACHE II was similar. Time to first NIV disconnection was inferior for ACCI>5 patients (OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.23-0.89, p=0.021), after gender and age adjustment. No differences were found in length of stay, time on NIV, NIV complications or failure, and 30 and 90-day hospital readmission or death, before and after adjustment. None of the single comorbidities was predictive of NIV failure and readmission risk, when adjusted to sex and age.

CONCLUSION: ACCI is not a good predictor for short and medium-term outcomes in patients submitted to NIV.
