Association Between Albumin‐Corrected Anion Gap and Mortality in ICU Patients With Acute Heart Failure: A MIMIC‐IV Cohort Study
Key Points
This research aims to investigate the relationship between albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) levels and mortality in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) in the ICU.
Analyzed data from the MIMIC-IV database
Examined ACAG levels and their association with mortality
Used statistical methods to assess correlations
Found a significant association between higher ACAG levels and increased all-cause mortality
Identified ACAG as a potential prognostic marker for ICU patients with AHF
Abstract
ACAG levels were associated with all-cause mortality in patients with AHF. Thus, ACAG may serve as a valuable prognostic marker for this patient population.
