Prognostic value of blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio for acute kidney injury and in-hospital mortality in intensive care unit patients with intracerebral haemorrhage: a retrospective cohort study using the MIMIC-IV database.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We sought to evaluate the prognostic ability of blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio (BAR) for acute kidney injury (AKI) and in-hospital mortality in patients with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in intensive care unit (ICU).

Design

A retrospective cohort study using propensity score matching.

Setting

ICU of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

Participants

The data of patients with ICH were obtained from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (V.1.0) database. A total of 1510 patients with ICH were enrolled in our study.

Main outcome and measure

The optimal threshold value of BAR is determined by the means of X-tile software (V.3.6.1) and the crude cohort was categorised into two groups on the foundation of the optimal cut-o
