The relationship between albumin corrected anion gap levels and mortality in patients with asthma in the ICU.

ABSTRACT: Although previous studies have suggested that albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) may be a predictor of mortality in critically ill patients in intensive care unit (ICU), its utility in the context of asthma has not been definitively established. In this study, baseline data, albumin concentration, anion gap (AG) and 30-d mortality data were retrieved from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database (MIMIC-IV) for patients with asthma in the intensive care unit. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to analyze the predictive ability of ACAG and AG. The risk of 30-day mortality among patients with ACAG and asthma was analyzed using a restricted cubic spline (RCS) plot. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical usefulness of ACAG
