Prognostic value of serum phosphate levels in sepsis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There remain controversies over the conclusion of different serum phosphate levels as prognostic predictors of sepsis patients. As such, this study investigated the association between different serum phosphate and the prognosis of sepsis.

Methods

Data from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were systematically retrieved from the inception of databases to June 1, 2023 and independently screened and extracted by two authors.
