Low lymphocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio predicts mortality in sepsis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The lymphocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (LHR) is associated with both inflammation and immunity, and may have the potential to predict the prognosis of sepsis. Our study aimed to evaluate the relationship between LHR and sepsis-related mortality.

Methods

We collected data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV, version 2.2) database by targeting patients who met the Sepsis-3 criteria and recorded the absolute values of lymphocytes and HDL after admission. We then used restricted cubic splines based on logistic regression to simulate the relationship between the LHR and 90-day mortality. Subsequently, the hazardous threshold was derived based on the mortality curve, and further evaluations were performed using different met
