Serum calcium is associated with sudden cardiac arrest in stroke patients from ICU: a multicenter retrospective study based on the eICU collaborative research database.

ABSTRACT: This primary objective of our study was to investigate the relationship between serum calcium levels and the occurrence of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in stroke patients. We analyzed the clinical data of 10,423 acute stroke patients admitted to the intensive care unit. The association between serum calcium and SCA following an acute stroke was assessed through multivariate logistic regression. We explored the non-linear connection between serum calcium levels and SCA in stroke patients using a generalized additive model and smooth curve fitting. Our study uncovered that serum calcium serves as an independent risk factor for sudden cardiac arrest in stroke patients. Notably, we observed that the relationship between serum calcium levels upon admission and the occurrence of SCA in stroke pat
