Positive association between sodium-to-chloride ratio and in-hospital mortality of acute heart failure.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have suggested that levels of sodium and chloride in the blood may be indicative of the prognosis of different medical conditions. Nevertheless, the assessment of the prognostic significance of the sodium-to-chloride (Na/Cl) ratio in relation to in-hospital mortality among individuals suffering from acute heart failure (AHF) remains unexplored. In this study, the participants were selected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database and divided into three groups based on the Na/Cl ratio level upon admission. The primary results were the mortality rate within the hospital. Cox regression, Kaplan-Meier curves, receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and subgroup analyses were utilized to investigate the correlation between the admission Na/
