Association between albumin corrected anion gap and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury: a retrospective study based on MIMIC-IV database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The early identification of patients at high risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) with a poor prognosis is crucial to prevent complications and minimize mortality. This study sought to investigate the association between albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) and all-cause mortality among critically ill patients with AKI.

Methods

All eligible AKI patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV version 2.0) database were considered for participation in this study. We employed Kaplan-Meier curves to assess the 30-d and 360-d cumulative survival rates among various groups. Flexibly visualizing the connection between ACAG and mortality, we utilize restricted cubic splines (RCS) and multivariate Cox regression models. Result robustness underwent as
