The association between serum phosphate and length of hospital stay and all-cause mortality in adult patients: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data is limited on the prevalence of hypophosphatemia in general hospitalized patients, and its association with length of hospital stay (LOS) and mortality remained unclear. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of admission phosphate abnormality and the association between serum phosphate level and length of hospital stay and all-cause mortality in adult patients.

Methods

This was a multi-center retrospective study based on real-world data. Participants were classified into five groups according to serum phosphate level (inorganic phosphorus, iP) within 48 h after admission: G1, iP < 0.64 mmol/L; G2, iP 0.64-0.8 mmol/L; G3, iP 0.8-1.16 mmol/L; G4, iP 1.16-1.45 mmol/L; and G5, iP ≥ 1.45 mmol/L, respectively. Both LOS and in-hospital mortality were considered as
