Association between stress hyperglycemia ratio and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with atrial fibrillation: insights from a MIMIC-IV study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) has emerged as a potential prognostic indicator for various critical illnesses. However, its role in determining outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) within the intensive care unit (ICU) remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the association between SHR and all-cause mortality in this clinical setting.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study utilizing data from a large, retrospective database. Critically ill patients with documented AF were stratified based on quartiles of SHR. The primary outcome was 365-day all-cause mortality, with secondary outcomes including 90-day and 28-day mortality. COX proportional hazards models adjusted for confounders and Kaplan-Meier curve analyses were used to expl
