Decoding cardiogenic shock: assessing shock index and its variants as prognostic indicators for in-hospital mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is associated with high in-hospital mortality. Objective assessment of its severity and prognosis is paramount for timely therapeutic interventions. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the shock index (SI) and its variants as prognostic indicators for in-hospital mortality.

Methods

A retrospective study involving 1282 CS patients were evaluated. Baseline patient characteristics, clinical trajectory, hospital outcomes, and shock indices were collected and analysed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were employed to determine the predictive accuracy of shock indices in predicting in-hospital mortality.

Results

Of those evaluated, 866 (67.6%) survived until discharge. Non-survivors were older (66.0 ± 13.7 vs. 57.4 ±
