Association between lactate/albumin ratio and 28-day all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early identification of high-risk patients is crucial for timely interventions and improved outcomes. The lactate/albumin ratio (LAR) has been suggest as a significant correlate for assessing the risk of mortality in critically ill patients. This study aimed to utilize the American eICU Collaborative Research Database to explore the association between baseline LAR and all-cause mortality within 28 days in ICU of critically ill patients diagnosed with AMI. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 989 AMI patients from the eICU Collaborative Research Database. Patients were included based on ICD-9 code 410 and the universal definition of AMI. LAR was calculated as the ratio of baseline lactate to
