Association between serum calcium and in-hospital mortality in intensive care unit patients with cerebral infarction: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between serum calcium levels and the prognosis of cerebral infarction remains controversial.

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the correlation between serum calcium levels and in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with ischemic stroke admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the MIMIC-IV database. Demographic and clinical data of all participants were collected including gender, age, hypertension, diabetes, myocardial infarction, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hemoglobin, potassium, sodium, anion gap, platelets, white blood cells, glucose, creatinine, Glasgow coma score (GCS), IV-tPA administration (rt-PA), and mechanical thrombectomy
