The association of serum albumin with 28 day mortality in critically ill patients undergoing dialysis: a secondary analysis based on the eICU collaborative research database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between serum albumin and prognosis in critically ill patients has been studied, however, there is a paucity of exploration into non-linear relationships, particularly in critically ill patients undergoing dialysis. This study intends to investigate the association between serum albumin (ALB) and 28 day mortality in critically ill patients undergoing dialysis.

Methods

We conducted a multi-center retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing dialysis by utilising data from the eICU Collaborative Research Database from 208 distinct ICUs across the United States between 2014 and 2015. The study focused on mortality within 28 days of ICU admission. We employed univariate analysis, multi-factor logistic regression, subgroup analysis, curve-fitting,
