Predictive Mortality of the Prognostic Nutritional Index Combined with APACHE II Score for Critically Ill Tuberculosis Patients.

ABSTRACT: High mortality rates are commonly found in critically ill patients with tuberculosis (TB), which is due partially to limitations in the existing prognostic evaluation methods. Therefore, we aimed to find more effective prognostic evaluation tools to reduce the mortality rate. Data from critically ill patients with TB admitted to the intensive care unit of The Second Hospital of Nanjing, Nanjing, China, between January 2020 and December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 115 patients were enrolled and divided into a survival group (n = 62) and a death group (n = 53) according to 30-day survival. Univariate and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analyses were used to investigate the risk factors for 30-day death in critically ill patients with TB.
