Association between lactate/albumin ratio and 28-day mortality in ICU critical patients with coronary heart disease: a retrospective analysis of the MIMIC-IV database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The serum lactate/albumin ratio (LAR) is commonly employed for monitoring and evaluating the prognosis of critically ill patients. Both elevated lactate levels and decreased albumin levels may reflect the body's stress response and inflammatory reaction. Coronary heart disease (CHD), with common complications including myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, heart failure, is one of the leading causes of global death. Therefore, it is crucial to explore biomarkers that can predict the prognosis and mortality of CHD patients.

Methods

This is a retrospective study in which the data is from the MIMIC-IV database. Our study assessed the association between LAR value and mortality within 28 days of admission in a total of 1,902 CHD patients from the Beth Israel Deaconess Me
