Nonlinear relationship between Hemoglobin-to-Age Ratio and all-cause mortality in patients with septic shock: A retrospective cohort study in the MIMIC-IV database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have shown that both age and hemoglobin are closely associated with the prognosis of septic shock. A recent study found that hemoglobin may change with age. Hemoglobin-to-Age Ratio (HAR) takes both age and hemoglobin into consideration as essential factors. So far, the effect of HAR on the prognosis of septic shock is still unclear. This research aimed to investigate the association between the HAR and the prognosis of patients with septic shock.

Methods

Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, restricted cubic spline, Kaplan-Meier survivor analysis and stratified interaction analysis were used to elucidate the relationship between the HAR and prognosis of patients with septic shock.

Results

There is a nonlinear association between the
