Prognostic value of anion gap for patients with heart failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heart failure (HF) is among the cardiovascular diseases with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Due to the high burden of HF, finding easy-to-use prognostic factors has become important. Studies have investigated the correlation between anion gap (AG) and the HF prognosis. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the association between AG association with HF prognosis.

Methods

PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and the Web of Science were systematically searched for studies evaluating AG in HF prognosis. Standardized mean difference (SMD) and pooled hazard ratio (HR) in addition to 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random-effect meta-analyses to compare survivors vs. non-survivors.

Results

Nine studies were included in
