Association Between the Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) Score and All-cause Mortality Risk in Intensive Care Unit Patients with Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score has demonstrated prognostic value in a range for liver and heart diseases. However, its association with all-cause mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with heart failure remains uncertain.

Objective

This study sought to investigate the relationship between the ALBI score and the risk of all-cause mortality in ICU patients with heart failure.

Methods and results

The ICU patients diagnosed with heart failure were selected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database (MIMIC-IV, version 2.2) and stratified into tertiles according to their ALBI scores. The primary outcome of interest was the occurrence of all-cause mortality within 365 days post-discharge. The analysis encompassed a cohort of 4,2
