Association between albumin corrected anion gap and in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) and in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with COPD remains unclear.

Objective

This study investigated the association between ACAG levels and the risk of in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with COPD.

Design

A retrospective cohort study.

Methods

This study uses data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) database. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal threshold for ACAG, and participants were divided into two categories based on this threshold. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. We employed univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival curves
