Stress hyperglycemia ratio as an important predictive indicator for severe disturbance of consciousness and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with cerebral infarction: a retrospective study using the MIMIC-IV database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) has been linked to prognosis of cerebrovascular diseases. Nevertheless, the association between SHR and severe disturbance of consciousness (DC) and mortality among patients with cerebral infarction remains explored. This study seeks to assess the predictive potential of SHR for severe DC and mortality among patients with cerebral infarction.

Methods

We identified individuals diagnosed with cerebral infarction within the MIMIC-IV database. We employed logistic regression to examine the correlation between the SHR index and the severity of patients' consciousness disturbance, as well as in-hospital mortality. Furthermore, we employed restricted cubic spline curves to explore potential non-linear relationships between the SHR index a
