Association between serum creatinine-to-albumin ratio and 28-day mortality in intensive care unit patients following cardiac surgery: analysis of mimic-iv data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Creatinine-to-albumin ratio (CAR) has been recognized as a predictive indicator in the postoperative setting. However, its relationship with outcomes in patients receiving cardiac surgery remains elusive. This study aimed to discuss the link between CAR and 28-day mortality in patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) following cardiac surgery, hoping to provide some insights for targeted interventions for improvement of patient outcomes.

Methods

MIMIC-IV database was searched to obtain data of patients admitted to ICU following cardiac surgery. Retrieved patients were split into three groups based on CAR levels. The 28-day ICU mortality in each group was evaluated and compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Subgroup analysis, multivariate Cox regression and re
