Association and risk of blood urea nitrogen-to-creatinine ratio with congestive heart failure in critically ill COPD patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of global morbidity and death. The blood urea nitrogen-to-creatinine ratio (BCR) is recognized as a crucial marker to assess renal function and cardiovascular risk. Nevertheless, the effects of BCR on COPD patients suffering comorbid congestive heart failure (CHF) is not clarified. This study aims to elucidate the association between BCR and CHF risk in the COPD population.

Methods

Data from COPD patients meeting the eligibility criteria were from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. The cumulative incidence curve was utilized for examining the link of BCR to CHF. Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis was carried out for evaluating the relation of BCR to in-hospital mortality(IH
