Positive association between stress hyperglycemia ratio and ICU mortality in patients with pulmonary embolism: A retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Measurement of the Stress Hyperglycemia Ratio (SHR) aims to reduce the influence of prolonged chronic glycemic variables on stress hyperglycemia levels, which are associated with clinical outcomes. Nevertheless, the correlation between SHR and the risk of all-cause Intensive Care Unit (ICU) mortality in patients with pulmonary embolism(PE) remains unclear.

Methods

Data for this retrospective study were o btained from the MIMIC IV2.2 database. The participants were divided into four groups based on the SHR quartiles. The primary outcome measured was 28-day ICU mortality. We employed Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and restricted cubic splines to evaluate the correlation between the SHR and clinical outcomes in patients with PE.
