Relationship between the laboratory test-based frailty index and overall mortality in critically ill patients with acute pancreatitis: a retrospective study based on the MIMIC-IV database.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

The frailty index, based on laboratory assessments, helps identify individuals at risk for adverse health outcomes. However, its relationship with overall mortality in acute pancreatitis patients in ICUs remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between the frailty index and all-cause mortality and assess its prognostic value for these patients.

Methods

We carried out a retrospective observational investigation utilizing data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV 2.2) database. Extract data from the database for all ICU patients (first-time ICU admissions, age ≥ 18 years) who meet the diagnostic criteria for acute pancreatitis. The frailty index derived from laboratory tests (FI-lab) encompassed three vita
