BUN-to-ALB ratio as an effective predictor of 30 day mortality in ADHF patients in eastern China.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The blood urea nitrogen-to-albumin ratio (BAR) is considered a potential indicator for assessing the poor prognosis of heart failure (HF). However, its prognostic value for Chinese patients with acute decompensated HF (ADHF) remains unclear.

Methods

This study included ADHF patients who met the study criteria and were admitted to Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital from 2019 to 2022. We first employed univariate and multivariate Cox regression models to determine the role of BAR in evaluating the short-term prognosis of ADHF patients. Subsequently, we used restricted cubic spline regression to explore the nonlinear relationship and potential threshold between BAR and prognosis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to calculate the predic
