Association of Serum Creatinine-Cystatin C Ratio With Hospital-Associated Complications and Post-Discharge Mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To examine the associations of serum creatinine-cystatin C ratio (CCR) at admission with mortality at 3 months post-discharge and the incidence of hospital-associated complications (HAC).

Methods

The study was conducted at 2 centers and included patients admitted to and discharged from geriatric wards between October 2019 and July 2023. Patient backgrounds were compared according to mortality at 3 months post-discharge. Next, logistic regression analysis was performed using mortality at 3 months post-discharge as the objective variable. Similarly, logistic regression analysis was performed with the incidence of HAC as the objective variable.

Results

Two hundred thirty-one patients were included in the analysis. The death group had significantly lower CCR (p < 0.00
