Association of albumin-corrected anion gap with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in overactive bladder patients.

ABSTRACT: Overactive bladder (OAB) is a symptom syndrome characterized by urgency, often accompanied by frequency and nocturia. It significantly impacts patients' quality of life and imposes a substantial economic burden. The albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG), an important indicator reflecting the body's acid-base balance and electrolyte disturbances, has predictive value in various chronic diseases. However, its association with the prognosis of OAB patients has not been adequately studied. This study aims to explore the relationship between ACAG levels and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in OAB patients. A total of 6592 OAB patients (representing 31,072,714 individuals in the U.S. population) from the 2005-2018 NHANES database were included based on strict inclusion criteria. The
