Ocular diseases and their association with mortality in intensive care unit patients: a retrospective cohort study from the MIMIC-IV database.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Ocular diseases, though common in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, are often overlooked due to prioritisation of organ failure management. Their comorbidities, clinical features and prognostic effects require large-scale investigation.

Measurements and main results

This study used data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database (V. 2.2). Random forest models were used to determine the importance of factors for 1-year mortality and in-hospital mortality. Multivariate logistic regression models were employed to identify the independent risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality in acute ocular disease subgroups. A total of 40 149 patients were identified in this study as eligible for the final analysis. The median age was 67.1 year
