Association between endothelial activation and stress index and mortality in critically ill patients with atrial fibrillation: In MIMIC database: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence indicates that the Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX) is a predictor of mortality in endothelium-related conditions; however, its association with mortality risk in atrial fibrillation (AF) remains uncertain. Accordingly, this study examines the relationship between EASIX and mortality risk among patients with AF.

Methods

This retrospective analysis utilized data from the Medical Information Marketplace in Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database, which includes critically ill patients diagnosed with AF. To examine the association between EASIX scores and mortality, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Cox proportional hazards models, and restricted cubic spline regression were applied to evaluate the relationship between EASIX and all-cause mortalit
