The Association between Serum Anion Gap and All-Cause Mortality in Cerebral Infarction Patients after Treatment with rtPA: A Retrospective Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

No epidemiological study has determined the association between the anion gap (AG) and all-cause mortality in cerebral infarction patients after treatment with rtPA. This study is aimed at using AG levels as a prognostic factor for evaluating cerebral infarction patients after receiving rtPA treatment and to help the resident physicians accurately evaluate the therapeutic plan of rtPA.

Methods

We extracted clinical data from the public database (MIMIC-IV database V1.0) and used the Kaplan-Meier curve to estimate the survival probabilities of cerebral infarction patients after rtPA treatment for the one-year, four-year, and whole period by log-rank test in 948 intensive care unit patients. Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between A
