Predictive value of the serum anion gap for 28-day in-hospital all-cause mortality in sepsis patients with acute kidney injury: a retrospective analysis of the MIMIC-IV database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The kidney is one of the most vulnerable organs in sepsis patients, which mainly manifests as sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI). The case fatality rate of SA-AKI is high, and thus, predicting the risk of SA-AKI-related death is hugely significant. Anion gap (AG) is an important indicator in critical illness patients. The present study aimed to analyze the predictive value of the AG for the short-term prognosis of SA-AKI patients.

Methods

SA-AKI patient data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) database were collected retrospectively. Hospitalized septic patients who meet the inclusion criteria were included in the final analysis. All laboratory test parameters only included the data generated within the first 24 hours after
