The glycemic gap and stress glycemia ratio may predict ICU mortality in critically ill patients with AKI
In the original research, "Predictive value of glycemic gap and stress glycemia ratio among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury: a retrospective analysis of the MIMIC-III database", Wenkai Xia et al. and colleagues, said that the predictive value of glycemia at admission for ICU mortality in critically ill patients could be partially improved when the average chronic glycemia, as calculated by HbA1c, is also considered.”
This study is published in BMC Nephrology.
It is already known that Acute hyperglycemia is a risk factor for acute kidney injury occurrence and mortality in various diseases. In the present study, a team of researchers investigated the relationship between stress-induced hyperglycemia and adverse outcomes in critically ill patients with a history of AKI by extracting clinical data from Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care III version 1.4.
