- - The study highlights that septic patients with cirrhosis have a worse prognosis than those without cirrhosis, emphasizing the need for early and accurate prognosis determination to inform treatment choices.
- - Researchers analyzed data from the MIMIC-IV database, including 1,340 septic cirrhotic patients, and found that a higher albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) is significantly associated with increased 28-day mortality.
- - The findings suggest that ACAG could be a useful indicator for clinicians, offering insights that may help guide treatment decisions in this high-risk patient group.
