Article Synopsis
- Prothrombin time (PT) and PT-INR are significant predictors of mortality in cancer patients, particularly in an in-hospital setting for severely ill individuals.
- This study utilized a case-control design, analyzing data from over 200,000 patients across 208 hospitals in the US, focusing on those severely affected by cancer.
- Results showed that lower PT-INR (below 2.5) and PT (below 22) were both positively correlated with increased in-hospital mortality, highlighting the importance of monitoring these values in patient care.
Objectives: The aim of our study was to investigate the association between serum albumin concentration and the risk of cardiac arrest in critically ill patients with end-stage renal disease in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Design: This was a secondary analysis.
Setting: The Phillip electronic-ICU collaborative database from 2014 to 2015.
