Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder, and critically ill patients with T2DM in intensive care unit (ICU) have an increased risk of mortality. In this study, we investigated the relationship between nine inflammatory indicators and prognosis in critically ill patients with T2DM to provide a clinical reference for assessing the prognosis of patients admitted to the ICU. Critically ill patients with T2DM were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database and divided into training and testing sets (7:3 ratio).
