Objectives:
This study aimed to investigate the association between albumin corrected anion gap (ACAG) and 30-day mortality in septic older adults.
Methods:
In this study, multivariate Cox regression models and Kaplan-Meier analysis were employed to evaluate the correlation between ACAG and 30-day mortality in septic older adults.
Results:
After adjustment for potential confounders, each 1 mmol/L increase in ACAG was associated with a 6% increase in 30-day mortality (HR, 1.06 [1.03-1.08], P < 0.001). Higher levels of ACAG in septic older adults were associated with lower 30-day survival rates based on Kaplan-Meier analysis.
Conclusions:
This study observed a significant correlation between higher ACAG and 30-day mortality in septic older adults, thus indicating the need for increased attention from clinicians for patients with higher ACAG levels.
