Introduction:
In critically ill patients, the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) was significantly associated with mortality. However, the relationship between SHR and mortality in septic patients is still unclear.In this study, patients with sepsis from two Chinese academic centers were identified and divided into quartiles based on SHR levels.
Methods:
Multivariable regression analysis will be used to determine associations between SHR and clinical outcomes in sepsis patients.The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to predict mortality in various groups of septic patients.
Results:
A total of 1835 septic patients were included in the study.The in-hospital, 30-day, and 60-day mortality rates for all septic patients were 22.8%, 18.7%, and 21.7%, respectively. Increased SHR was significantly associated with hospital mortality in multivariate regression analysis.These results were further confirmed in the adjusted analysis, where the hospital mortality and the 60-day mortality of the highest SHR quartile were significantly increased compared to the lowest SHR quartile. However, the highest SHR quartile was not associated with 30-day mortality.In addition, the risk of in-hospital mortality, 30-day mortality and 60-day mortality showed a consistent upward trend with increasing SHR quartile. The survival curve showed that the worst prognosis was in the fourth SHR quartile.
Discussion:
In conclusion, SHR was significantly associated with hospital mortality in patients with sepsis. This finding indicates that the SHR may be useful in identifying septic patients at higher risk of hospital mortality.
