Is a higher stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) index associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with atrial fibrillation?
The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) index may serve as a useful prognostic indicator for assessing severity and mortality risk in critically ill patients with atrial fibrillation.
In critically ill patients with AF, higher levels of the SHR index are significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality at 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, and 365 days. The SHR index may serve as a valid indicator for assessing the severity and guiding the treatment of AF patients in the ICU.
