The relationship between potassium levels and 28-day mortality in sepsis patients: secondary data analysis using the MIMIC-IV database.
Heliyon(2024)
摘要
Objective
The goal of the research is to investigate the link between serum potassium levels and death after 28 days in sepsis patients, utilizing an extensive sample of patients from the multi-center Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Current research on serum potassium levels and 28-day mortality in sepsis patients is questionable. This study adds to the growing body of evidence linking serum potassium levels to the 28-day possibility of death in patients with sepsis.
Methods
We collected 349,08 patients with sepsis from the retrospective cohort MIMIC-IV database, using serum potassium level on the first day of admission to the intensive care unit as the exposure variable and mortality at 28 days as the outcome variable. And controlled for confounding characteristics including gender, age, ethnicity, and vital signs during admission.
Results
Serum potassium has a U-shaped connection with 28-day mortality in patients suffering from sepsis. The turning point was 4.10 mmol/L (95% confidence interval: 4.03 to 4.22). Serum potassium and 28-day mortality were negatively linked on the inflection point's left side (OR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.63 to 0.83, P< 0.0001); on the opposing side of the point of inflexion, serum potassium was enthusiastically attached to 28-day mortality. (OR: 1.13; 95% CI: 1.06 to 1.21, P< 0.0001).
Conclusion
The research conducted found that too high or too low potassium levels were linked to a 28-day risk of mortality in humans with sepsis.
