The Relationship Between Stress Hyperglycemia Ratio and Short-Term Mortality in Critically Ill Septic Patients: A Diabetes Status-Based Stratified Analysis

1

Sepsis is a critical condition with high mortality rates, necessitating effective risk stratification for improved patient outcomes.
2

The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is a proposed metric that adjusts glucose levels for chronic glycemic status in critically ill patients.
3

This study investigates the association between SHR at ICU admission and short-term mortality in septic patients using a large database.
4

Higher SHR values are linked to increased 28-day and 90-day all-cause mortality, highlighting its potential as a prognostic tool.
5

The research employs robust statistical methods to ensure validity and transparency in assessing the SHR's impact on mortality.
