    Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is associated with a high short-term mortality risk of 40% to 50% in critically ill patients.

  • 2

    The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) provides a clearer assessment of acute hyperglycemia by adjusting blood glucose levels for chronic glycemic status.

  • 3

    Elevated SHR levels correlate with increased mortality risk in various conditions, including diabetic kidney disease and sepsis.

  • 4

    The study utilized the MIMIC-IV database to investigate the association between SHR levels and prognosis in patients undergoing IMV.

  • 5

    Optimal SHR cutoff values were determined to enhance risk assessment and treatment strategies for patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation.
