    Elevated glucose variability independently predicted 28- and 90-day mortality in critically ill elderly patients with chronic kidney disease.

  • 2

    Concurrent hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia indicated the poorest prognosis among critically ill patients with chronic kidney disease.

  • 3

    High glucose variability produced synergistic harmful effects in patients with concurrent calcium-phosphate metabolic disorders.

  • 4

    The study utilized three cohorts to validate the prognostic roles of glycemic variability and mineral imbalances in mortality outcomes.

  • 5

    Targeted management of glycemic variability and calcium-phosphate homeostasis may improve survival in elderly critically ill CKD patients.
