    Heart failure (HF) has a rising global prevalence and is associated with a high risk of mortality and rehospitalization.

  • 2

    Patients with HF are at increased risk for sepsis, with a threefold higher recurrence rate compared to those without HF.

  • 3

    Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) may serve as a valuable metric for assessing acute glycemic levels and sepsis risk in HF patients.

  • 4

    The study utilized the MIMIC-IV database to investigate the association between SHR and sepsis occurrence in critically ill HF patients.

  • 5

    Inflammation may mediate the relationship between SHR and sepsis risk, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
