Abstract

The effect of the lactate dehydrogenase to albumin ratio (LAR) on the survival of patients with acute heart failure (AHF) is unclear. We aimed to analyze the impact of LAR on survival in patients with AHF. We retrieved eligible patients for our study from the Monitoring in Intensive Care Database III. For each patient in our study, we gathered clinical data and demographic information. We conducted multivariate logistic regression modeling and smooth curve fitting to assess whether the LAR score could be used as an independent indicator for predicting the prognosis of AHF patients. A total of 2,177 patients were extracted from the database. Survivors had an average age of 69.88, whereas nonsurvivors had an average age of 71.95. The survivor group had a mean LAR ratio of 13.44, and the nonsurvivor group had a value of 17.38. LAR and in-hospital mortality had a nearly linear correlation, according to smooth curve fitting ( < 0.001). According to multivariate logistic regression, the LAR may be an independent risk factor in predicting the prognosis of patients with AHF (odd ratio = 1.09; < 0.001). The LAR ratio is an independent risk factor associated with increased in-hospital mortality rates in patients with AHF.
