BUN-to-ALB Ratio as an Effective Predictor of 30 Day Mortality in Acute Decompensated HF (ADHF) Patients in Eastern China
Main finding · 30 day mortalityResult — go to the resultHazard ratio 3.25 95% CI 1.28–8.30Authors' conclusion
This study found that BAR can serve as an effective predictor of short-term prognosis in ADHF patients based on clinical data from the Jiangxi population, with an optimal predictive threshold calculated at 0.33.
