Prognostic Value of Blood Urea Nitrogen to Albumin Ratio in Elderly Critically Ill Patients with Acute Kidney Injury: A Retrospective Study by Sinem Bayrakçı, Elif Eygi

“…In the non-survivor group, diuretic use (<i>p</i> = 0.03), oliguria, RRT, vasopressor requirement, sepsis, and MV rates (<i>p</i> < 0.001),as well as BUN, phosphate, LDH, Crp, APTT, INR, and BAR rates, were higher (all <i>p</i> < 0.05) and albumin was lower (<i>p</i> = 0.01). Cut-off values of BUN, albumin, and BAR variables according to mortality status were determined by an ROC curve analysis, as follows:48.4 for BUN (<i>p</i> = 0.013), 31.5 for albumin (<i>p</i> = 0.001), and 1.507 for BAR (<i>p</i> = 0.001).According to the results of the ROC analysis performed to predict in-hospital mortality, the BAR level reached an AUC value of 0.655. …”
