Unlocking the secrets of electrolytes: the prognostic value of sodium-to-chloride ratio in intensive care unit patients with myocardial infarction
The in-hospital mortality of patients admitted to ICU with MI is predicted independently by the ratio of sodium to chloride (Na/Cl). A curvilinear correlation was observed between the Na/Cl ratio and in-hospital mortality, with a statistically significant threshold identified at 1.37.
