Association between hemoglobin and in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with sepsis: evidence from two large databases
A nonlinear correlation between hemoglobin levels and in-hospital mortality was observed in patients with sepsis, with a threshold of 10.2 g/DL. These findings suggested that hemoglobin levels below or above the threshold may be associated with worse outcomes, warranting further investigation in prospective studies.
