Impact of Biochemical Parameters on Mortality in Critically Ill ICU Patients: The Role of Mechanical Ventilation, Elevated Lactate, Red Blood Cell Distribution Width (RDW-CV) Levels, and Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) Score

In both multivariate analysis and clinical practice, the independent predictors of mortality in ICU patients were identified as the need for MV, elevated NRS-2002 scores, increased lactate levels, and higher RDW-CV values. Among these, the strongest predictor of mortality was the requirement for MV. We anticipate that the results of our study will aid in the enhancement of mortality prediction models and provide important parameters to inform clinical practice.
