The association between blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio and 28 day in-hospital mortality in patients with chronic heart failure and sepsis: a pilot retrospective study
In the context of critically ill patients with chronic heart failure complicated by sepsis, there exists a significant correlation between blood urea nitrogen to serum albumin ratio (BAR) and 28-day mortality. Specifically, higher BAR levels are associated with an elevated risk of 28-day mortality in these patients. However, these findings require further research for confirmation.
