A simple ratio, a complex outcome: glucose-to-albumin ratio predicts delirium in ICU patients after cardiac surgery
GAR is an independent predictor of postoperative delirium in ICU patients undergoing cardiac surgery. It may serve as a practical biomarker for early delirium risk stratification. Prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings and to further establish the clinical utility of GAR in perioperative care.
