Elevated blood urea nitrogen-to-creatinine ratio predicts short-term mortality in intensive care unit patients with ischemic stroke: Evidence from a multicenter cohort
An elevated BUCR is an independent predictor of 28-day in-hospital mortality in ICU patients with ischemic stroke. This finding provides compelling evidence to address existing inconsistencies in the field, suggesting that BUCR may serve as a simple and effective biomarker for identifying high-risk patients with severe IS.
