Abstract
This prospective study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the ratio of C-reactive protein-to-prealbumin (CRP/PAB) and clinical outcomes in medical intensive care unit patients. All 240 consecutive adult patients were enrolled in this study with demographic and clinical features collected. Compared with patients belonging to the CRP/PAB ≤0.24 group, hospital mortality and the total length of stay in hospital (TLSH) were significantly increased in patients in the CRP/PAB >0.24 group. CRP/PAB and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score score were independently correlated with hospital mortality while CRP/PAB and age were independently associated with TLSH. CRP/PAB were independently correlated with hospital mortality and TLSH in medical intensive care unit.
