Post-stroke mortality in ICU patients with serum glucose-potassium ratio: an analysis of MIMIC-IV database

CONCLUSION: The GPR is an independent predictor of poor prognosis in AIS patients admitted to the ICU. Higher GPRs are associated with increased 28-day and 90-day mortality rates, highlighting the potential utility of this ratio in risk stratification and clinical decision-making. A non-linear relationship was observed between the GPR and 365-day mortality, with an inflection point identified at GPR = 2.75.
