Researchers examined 3,774 critically ill heart failure (HF) patients with diabetes and found that the lactate-to-albumin ratio (LAR) is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality at 90 days, 180 days, and 1 year. Patients with both low and high LAR values had increased mortality risk. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed lower survival rates in the low-LAR group. They concluded that further prospective studies are needed for validation.
