Popis: Background:High serum anion gap (AG) on admission is often correlated with poor outcomes in critically ill patients; however, data in patients with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are lacking. Herein, we aimed to identify the association between serum AG and all-cause mortality in patients with non-traumatic SAH.MethodsA retrospective analysis of data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) database was performed on critically ill patients with non-traumatic SAH. Serum AG was collected on Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission, and ICU and hospital all-cause mortality were analyzed. The multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model and Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis were used to analyze the correlation of serum AG with ICU and hospital all-cause mortality. Furthermore, interaction and subgroup analyses were evaluated for the consistency of these correlations.ResultsA total of 893 patients with non-traumatic SAH were included in this study. The all-cause mortality in ICU and hospital were 14.8% (132/893), and 18.9% (169/893), respectively. Multivariate analysis after adjusting for potential confounders indicated that high serum AG levels (≥16 mmol/L) were associated with increased risk of ICU and hospital all-cause mortality as compared to that with low serum AG levels (
