This study suggests that stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) may be a valuable predictor of prognosis in patients with heart failure combined with sepsis.

Both high and low SHR values are associated with poorer outcomes. However, as this is an observational study, we cannot infer causality from these associations.

Further research, including well-designed clinical trials, is warranted to validate our findings and to explore the relationship between SHR and other clinical variables.

This research may in the future provide evidence for clinicians to use in the early identification of high-risk patients, thereby enabling proactive interventions and effectively mitigating severe disease consequences.

The dataset encompasses 76,943 health records detailing admissions at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center spanning the years 2008 to 2019, encapsulating the healthcare experiences of 53,150 different individuals.
