Glucose-to-albumin ratio predicts short-term mortality in critically ill patients with acute pancreatitis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe Glucose-to-Albumin Ratio (GAR) has been identified as a significant predictor among sepsis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. However, its utility in predicting all-cause mortality among patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) has not been studied ...

A simple ratio, a complex outcome: glucose-to-albumin ratio predicts delirium in ICU patients after cardiac surgery [PDF]
BMC Cardiovascular DisordersIntroduction Postoperative delirium (POD) is a frequent and serious complication after cardiac surgery. The glucose-to-albumin ratio (GAR) integrates metabolic and nutritional status, but its predictive value for POD in intensive care unit (ICU) patients
