Background: Cardiac arrest (CA) is a
common event in the intensive care unit (ICU), which seriously threatens the
prognosis of patients. Therefore, it is crucial to determine a simple and
effective clinical indicator to judge the prognosis of patients after a CA for
later treatments. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship
between the lactate dehydrogenase to albumin ratio (LAR) and the prognosis of
patients after a CA. Methods: The
clinical data of participants was obtained from the Medical Information Mart for
Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV, v2.0; 2008 to 2019). According to the 30-day
prognosis, patients were divided into a
survivors group (n = 216) and a non-survivors group (n = 304). The optimal LAR threshold was determined using
restricted cubic spline (RCS), which divided patients into a high LAR group
