- Vitamin C administration is associated with reduced 30-day mortality in ICU patients with acute pancreatitis-related acute kidney injury (AP-AKI).
- The study is a retrospective analysis using the MIMIC-IV database, employing propensity score matching to control for confounders.
- Subgroup analysis suggests potential heterogeneity in the effect of Vitamin C among patients aged ≥65 and those with myocardial infarction.
- Different doses of Vitamin C did not show a significant difference in 30-day mortality outcomes for AP-AKI patients.
- The research concludes that Vitamin C may improve prognosis in AP-AKI, but dose variations do not impact mortality.
