From: The calculated ion gap: a novel predictor of mortality in the critically ill surgical patient
 | Day 1 CIG < 10 mmol/l | Day 1 CIG > 10 mmol/l | P value |
---|---|---|---|
Inhospital mortality | 4.7% (n = 86) | 26.1% (n = 23) | P = 0.006 (χ2 test) |
Length of hospital stay | 18.7 days | 46.6 days | P = 0.015 (t test) |
