Title: Association between lactate-to-albumin ratio and all-cause mortality in critically
ill cirrhotic patients with sepsis: A retrospective analysis of the MIMIC-IV database
Version: 1 Date: 29 Nov 2024
Reviewer's report:
Overall, this is a well-designed study on a pertinent topic. The authors adequately controlled
for confounding variables and managed missing data effectively. However, I would like to see
a more detailed explanation of the inclusion criteria, particularly regarding how infection was
defined (e.g., using ICD codes, positive microbiology results, imaging, etc.).
Additionally, it would be helpful to specify whether a defined timeframe was considered for
identifying the "first value after ICU admission" when collecting the data.
