After adjusting for confounding variables, each incremental unit rise in respiratory rate was associated with an 8% increase in the risk of patient mortality (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.05∼1.11, <i>P</i> < 0.001). When comparing individuals with respiratory rates in the first tertile (≤17 breaths per minute) and the third tertile (>17-20 breaths per minute) to those in the second tertile (17-20 breaths per minute), the adjusted ORs for in-hospital mortality were 1.09 (95% CI: 0.82∼1.46, <i>P</i> = 0.546) and 1.62 (95% CI: 1.27∼2.06, <i>P</i> < 0.001), respectively. A dose-response relationship depicted a J-shaped curve between respiratory rate and the risk of in-hospital mortality, with an inflection point at approximately 19 breaths per minute. Stratified analyses confirmed the robustness of this correlation. <b>Conclusions:</b> This study reveals a J-shaped association between respiratory rate and in-hospital mortality in ICU patients suffering from both AMI and CHF.</p>","PeriodicalId":11285,"journal":{"name":"Dose-Response","volume":"22 4","pages":"15593258241303040"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11613282/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142767311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
