Description
Shiwei Lin and Xiaofang Chen published a 2025 study of a blood score and death risk in people with overactive bladder. The score corrects the blood's acid balance measure for the patient's albumin level. It flags acid-base and electrolyte disturbances, and it has predicted outcomes well in other chronic diseases.
The team drew more than six thousand patients from a United States health survey that ran from 2005 to 2018. Over an average follow-up of nearly eighty months, more than a thousand participants died of any cause, and more than three hundred died of cardiovascular disease. Each one-step rise in the score accompanied a rise in both death risks, after adjustment for other traits. Those in the top third of scores faced a far higher risk than those in the bottom third. The team proposes the inexpensive blood score as a flag for patients who need close monitoring.
