Prolonged elevated heart rate and 28-day in-hospital mortality in patients with asthma-related critical illness: a multicenter retrospective cohort study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Prolonged elevated heart rate (PeHR) has been reported to be associated with adverse outcomes in several critical illnesses, but its prognostic significance in patients with asthma-related critical illness remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between PeHR and 28-day in-hospital mortality in this population. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using two large intensive care unit (ICU) databases, the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) and the eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD). The MIMIC-IV cohort included 2,355 ICU patients with a recorded diagnosis of asthma or status asthmaticus, and the eICU-CRD cohort included 1,575 patients as an external validation cohort. PeHR was defined as an hourly mean heart rate >100 beats per minute (bpm) for at least 11 hours within any consecutive 12-hour window. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the association between PeHR and 28-day in-hospital mortality. A 24-hour landmark analysis, subgroup analyses, and multiple sensitivity analyses were further performed. As an exploratory supplementary analysis, elastic-net models based on routinely available variables from the first 24 hours after ICU admission were developed to stratify the risk of 28-day in-hospital mortality after the 24-hour landmark and to assess the incremental predictive value of PeHR. Results: In the MIMIC-IV cohort, 589 patients (25.0%) met the PeHR definition. The 28-day in-hospital mortality rate was higher in the PeHR group than in the no-PeHR group (11.4% Conclusions: Among patients with asthma-related critical illness, PeHR was independently associated with higher 28-day in-hospital mortality, with a similar direction of association observed in the external validation cohort and in the 24-hour landmark analysis. PeHR may serve as an easily obtainable and interpretable marker of short-term mortality risk; however, its incremental predictive value in multivariable prediction models appears limited and requires further prospective validation.
