Association Between Low Serum Creatinine and Mortality in Patients With Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

In our study, we find that although there were no significant differences in mortality between patients with low creatinine values and others at 30 days post-admission, there appeared to be a trend toward significance at one year when patients were identified based on the admission values, and a highly significant difference when the patients were identified based on pre-admission creatinine values.

The differences did not reach statistical significance (p-values of 0.107 and 0.068 for 30 days and one year, respectively) when compared to patients with normal or high creatinine values based on admission values where the 30-day mortality was 11.11% (N = 11) or 36.36% at one year (N = 36).
