What is LDH Levels and VAP Risk in ICU Patients about?

This study investigates the relationship between serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels and the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in ICU patients using data from the MIMIC database. The findings indicate that elevated LDH levels are associated with a higher risk of VAP and longer duration of mechanical ventilation. Specifically, patients with LDH levels between 279-390 IU/L and above 390 IU/L have significantly increased odds of developing VAP compared to those with lower levels.
