AIM: This prospective study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the ratio of C-reactive protein-to-prealbumin (CRP/PAB) and clinical outcomes in medical intensive care unit patients. MATERIALS & METHODS: All 240 consecutive adult patients were enrolled in this study with demographic and clinical features collected. RESULTS: Compared with patients belonging to the CRP/PAB ≤0.24 group, hospital mortality and the total length of stay in hospital (TLSH) were significantly increased in patients in the CRP/PAB >0.24 group. CRP/PAB and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score score were independently correlated with hospital mortality while CRP/PAB and age were independently associated with TLSH. CONCLUSION: CRP/PAB were independently correlated with hospital mortality and TLSH in medical intensive care unit.
