Brief Summary:
Low creatinine levels may be a sign of muscle atrophy or weakness, and therefore predictive for respiratory insufficiency in the Intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The investigators compared the outcomes of participants with low creatinine levels with subsequent ICU participants admitted into ICU in the tertiary hospital.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Intensive Care Unit Respiratory Insufficiency Muscle Weakness Diagnostic Test: Serum creatinine levels

Detailed Description:
The investigators have found a total of 46 participants with low creatinine levels and compared their outcome data with a group of participants with normal or high creatinine levels (control group, N=61). Low creatinine was defined as values of ≤40 μmol/L. Demographic data, type of admission (medical vs. surgical), hemoglobin values, CRP, and ventilator days were compared. A statistical analysis was performed using chi square and T-test.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Study group
Total of 46 patients with low serum creatinine levels whose values were obtained from the central laboratory with inclusion criteria (< 40mmol/L)
Diagnostic Test: Serum creatinine levels
Comparison of treatment length using mechanical ventilaton, length of stay in ICU, survival between two groups

Control group
A total of 61 consecutive patients were obtained who were treated in ICU CHC Osijek, according to the date of admission.
Diagnostic Test: Serum creatinine levels
Comparison of treatment length using mechanical ventilaton, length of stay in ICU, survival between two groups




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Length of mechanical ventilation treatment in group with low serume creatinine level [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
    The investigators compared length of mechanical ventilation treatment between group with low serume creatinine level and control group


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Length of stay in ICU in group with low serume creatinine level [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
    The investigators compared length of stay in ICU between group with low serume creatinine level and control group

  2. White blood cell values in group with low creatinine level [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
    The investigators compared white blood cell values between group with low creatinine level and control group

  3. Hemoglobine values in group with low creatinine level [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
    The investigators compared hemoglobine values between group with low creatinine level and control group

  4. Number of patients who started nutrition in ICU [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
    The investigators compared number of patients between group with low creatinine level and control group who started nutrition in ICU

  5. Platelets values in group with low creatinine level [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
    The investigators compared platelet values between group with low creatinine level and control group

  6. Number of patients who receive blood products transfusion [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
    The investigators compared number of patients who received blood products between group with low creatinine level and control group

  7. Number of patients discharged [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
    The investigators compared number of patients who were discharged from intensive care unit to the ward between group with low creatinine level and control group
