BACKGROUND: Admission @entity413 levels correlate with clinical outcome in @entity1 with @entity6 ( @entity6 ) hospitalized in general medicine wards. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether in-hospital @entity4854 alone, and after adjustment for age, gender and @entity407 , correlates with in- and out-of-hospital mortality. METHODS: Capillary @entity413 , serum lipids and diagnoses at discharge among @entity1 with @entity6 hospitalized in the general medical wards of our hospital were documented. Correlation with in- and out-of-hospital mortality was determined through uni- and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: Of the 4607 @entity1 included in the study 22% died while hospitalized. From a median of five capillary @entity413 tests obtained per @entity1 , average capillary @entity413 level was significantly lower in those who survived than in those who died (174    64 vs. 180    65 mg/dl, P = 0.005). Overall, blood @entity165 was higher in those who survived than in those who died (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis, however, including age, gender, @entity407 and glycemia, showed that only age and male gender correlated with mortality. CONCLUSIONS: @entity4854 was associated with increased in- and out-of-hospital mortality on univariate analysis. However, it was not an independent risk factor when corrected for age, gender and @entity407 .

@entity4854 in XXXX @entity1 in General Medicine Wards: No independent correlation with In- and Out-Of-Hospital Mortality.
