Platelet counts mediated the relationship between serum calcium and both 90-day and 365-day all-cause mortality, accounting for 24.6% and 22.0% of the mediation effect, respectively. Additionally, three distinct trajectory patterns based on serum calcium levels were identified, with the low calcium trajectory group exhibiting a higher risk of sepsis (OR=2.400, 95% CI: 1.163-5.068, P&amp;lt;0.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Serum calcium levels serve as a significant predictive factor for the occurrence and prognosis of sepsis in hospitalized patients with psoriasis.
