By drawing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and comparing the areas under the ROC curves (AUC) to determine the predictive value of UO for in-hospital mortality, and by drawing the Kaplan-Meier curves to compare the difference in in-hospital mortality between different groups of UO.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Before and after the propensity score matching (PSM) analysis, UO was always a risk factor for in-hospital mortality in patients with septic shock. The AUC of UO was comparable to the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scoring system, while the AUC of combining UO and SOFA was greater than that of SOFA. The median survival time of the high-UO group (UO &amp;gt; 0.39 ml\/kg\/h, before PSM; UO &amp;gt; 0.38 ml\/kg\/h, after PSM) was longer than that of the low-UO group. Compared with the high-UO group, the hazard ratios (HR) of the low-UO group were 2.6857 (before PSM) and 1.7879 (after PSM).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> UO is an independent risk factor for septic shock. Low levels of UO significantly increase the in-hospital mortality of intensive care patients with septic shock. The predictive value of UO is comparable to the SOFA scoring system, and the combined predictive value of the two surpasses SOFA alone.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2021.737654","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,18]],"date-time":"2021-11-18T07:33:08Z","timestamp":1637220788000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Urine
