Identifying reliable, non-invasive predictors of mortality in these patients is critical for improving prognostic accuracy and guiding therapeutic strategies. This retrospective cohort study evaluates the predictive value of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in determining mortality among ICU patients with CVEs. Methods: This single-center, retrospective observational study included 102 patients diagnosed with CVEs and admitted to the ICU at Gaziantep City Hospital between October 2023 and March 2024. This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki. Ethics approval was obtained from Gaziantep Islam Science and Technology University (Decision No. 394.36.08), and the requirement for informed consent was waived due to the retrospective design. The sample size was determined using G-Power 3.1.9.4. Results: A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between the ONSD and mortality (p = 0.002). Patients with higher ONSD values demonstrated an increased mortality risk, underscoring the potential prognostic value of ONSD measurements in this population. Conclusions: MRI-based ONSD measurement offers a non-invasive method for predicting mortality in ICU patients with CVEs. Its integration into routine diagnostic protocols could enhance clinical decision-making and patient outcomes. Further multicenter studies are warranted to validate these findings and standardize ONSD measurement techniques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics15040490","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,17]],"date-time":"2025-02-17T10:26:12Z","timestamp":1739787972000},"page":"490","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Role of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter on Mortality Prediction in Patients Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit from the Emergency Department"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5707-7645","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaz\u0131m Ersin","family":"Alt\u0131nsoy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Gaziantep Islam Science and Technology University, 27470 Gaziantep, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bahar Uslu","family":"Bayhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia and Reanimation, Gaziantep City Hospital, 27470 Gaziantep, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"214","DOI":"10.1136\/svn-2020-000503","article-title":"Trends and predictors of myocardial infarction or vascular death after is chaemic stroke or TIA in China, 2007\u20132018: Insights from China National Stroke Registries","volume":"6","author":"Li","year":"2021","journal-title":"Stroke Vasc.
