Objective: To assess the association of abnormalities of ionized calcium levels with mortality in a heterogeneous cohort of critically ill patients.Design: Retrospective, combined clinical and biochemical study.Setting: Four combined medical/surgical intensive care units.Patients: Cohort of 7,024 adult critically ill patients. Interventions: None.Measurements and Main Results: We studied 177,578 ionized calcium measurements, from 7024 patients, with a mean value of 1.11 mmol/L (ionized calcium measured every 4.5 hrs on average). The unadjusted lowest and highest ionized calcium reported during intensive care unit stay were significantly different between intensive care unit survivors and nonsurvivors (p
