Dose-Response Relationship between Red Blood Cell Distribution Width and In-Hospital Mortality in Oldest Old Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

It is crucial to identify predictors of mortality in the early stage of acute ischemic stroke for the oldest old (aged ≥80 years) because of their poor overall survival outcomes. However, limited data are available as the oldest old have often been excluded from previous clinical studies. Hence, we aimed to assess the predictive effect of red blood cell distribution width on in-hospital mortality and the dose-response relationship between the red blood cell distribution width and in-hospital mortality in oldest old with acute ischemic stroke.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was performed in two tertiary hospitals. Patients aged ≥80 years admitted due to acute ischemic stroke from January 1, 2014, to January 31, 2020, were included in the study. We divided t
