Association of red cell distribution width and its changes with the 30-day mortality in patients with acute respiratory failure: An analysis of MIMIC-IV database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a common disease in the intensive care units (ICUs) with high risk of mortality. The red cell distribution width (RDW) is one of baseline ICU indicators which can be easily available, and has been used in the long-term prognostic analyses of diseases. However, no studies have explored the role of baseline RDW and its change during hospitalization in in-hospital mortality in ARF. Herein, this study aims to explore the association between RDW and its changes and the 30-day mortality in ARF patients.

Methods

Demographic and clinical data of 7,497 patients with ARF were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database in 2012-2019 in this retrospective cohort study. Univariable and multivariable C
