Relationship between initial red cell distribution width and ΔRDW and mortality in cardiac arrest patients.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

There has been a lack of research examining the relationship between red cell distribution width (RDW) and the prognosis of cardiac arrest (CA) patients. The prognostic value of the changes in RDW during intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization for CA patients has not been investigated. This study aims to investigate the correlation between RDW measures at ICU admission and RDW changes during ICU hospitalization and the prognosis of CA patients and then develop a nomogram that predicts the risk of mortality of these patients.

Methods and results

A retrospective cohort study is used to collect clinical characteristics of CA patients (>18 years) that are on their first admission to ICU with RDW data measured from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV Version
