Association between red cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio and prognostic outcomes in pediatric intensive care unit patients: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to assess the association between Red Cell Distribution Width-to-Albumin Ratio (RAR) and the clinical outcomes in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) patients.

Design

This is a retrospective cohort study.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study based on the Pediatric Intensive Care database. The primary outcome was the 28-day mortality rate. Secondary outcomes included the 90-day mortality rate, in-hospital mortality rate, and length of hospital stay. We explored the relationship between RAR and the prognosis of patients in the PICU using multivariate regression and subgroup analysis.

Results

A total of 7,075 participants were included in this study. The mean age of the participants was 3.4 ± 3.8 years. Kaplan-Meier surviva
