Association between red blood cell distribution width-platelet ratio (RPR) and mortality in patients with heart failure from the MIMIC IV database: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: The association between the red blood cell distribution width-platelet ratio (RPR) and mortality in heart failure patients remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the potential non-linear relationship between RPR and 1-year mortality risk. A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 6982 participants from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Multivariable Cox regression and restricted cubic spline analyses were performed to evaluate the association between RPR and 1-year mortality, adjusting for potential confounders. We observed 1091 patients died in hospital and 2535 patients died during 1 year follow-up period. The prevalence or incidence of mortality did not show statistically significant differences among RPR groups in the overall study pop
