Prognostic value of red blood cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio in ICU patients with coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The red blood cell distribution width (RDW)-to-albumin ratio (RAR) has emerged as a potentially valuable prognostic indicator in diverse medical conditions. However, the prognostic significance of RAR in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) remains uncertain and requires further investigation.

Methods

This study aims to investigate the prognostic significance of RAR in ICU patients with coexisting CHD and DM through a retrospective cohort analysis using data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database (version 2.2). The study population included patients aged 18 years or older who were diagnosed with both CHD and DM. The primary endpoint was 1-year mortality, and the seconda
