Association between RDW-SD and prognosis across glycemic status in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The prognostic significance of red cell distribution width-SD (RDW-SD) as a promising inflammatory biomarker in individuals with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and varying glycemic status remains unexplored.

Research design and methods

Patients hospitalized for DCM in Fuwai Hospital from 2006 to 2021 were retrospectively included. The primary outcome encompassed all-cause mortality and heart transplantations. The multivariable Cox regression was used to evaluate the association between RDW-SD and outcomes in the overall DCM population, and among patients with normoglycemia (NG), pre-diabetes mellitus (pre-DM) and DM.

Results

Among 1,102 patients with DCM, the median age was 48 years and 23.5% were women. In the overall DCM cohort, the RDW-SD wa
