Association between red cell distribution width-to-lymphocyte ratio and 30-day mortality in patients with ischemic stroke: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Ischaemic stroke (IS) has become a major health problem globally as it is one of the leading causes of long-term disability and death. This study aimed to evaluate the association between red cell distribution width (RDW) to lymphocyte (LYM) ratio (RLR) and 30-day mortality risk in patients with IS.

Methods

The present study employed a retrospectively cohort study design with the adult data extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-III, MIMIC-IV) databases between 2001 and 2019. The RLR was measured using RDW and LYM. Confounders were adjusted in Cox proportional hazards model. The outcome was 30-day mortality. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were establised. A further analysis was conducted on the basis of
