Association between red cell distribution width to albumin ratio and all-cause mortality in patients with acute pancreatitis admitted to the intensive care unit: a retrospective study based on the MIMIC-IV database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Red blood cell volume distribution width (RDW) and albumin (Alb) have been proved to be predictors of mortality in various diseases, such as acute pancreatitis (AP). However, until now the relationship between RDW to Alb ratio (RAR) and mortality in AP has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the relationship between RAR and all-cause mortality in AP.

Method

Patients with AP in the Critical Care Medical Information Market (MIMIC-IV) database who met criteria were included in this retrospective study. Associated baseline data was obtained, cleaned and analyzed. Kaplan Meier (K-M) survival curve and Cox proportional hazards regression model were utilized to evaluate the relationship between RAR and all-cause mortality. Restricted Cubic S
