Prognostic Impact of the Ratio of Hemoglobin to Red Blood Cell Distribution Width in Patients after Acute Decompensated Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT: Objective The ratio of hemoglobin to red blood cell distribution width (Hb/RDW) is a simple and readily available tool associated with adverse outcomes in chronic heart failure (HF). However, the association between the Hb/RDW ratio and mortality in patients with acute decompensated HF (ADHF) is unclear. The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between the Hb/RDW ratio and mortality in patients after ADHF. Methods This single-center study included clinical and laboratory data collected at baseline, with patients prospectively followed-up for a median period of 3.1 years. The patients were divided into two groups based on their median Hb/RDW ratio. Patients We evaluated 250 consecutive patients hospitalized for ADHF at Shinshu University Hospital between July 2014 and Marc
