Association of red blood cell distribution width with short- and long-term all-cause mortality in patients with acute pancreatitis and sepsis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and short- and long-term all-cause mortality in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) and sepsis remains unclear.

Methods

Data were extracted from the MIMIC-IV database for patients diagnosed with AP and sepsis. The primary research endpoints were all-cause mortality at 28, 90, and 365 days. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis, restricted cubic spline (RCS) receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, subgroup analysis, and Cox regression were employed to assess the association between RDW and mortality.

Results

A total of 759 patients with AP and sepsis were included. The all-cause mortality rates were 17.26%, 25.96%, and 31.49% at 28, 90, and 365 days, respectively. Cox regression analysi
