Association between red cell distribution width to albumin ratio and clinical outcomes in elderly patients with sepsis: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study investigates the association between red cell distribution width to albumin ratio (RAR) and clinical outcomes in elderly sepsis patients.

Methods

This study investigates the association between red cell distribution width to albumin ratio (RAR) and clinical outcomes in elderly sepsis patients. Methods: Using the eICU-CRD (2014-2015), 5,976 sepsis patients aged≥60 years were stratified into RAR quartiles at ICU admission: Q1 (≤5.28), Q2 (5.29-6.37), Q3 (6.38-7.87), and Q4 (7.88-15.0), with Q1 as the reference category. The primary outcome was 28-day hospital mortality, while secondary outcomes included ICU mortality, 90-day hospital mortality, and lengths of ICU and hospital stays.
