Insights of red cell distribution width for mortality in septic patients with diabetes mellitus: A multicenter cohort study.

ABSTRACT: The correlation between red cell distribution width (RDW)and mortality in septic patients with diabetes mellitus has not been extensively investigated. This study aimed to explore the correlation between RDW and mortality and potential value of RDW as a prognostic indicator in septic patients with diabetes mellitus. A total of 5476 septic patients with diabetes mellitus were included in this multicenter retrospective cohort study. Multivariate logistic regression, dose-response, and mediation analyses were conducted to examine the association between RDW and mortality in septic patients with diabetes mellitus. The predictive value of RDW was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis. The improvement in the mo
