Predictive value of red cell distribution width to albumin ratio for acute kidney injury in patients with acute pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Red blood cell volume distribution width (RDW) and albumin have been increasingly recognized for their roles in inflammatory diseases. However, the relationship between RDW-to-albumin ratio (RAR) and acute kidney injury (AKI) in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients has not been clarified. Therefore, the research aims to explore the correlation between RAR and AKI risk in critically ill patients with AP.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with AP from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database were included in this retrospective study. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of AKI. Logistic regression analysis and restricted cubic spline were used to evaluate the relationship between RAR and AKI incidence in AP patients. Subgroup analyses wer
