Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) as the Effect Modifiers to Modify the Association Between Red Blood Cell Distribution Width (RDW) and Mortality in Critically Ill Patients With Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Few studies have evaluated the impact of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) on prognosis for critically ill patients with acute stroke according to recent studies. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between RDW and mortality in these patients.

Methods

Clinical data were extracted from the eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD) and analyzed. The exposure of interest was RDW measured at admission. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Binary logistic regression models and interaction testing were performed to examine the RDW-mortality relationship and effect modification by acute myocardial infarction and hypertension (HP).

Results

Data from 10,022 patients were analyzed. In binary logistic regressio
