Relationship between the red cell distribution width-to-platelet ratio and in-hospital mortality among critically ill patients with acute myocardial infarction: a retrospective analysis of the MIMIC-IV database

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We aimed to investigate the association between red cell distribution width-to-platelet ratio (RPR), and in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Design

A retrospective cohort study.

Setting

Data were collected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care database (MIMIC-IV) consisting of critically ill participants between 2008 and 2019 at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre in Boston.

Participants

A total of 5067 patients with AMI were enrolled from the MIMIC-IV database.

Primary and secondary outcome

In-hospital mortality.

Results

A total of 4034 patients survived, while 1033 died. In a multiple regression analysis adjusted for age, weight and ethnicity, RPR also
