Association between red blood cell distribution width to albumin ratio and prognosis of patients with sepsis: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) to albumin ratio (RAR) is associated with poor prognosis in diabetic comorbidities and cancer. However, the association between RAR and prognosis in patients with sepsis remains unclear, which was investigated in this study.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) IV version 2.0 database. The primary outcome of this study was 28-day mortality. Secondary outcomes included 90-day mortality, in-hospital mortality, length of hospital stay, and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Multivariate regression analysis and subgroup analysis were performed to investigate the association between RAR and prognosis in patients with sepsis.
