Zusammenfassung:BackgroundRed 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. MethodsWe 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. ResultsA total of 14,639 participants were included in this study. The mean age of the participants was 65.2 ± 16.3 years and the mean RAR was 5.5 ± 1.9 % /g/dl. For 28-day mortality, after adjusting for covariates, HRs [95% confidence intervals (CIs)] for tertiles 2 (4.4-5.8) and 3 (RAR > 5.8) were 1.33 (1.20, 1.46) and 1.98 (1.79, 2.19), respectively. Similar results were observed for 90-day mortality and in-hospital mortality. According to Kaplan-Meier curve analysis, the higher RAR group had higher 28-day mortality and 90-day mortality. ConclusionOur study shows that RAR is significantly associated with poor clinical prognosis in sepsis. The higher the RAR, the higher the 28-day, 90-day, and in-hospital mortality.
