Association between red cell distribution width—albumin ratio and all-cause mortality in intensive care unit patients with heart failure by Ni Li, Junling Li, Kai Wang

“…Multivariate adjusted Cox regression and subgroup analysis demonstrated that individuals in Q2 [hazard ratio (HR) 1.15, 95%CI 0.98–1.34], Q3 (HR 1.65, 95%CI 1.39–1.96) and Q4 (HR 2.16, 95%CI 1.74–2.68) had an increased risk of mortality compared to individuals in Q1 (p for trend < 0.001), and this relationship was consistently observed across most subgroups, except for different ages. Subsequent analysis revealed that the inclusion of RAR significantly improved the prognostic value on the basis of SOFA and APACHE Ⅱ, and the concordance index increased from 0.636 to 0.658 for SOFA, from 0.682 to 0.695 for APACHE Ⅱ (p < 0.001 for both).ConclusionThe study found that high level of RAR was independently associated with an increased risk of 1-year all-cause mortality in ICU patients with heart failure, with a stronger effect in young and middle-aged patients and a threshold effect, which could potentially serve as an early warning indicator for high-risk populations.…”
