The correlation and predictive value of Hb, RDW and their association for short-term and long-term mortality in patients with acute aortic dissection by Peng Hou, Peng Hou, Lin Xia, Fangran Xin, Boxuan Sun, Guoxin Zhang, Liming Yu, Huishan Wang

“…Additionally, subgroup analyses and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were conducted to evaluate the predictive accuracy of Hb, RDW and their association for mortality in this patient population.ResultsHigh RDW combined with low Hb (RDW ≥ 13.60 and Hb &lt; 7.9) significantly predicted increased mortality at 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, and 5 years post-diagnosis, with hazard ratios (HRs) as follows: 4.33 (95% CI: 1.82–10.33, P &lt; 0.001), 4.48 (95% CI: 2.06–9.77, P &lt; 0.001), 3.38 (95% CI: 1.70–6.70, P &lt; 0.001), and 3.07 (95% CI: 1.66–5.66, P &lt; 0.001), respectively.ConclusionHb and RDW are both abnormal (Hb with low level, RDW with high level) is positively correlated with 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, and 5 years mortality risk in patients with AAD. …”
