Nonlinear association between red cell distribution width/albumin ratio and peripheral arterial disease in the NHANES: a cross-section study with propensity score matching analysis by Jinmin Cao, Zhixiong Deng, Li Xiang, Feng Wang, Ting Yang

“…The objective of this study was to elucidate the relationship between RDW/ALB and PAD and to provide novel insights into the prevention and treatment of PAD.MethodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study leveraged data from the NHANES data (1999–2004) identifying PAD using ankle-brachial index measurements (&lt;0.90). The association with PAD was assessed using multivariable logistic regression, complemented by a restricted cubic spline for nonlinearity, and propensity score methods for robustness checks, including propensity score matching and subgroup analyses.ResultsThis study included 6,421 participants, 452 of whom had PAD. …”
