Red blood cell distribution width–albumin ratio: a promising predictor of outcome in heart failure patients—a 6-year cohort study

CWConglin WangXNXiaojing NiuYBYaping Bao

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the red blood cell distribution width–albumin ratio as a predictor of outcomes in heart failure patients.
  • Conducted a 6-year cohort study on heart failure patients
  • Measured red blood cell distribution width and albumin levels
  • Analyzed the association between RAR levels and patient prognosis
  • Elevated RAR levels correlated with higher risk of heart failure rehospitalization
  • Higher RAR levels were linked to increased all-cause mortality
  • RAR demonstrated potential for risk stratification in heart failure management

Abstract

Elevated RAR levels are independently associated with a worse prognosis in HF patients, including higher risks of HF re-hospitalization and all-cause mortality. The RAR holds promise as a valuable tool for risk stratification and prognosis assessment in HF management.
