Association Between the Red Cell Distribution Width‐to‐Albumin Ratio and Pediatric Community‐Acquired Pneumonia

Key Points

• The research assesses the prognostic significance of the red cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio in pediatric cases of community-acquired pneumonia.
• Evaluated the correlation of red cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio with clinical outcomes in children diagnosed with CAP.
• Employed statistical analyses to determine associations between RAR levels and adverse outcomes.
• High levels of the red cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio are significantly linked to poorer clinical outcomes in pediatric pneumonia.
• RAR may serve as an effective, easily obtainable biomarker for risk assessment in children with CAP.
