“…When comparing the highest quartile (Q4) to the lowest quartile (Q1), the odds ratio (OR) was 1.62, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.17–2.22, p = 0.003. We observed a linear relationship between RDW and in-hospital mortality, which remained consistent in subgroup analysis.ConclusionsOur data suggest that RDW is positively associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with both congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. …”
