Article Synopsis
- The study examines how the hemoglobin-to-red blood cell distribution width (RDW) ratio (HRR) impacts the risk of dying within 30 days for patients with acute pancreatitis (AP), using data from a large medical database.
- It was found that higher HRR levels (especially in the first 24 hours) are associated with a lower risk of 30-day mortality, with specific HRR quartiles showing significant reductions in risk.
- Additionally, the HRR improves the predictive accuracy of existing assessment tools for evaluating 30-day mortality risk in AP patients.
