Background: The association between hemoglobin-to-red blood cell distribution width ratio (HRR) and the depression in old adults was not clear.

Methods: We extracted data on depression, general characteristics, lifestyle, medical history, drug use, and blood indicators from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2018 to investigate the relationship between HRR and depression.

Results: A total of 4141 individuals were evaluated, among whom 266 (6.4 %) were identified as having depression. HRR was significantly lower in the low depression group, and Spearman correlation analysis revealed an inverse association between HRR and depression scores (r = -0.148, P < 0.001). Multiple linear regression showed that HRR was associated with depression after adjusted for general characteristics, life style, medical history, drug use and blood indicators (P = 0.010). ROC analysis demonstrated that in participants with depression, the area under the curve (AUC) for HRR was 0.612, surpassing both Hb(0.586) and RDW(0.401). These findings were statistically significant (P < 0.05).

Limitations: Only participants aged 65-79 years are selected for this study and this was a cross-sectional study that can only represent an association between HRR and depression, but not a cause-and-effect relationship.

Conclusions: HRR, being more potent than Hb or RDW, emerges as an independent risk factor for depression. It has the potential to facilitate early depression detection, aiding in the prevention of clinical deterioration or relapses, and could also serve as a viable treatment target.

Relationship Between the Hemoglobin-to-Red Cell Distribution Width Ratio and in-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure.

Vasc Health Risk Manag

December 2024

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Changde Hospital, Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University (The First People's Hospital of Changde City), Changde, 415003, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: Hemoglobin (Hb) levels and red cell distribution width (RDW) are standard and widely used parameters that predict clinical outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). The Hb to RDW ratio (HRR) provides an incremental clinical prediction, as it reflects the various clinical characteristics of patients. No published data exists in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) and eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD) databases on HRR and its association with in-hospital mortality among patients with CHF.

Numerous studies have suggested that the hemoglobin-to-red blood cell distribution width ratio (HRR) is associated with the onset, progression, and prognosis of various diseases. However, to the best of our knowledge, no research has conducted statistical analyses to determine the association between HRR and stroke. This cross-sectional study was conducted among adults with complete data on hemoglobin-red cell distribution width ratio (HRR) and stroke from the 2005-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

The hemoglobin-to-red blood cell distribution width ratio (HRR) is recognized as a novel prognostic biomarker; however, studies exploring its relationship with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are scarce. This study used data from the National Health and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database from 2005 to 2018. The analysis included individuals aged ≥ 20 years who had complete HRR and CKD data.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the relationship between the Hemoglobin-to-Red Cell Distribution Width Ratio (HRR) and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) or osteoporosis in adults over 50, using data from the NHANES database.
  • The results revealed that higher HRR is significantly associated with greater femoral BMD and a lower prevalence of osteoporosis, suggesting that a 1-unit increase in HRR significantly reduces osteoporosis risk.
  • The findings indicate that HRR could be a useful marker for assessing BMD and osteoporosis risk in older adults, highlighting the importance of maintaining higher HRR levels for osteoporosis prevention.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment for knee osteoarthritis; however, early readmissions due to complications are common. This study assessed the ability of the hemoglobin-to-red cell distribution width ratio (HRR), hemoglobin-to-monocyte ratio (HMR), and hemoglobin-to-leukocyte ratio (HLR) to predict readmission within 14 days after TKA.

Methods: Data from the Chang Gung Medical Research Database (CGRD) from 2014 to 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.
