Increased red cell distribution width (RDW), a marker of anisocytosis, has been associated with adverse outcomes in multiple settings. Whether RDW is predictive of mortality in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) is unknown. We studied 13,039 consecutive outpatients (age 69.5 ±12.0 years, 60.9% men, 97.6% white) with PAD identified by non-invasive lower-extremity arterial testing at Mayo Clinic from 1/97 to 12/07, with follow-up through 9/09. We defined PAD as low (≤0.9) or high (≥1.4) ankle-brachial index (ABI). Cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities were ascertained using electronic medical record (EMR)-based algorithms. RDW was obtained from the complete blood count drawn around the time of arterial evaluation. Mortality was ascertained using the Mayo EMR and Accurint® database. The association of RDW with all-cause mortality was analyzed by multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression. During a median follow-up of 5.5 years, 4039 (31.0 %) deaths occurred (28.7% in low and 38.9% in high ABI subsets). After adjustment for age, sex, cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities, patients in the highest quartile of RDW (>14.5%) had 66% greater risk of mortality compared to the lowest quartile (<12.8%) (P<0.0001); a 1% increment in RDW was associated with 10% greater risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio, 1.10, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08 to 1.12, P<0.0001). The adjusted hazard ratio was similar in the low (1.10, 1.08-1.12) and high (1.09, 1.06-1.12) ABI subsets. In conclusion, RDW, a routinely available measure, is an independent prognostic marker in patients with PAD.
