Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) is a predictor of mortality in the general population. The prevalence of increased RDW and its significance in the intensive care unit are unknown. To investigate the association between RDW at the initiation of critical care and all cause mortality Multicenter observational study Two tertiary academic hospitals in Boston, Massachusetts 51,413 patients, age ≥ 18 years, who received critical care between 1997 and 2007 The exposure of interest was RDW and categorized a priori in quintiles as ≤13.3%, 13.3–14.0%, 14.0–14.7%, 14.7–15.8%, and >15.8%. Logistic regression examined death by days 30, 90 and 365 post-critical care initiation, in-hospital mortality and bloodstream infection. Adjusted odds ratios were estimated by multivariable logistic regression models. Adjustment included age, sex, race, Deyo-Charlson index, CABG, MI, CHF, hematocrit, WBC, MCV, BUN, red blood cell transfusion, sepsis and creatinine. None RDW was a particularly strong predictor of all cause mortality 30 days following critical care initiation with a significant risk gradient across RDW quintiles following multivariable adjustment: RDW 13.3–14.0% OR 1.19 (95% CI, 1.08–1.30; P<0.001); RDW 14.0–14.7% OR 1.28 (95% CI, 1.16–1.42; P<0.001); RDW 14.7–15.8% OR 1.69 (95% CI, 1.52–1.86; P<0.001); RDW > 15.8% OR 2.61 (95% CI, 2.37–2.86; P<0.001); all relative to patients with RDW ≤13.3%. Similar significant robust associations post multivariable adjustments are seen with death by days 90 and 365 post-critical care initiation as well as in-hospital mortality. In a sub-analysis of patients with blood cultures drawn (n= 18,525), RDW at critical care initiation was associated with the risk of bloodstream infection and remained significant following multivariable adjustment. The adjusted risk of bloodstream infection was 1.40- and 1.44-fold higher in patients with RDW values in the 14.7–15.8% and >15.8% quintiles, respectively, compared with those with RDW ≤13.3%. Estimating the ROC AUC shows that RDW has moderate discriminative power for 30-day mortality (AUC = 0.67). RDW is a robust predictor of the risk of all cause patient mortality and bloodstream infection in the critically ill. RDW is commonly measured, inexpensive and widely available and may reflect overall inflammation, oxidative stress, or arterial underfilling in the critically ill.
