We conducted this study to investigate whether red blood cell distribution width (RDW) was independently related to all-cause mortality of DIC patients.Methods: We used data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III version 1.4 (MIMIC-III v1.4). A total of 2098 patients with DIC were included. The main outcome was in-hospital all-cause mortality.Results: After adjusting for potential covariates, the in-hospital all-cause mortality was positively correlated with RDW. The hazard ratio (HR), 95% confidence intervals (CI), and P-value were 1.08, (1.05, 1.12), and P< 0.0001, respectively. The Kaplan–Meier curve found DIC patients with elevated RDW had a lower survival rate than patients with normal RDW (P< 0.0001). A nonlinear relationship between RDW and mortality was found with the inflection point 19.2%. When RDW < 19.2%, RDW was positively correlated with in-hospital all-cause mortality of DIC patients (HR (95% CI): 1.17 (1.11, 1.24), P< 0.0001). An elevation in RDW greater than 19.2% did not result in an additional increased risk of mortality (HR=0.97, 95% CI: 0.91– 1.04, P=0.4617).Conclusion: RDW is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in DIC patients. Furthermore, there is a nonlinear association between RDW and all-cause mortality of DIC patients.Keywords: red blood cell distribution width, disseminated intravascular coagulation, mortality, MIMIC-III, retrospective study
