BACKGROUND: It is crucial to assess the severity of acute cholangitis (AC). There are currently several prognostic markers. However, the accuracies of these markers are not satisfied. The present study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the red cell distribution width (RDW)-to-albumin ratio (RAR) for the prognosis of AC.
METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated consecutive patients diagnosed with AC between May 2019 and March 2022. RAR was calculated, and its predictive ability for in-hospital mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, bacteremia, and the length of hospitalization were analyzed.
RESULTS: Out of 438 patients, 34 (7.8%) died. Multivariate analysis showed that malignant etiology [odds ratio (OR) = 4.816, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.936-11.980], creatinine (OR = 1.649, 95% CI: 1.095-2.484), and RAR (OR = 2.064, 95% CI: 1.494-2.851) were independent risk factors for mortality. When adjusted for relevant covariates, including age, sex, malignant etiology, Tokyo severity grading (TSG), Charlson comorbidity index, and creatinine, RAR significantly predicted mortality (adjusted OR = 1.833, 95% CI: 1.280-2.624). When the cut-off of RAR was set to 3.8, its sensitivity and specificity for mortality were 94.1% and 56.7%, respectively. Patients with an RAR of > 3.8 had a 20.9-fold (OR = 20.9, 95% CI: 4.9-88.6) greater risk of mortality than the remaining patients. The area under the curve value of RAR for mortality was 0.835 (95% CI: 0.770-0.901), which was significantly higher than that of TSG and the other prognostic markers, such as C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio, and procalcitonin-to-albumin ratio. Lastly, RAR was not inferior to TSG in predicting ICU admission, bacteremia, and the length of hospitalization.
CONCLUSIONS: RAR successfully predicted the in-hospital mortality, ICU admission, bacteremia, and the length of hospitalization of patients with AC, especially in-hospital mortality. RAR is a promising marker that is more convenient than TSG and other prognostic markers for predicting the prognosis of patients with AC.
