    Sepsis is a leading cause of death in intensive care units globally.

  • 2

    The red blood cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio (RAR) combines inflammation and nutritional status.

  • 3

    In a study of 13,888 sepsis patients, high RAR was linked to a significantly higher 28-day mortality rate.

  • 4

    Each unit increase in RAR correlated with an 8% higher risk of mortality.

  • 5

    Subgroup analyses showed consistent results across different age, sex, and comorbidity groups.
