The red cell distribution width (RDW) is a recognized prognostic marker in sepsis, yet its dynamic changes over time and their relationship with outcomes remain unexplored. This study aimed to identify distinct RDW trajectories during the early phase of sepsis and evaluate their association with mortality. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from the MIMIC-IV database (n=3,813) as the derivation cohort and from the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University (n=467) ...
