Title: Association of Red Blood Cell Distribution Width with Short- and Long-Term All-Cause
Mortality in Patients with Acute Pancreatitis and Sepsis
Version: 2 Date: 02 Jun 2025
Reviewer's report:
I Thank the editor and authors for inviting me to review the manuscript titled “Association of Red
Blood Cell Distribution Width with Short- and Long-Term All-Cause Mortality in Patients with
Acute Pancreatitis and Sepsis: A Retrospective Analysis based on the MIMIC-IV database”.
The manuscript presents a well-defined research question and provides a comprehensive review
of the relevant literature. However, there are several issues that need to be addressed before the
manuscript can be published.
Abstract
1. It is recommended to include the HR (Hazard Ratio) and confidence interval for the results.
Introduction
1. we addressed the prognostic value of RDW by examining its impact on patients with AP and
sepsis.-> It is recommended to change impact to association.
Materials and methods
1. Have diseases that affect RDW, such as anemia, been excluded?
Results
3.3 Cox regression models
1. It is recommended to include the HR (Hazard Ratio) and confidence interval for the different
endpoints.
2. What are the criteria for covariate adjustment? Is there a risk of over adjustment?
