Red cell distribution width associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease

Table 2 Association between RDW and risk of major composite cardiovascular outcomes in various adjustment models

Model	Presence of RDW ≥ 14.5%
Model	HR	95% CI of HR	P value
Model 1, unadjusted model	3.22	2.01–5.15	<0.001
Model 2, adjusted for age, gender	3.15	1.94–5.12	<0.001
Model 3, further adjusted for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking	3.14	1.92–5.13	<0.001
Model 4, further adjusted for total cholesterol, HDL, Systolic BP	3.25	1.99–5.31	<0.001
Model 5, further adjusted for hemoglobin, albumin	2.83	1.70–4.70	<0.001
Model 6, further adjusted for creatinine, LVEF	2.58	1.54–4.32	<0.001
