Cohort study investigates the link between RAR and cardiovascular outcomes in MASLD patients, indicating increased risk.

Key Points

This study aims to explore how the red blood cell distribution width to albumin ratio (RAR) relates to cardiovascular outcomes in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Cohort study utilizing NHANES data
Participants with MASLD categorized by RAR levels
Regression models and machine learning employed for analysis
Higher RAR significantly associated with lower life's crucial 9 score (β = −3.59, 95% CI: −4.46 to −2.73)
Increased odds of prevalent cardiovascular disease (OR = 1.88, 95% CI: 1.34 to 2.64)
Positive associations with all-cause mortality (HR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.69 to 2.69) and cardiovascular mortality (HR = 3.05, 95% CI: 1.71 to 5.42)
