Why the study?
The prognostic value of the red blood cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio across glucose metabolism status in patients with stable coronary artery disease had not been previously explored.
Does a higher red blood cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio predict major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with stable coronary artery disease?
Does a higher red blood cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio predict major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with stable coronary artery disease?
Higher red blood cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio is a significant predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with stable coronary artery disease, particularly those with abnormal glucose regulation or diabetes.

Higher RAR may aid MACE risk assessment in stable CAD; leaves open incremental value over standard models.
