Prognostic utility of red blood cell distribution width-based ratios and their individual components for mortality prediction in dogs with acute pancreatitis
Introduction Prognostic assessment is critical in dogs with acute pancreatitis (AP). Composite biomarkers such as the red blood cell distribution width (RDW)-to-albumin ratio (RAR) and hemoglobin-to-RDW ratio (HRR) have shown prognostic value in human critical care but have not been evaluated in canine AP. Methods A re...
