Abstract

Background: Red cell distribution width (RDW) has emerged as a novel biomarker associated with adverse outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease. We aimed to determine prognostic significance of pre-procedural RDW levels on long-term all-cause mortality following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis due to limited evidence on impact of RDW levels in TAVR patients. Methods: We systematically reviewed articles on pre-procedural RDW and long-term ACM post-TAVR until December 2023 using PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, and Scopus. Binary random effects model was used to calculate pooled adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and subgroup analysis was performed. I2 statistics were used to determine heterogeneity of studies. Leave one out sensitivity analysis was done to evaluate each study's effect on overall estimate and analysis robustness. Results: A total of 7 studies with 3486 patients aged between 70-90 years were included and > 55 % were females. High pre-procedural RDW was found to be an independent predictor of long-term ACM (aOR 1.86, 95% CI 1.38 - 2.51, p <0.01). This association is even more prominent when age < 80 years vs. > 80 years (aOR 2.05, 95% CI 1.45 -2.90, p <0.01 vs. aOR 1.75, 95% CI 1.20 - 2.55, p <0.01). When comparing pre-procedural RDW levels, we also found that higher levels were associated with increased odds of long-term ACM (aOR 1.93, 95% CI 1.53 - 2.43, p <0.01). Conclusions: Our study indicated that elevated baseline RDW is an independent predictor of long-term ACM post-TAVR. Further studies are needed
