Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among elderly patients especially for patients in ICU. Previous studies revealed the impact of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) on predicting onset of AF. However, the prognostic value of RDW in critically ill patients with AF remains largely unknown. Thus, this study aims to explore the potential value on predicting in- and out-of-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with AF.
