Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a predictor of adverse outcomes in aortic aneurysms. Recent recommendations suggest that combining RDW with other biomarkers could yield better results. We, therefore, propose evaluating the biomarker of vascular aging, albumin with RDW to predict the risk of aortic aneurysms. This study aims to explore whether the combination of RDW with albumin can effectively predict the prognosis of aortic aneurysm patients.
