All participants were followed up every 4 weeks for 12 months. According to the tertiles of RAR, participants were divided into three groups: low-level (≤ 0.36, n = 152), moderate-level (0.37– 0.44, n = 152), and high-level (≥ 0.45, n = 151). The relationship between RAR and the risk of rehospitalization and rehospitalization all-cause mortality was evaluated.Results: Out of 455 participants, 156 experienced rehospitalization (34.3%), of which 44 (28.2%) died. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the RAR cut-off values for rehospitalization and rehospitalization all-cause mortality were 0.4251 and 0.4743, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that the RAR was positively associated with rehospitalization (P = 0.011) and all-cause mortality (P = 0.006). Compared with the low-level, the high-level RAR presented a higher dose-dependent rehospitalization risk (P = 0.02) and rehospitalization all-cause mortality (P = 0.044). The stratified analysis displayed that compared to the low-level, with the RAR increasing by 1.0, the risk for rehospitalization increased 3.602-fold in aged < 65 patients (P = 0.002) and 1.721-fold in female patients (P = 0.014). Kaplan–Meier survival analysis implied a significant positive association between the RAR and the cumulative incidence of rehospitalization and rehospitalization all-cause mortality (log-rank, all P < 0.001).Conclusion: RAR has a reliable predictive value for the risk of rehospitalization and rehospitalization all-cause mortality in patients with sepsis. Consequently, monitoring RAR for at least 1 year after surviving sepsis in female patients aged < 65 in clinical practice is critical.Keywords: sepsis, red blood cell distribution width, albumin, rehospitalization, rehospitalization all-cause mortality
