In a study involving 187 patients with peptic ulcer perforation, the red cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio (RAR) was found to be a strong prognostic marker for predicting major postoperative complications and 30-day mortality. The analysis revealed RAR, alongside age and surgical delay, as independent predictors of complications, with RAR demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity (AUC 0.883 for complications; AUC 0.944 for mortality). These findings highlight RAR’s potential in clinical practice as a reliable indicator when assessing risks.
