INTRODUCTION: The erythrocyte distribution width (RDW) reflects the variability in the size of red blood cells and is linked to inflammatory diseases. In sepsis, increased RDW can compromise red blood cell function and contribute to organ dysfunction, being associated with increased mortality. OBJECTIVE: Determine the value of erythrocyte distribution width (RDW) considered a predictor of severity and mortality from neonatal sepsis at Adolfo Guevara Velasco EsSALUD-Cusco National Hospital, 2020-2023. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It is a case-control study. The sample was made up of 260 (173 cases and 87 controls) who were selected using the inclusion and exclusion criteria, in a 2:1 ratio of cases to controls. Data analysis was performed using cross tables using the SBSS program version 29.0.1.0. RESULTS: The results show a relationship between erythrocyte distribution width (RDW) greater than 16.5% and cases of neonatal sepsis with statistical significance (OR = 6.192, p = 0.006 and CI: 1.421-26.977). It was found that an erythrocyte distribution width greater than 16.5% was associated with a considerable increase in the risk of developing severe sepsis (OR = 4.634, p < 0.001 and CI: 2.240-9.589) and septic shock (OR = 6.192, p = 0.006 and CI: 1.421-26.977), in addition to an association between the erythrocyte distribution width greater than 16.5%. and mortality in neonatal sepsis (OR = 4.631, p = 0.028 and CI: 1.045-20.525) was statistically significant, which increased as the value of the erythrocyte distribution width widened. CONCLUSIONS: High erythrocyte distribution width (>16.5%) is a predictor of severity (severe sepsis, septic shock) as well as mortality.
