Background. A potential independent association was recently demonstrated between high
red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with …

Background. Several investigators have sought risk factors for mortality in acute kidney
injury (AKI). However, no epidemiological studies have investigated the impact of red blood …

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication in the intensive care unit (ICU), which
may increase the mortality of critically ill patients. The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) …

Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a robust marker of adverse clinical outcomes in
various populations. However, the clinical significance of a progressive rise in RDW is …

Background Considering results among previous studies regarding the relationship of red
blood cell distribution width (RDW) and all-cause mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) …

Background Recently, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that RDW independently
predicts clinically important outcomes in many populations. However, the role of RDW has …

Background. Inflammation plays a key role in the pathophysiology and progression of acute
kidney injury (AKI). Red cell distribution width (RDW) to platelet ratio (RPR) is a novel …

Methods This is a single center, prospective longitudinal study. At the time of inclusion in
January 2011, all patients were physically examined and a routine blood analysis was …

Background Increased red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with adverse
outcomes in heart failure. In the present study, we assessed the association between …

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the red cell distribution
width (RDW) is a significant risk factor for hospital mortality in critically ill patients and to …
