Background Red cell distribution width (RDW) is an emerging marker of inflammation and a
predictor of high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality as well as all-cause mortality. A …

AIM To determine RDW values and impact of CV and non-CV coexisting morbidities in
elderly patients hospitalized with chronic CVD. METHODS This prospective study included …

Background Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) strongly predicts clinical outcomes
among patients with coronary disease and heart failure. The factors underpinning this …

Background: Red cell distribution (RDW) has been suggested to be associated with
cardiovascular mortality and mortality. However, few studies have yet investigated the …

Introduction We examined the predictive ability of red cell distribution width (RDW) and the
change in RDW during hospitalization (Δ RDW) for length of stay (LOS) and 30‐day …

Red cell distribution width (RDW), a measure of heterogeneity in the size of circulating
erythrocytes, reportedly predicts mortality. Similarly to RDW, impaired renal function is also …

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been widely accepted for the treatment in patients with end
stage renal disease (ERSD). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in …

Background: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been found to be an independent
predictor for adverse outcome in patients with heart failure (HF), but there are no data on the …

Red blood cell distribution width (RDW), which is routinely reported in complete blood
counts, is a measure of the variability in size of circulating erythrocytes. RDW is a novel …

Aims A high red blood cell distribution width (RDW) at admission or discharge is associated
with a worse prognosis in hospitalized patients with heart failure (HF), and the prognostic …
