Objective The predictive value of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) in patients in the
coronary care unit (CCU) remains unknown. This study aimed to examine the prognostic …

Risk stratification in cardiac surgery is a relevant issue. Many mortality risk models are
currently available [1, 2], and they are used to assess risk of operative mortality, and to …

Background Data regarding the association between red cell distribution width (RDW)
values and mortality in patients with stable coronary artery disease are scarce. We aimed to …
