Although red cell distribution width (RDW) has emerged as a biomarker of clinical prognostic
value across a variety of clinical settings in the last two decades, limited evidence is
available for its role in end-stage renal disease. We enrolled 313 incident patients
undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in this retrospective
observational study from 2006 to 2015. In the fully adjusted model of Cox regression
analysis, the adjusted hazard ratios for the high RDW group versus the low RDW group …

Objective To investigate the association of red cell distribution width (RDW) with all-cause
and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality in patients undergoing continuous
ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on
207 patients who initiated CAPD for more than 3 months between July 2005 and March
2016 in the First Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University. Baseline data on demographic,
clinical and biochemical variables as well as comorbidities were obtained; medications and …
