Hemoglobin-to-red cell distribution width ratio and sleep duration as predictors of pneumonia: Evidence from NHANES 2011–2018 [PDF]
Journal of International Medical ResearchObjective Pneumonia remains a significant global health burden; however, accessible and robust predictors of community screening are limited. This study aimed to investigate the individual and synergistic associations of the hemoglobin-to-red cell ...

Red cell distribution width and cerebral white matter hyperintensity [PDF]
Scientific ReportsRed cell distribution width (RDW) is an indicator of red blood cell size heterogeneity and may reflect underlying chronic hypoxemia or inflammation. While RDW has been associated with the prognosis of various pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases, its ...

Red Cell Distribution Width and Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients [PDF]
American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2016 Red cell distribution width (RDW) is an index of red blood cell volume variability that has historically been used as a marker of iron deficiency anemia. More recently, studies have shown that elevated RDW is associated with higher mortality risk in the general population.

Red cell distribution width in patients with prehypertension and hypertension
Blood Pressure, 2012 Red cell distribution width (RDW) which is reported as part of complete blood count in routine clinical practice, is a measure of variability in size of the erythrocytes in the circulation. It is a novel predictor of mortality both in unselected populations and in some selected group of patients. We aimed to search whether RDW values differ between the

Red cell distribution width and cancer [PDF]
Annals of Translational Medicine, 2016 Red cell distribution width (RDW) is an index which primarily reflects impaired erythropoiesis and abnormal red blood cell survival. In last years the interest in this marker has considerably grown and now a lot of data are available indicating that this simple and inexpensive parameter is a strong and independent risk factor for death in the general ...

Red cell distribution width in subclinical hypothyroidism [PDF]
Arquivos Brasileiros de Endocrinologia & Metabologia, 2014 We have read the article “The value of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) in subclinical hypothyroidism” by Hea Min Yu and cols. (). They aimed to investigate the relationship between the subclinical hypothyroidism and RDW levels in a healthy population.

The clinical significance of changes in red blood cell distribution width in patients with community-acquired pneumonia [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Emergency Medicine, 2016 Objective Red cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with mortality in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). However, little is known about the effect of changes in RDW during treatment on mortality. Thus, the objective of this study was
