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
