Prognostic Validity of Red Cell Distribution Width in Neonatal Sepsis
Background Neonatal sepsis is one of the most critical illness in neonates that is responsible for a great proportion of morbidity and mortality in neonates so early diagnosis and identification of high risk cases is a challenging aim of our study. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of red cell distribution width (RDW), in neonatal sepsis at the time of admission ...
متن کاملRed blood cell distribution width as a prognostic marker in patients with heart failure and diabetes mellitus
BACKGROUND Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is an established prognostic marker in acute and chronic heart failure (HF). Recent studies have pointed out a link among RDW, diabetes mellitus (DM) and inflammation. We sought to investigate the prognostic value and longitudinal pattern of RDW in patients with concomitant HF and DM, which remains unknown. METHODS A total of 218 patients (71...
متن کاملRed blood cell distribution width is a significant prognostic marker in advanced heart failure, independent of hemoglobin levels.
INTRODUCTION Advanced heart failure (HF) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality; traditionally used prognostic factors often fail to predict the outcome. Increased red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has recently been recognized as an important unfavorable prognostic factor in HF, independent of anemia; however, the role of RDW in patients with advanced HF has not yet been inv...
متن کاملRed blood cell distribution width adds prognostic value for outpatients with chronic heart failure.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Red blood cell distribution width has emerged as a new prognostic biomarker in cardiovascular diseases. Its additional value in risk stratification of patients with chronic heart failure has not yet been established. METHODS A total of 698 consecutive outpatients with chronic heart failure were studied (median age 71 years [interquartile range, 62-77], 63% male, le...
متن کاملElevated Red Cell Distribution Width as a Prognostic Marker in Severe Sepsis: A Prospective Observational Study
INTRODUCTION Sepsis is a dysregulated host response to infection resulting in potentially life-threatening organ dysfunction. Elevation in red cell distribution width (RDW), a simple routinely done investigation, could be a prognostic marker in these patients. METHODS Between January 2014 and June 2015, 200 patients with severe sepsis at admission were prospectively evaluated for association ...
