Predictive Value of Red Cell Distribution Width in the Diagnosis of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC)-Related Thrombosis Among Cancer Patients
Abstract:Purpose
This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of red cell distribution width (RDW) in patients with peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)-related thrombosis.
Patients and methods
This was a case‒control study. A total of 98 cancer patients undergoing PICC placement from January 2017 to December 2019 at the ICU Venous Access Center of Peking University Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. These included 47 cases in the thrombosis group an… Show more
