Relationship between Red Cell Distribution width and Stroke in Patients with Stable Chronic Heart Failure: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis

Raised Red Cell Distribution Width as a Prognostic Tool for Acute Aluminium Phosphide Poisoning (AALPP) Patients

“…In this study, we found patients of aluminium phosphide toxicity shows various type RBC morphological degenerative changes 5,6,7,15 on peripheral blood smear have mild to marked type toxicity these various morphological changes cause the raised red cell distribution width use as a prognostic tool for survival index outcome of patients. Slow or fast recovery ,worst prognosis with very poor or delay recovery from illness is depend on RDW.…”

“…Slow or fast recovery ,worst prognosis with very poor or delay recovery from illness is depend on RDW. RBC shows various 8,12 types changes theses may be used as a prognostic tool 5,4 for severity of toxicity ,monitoring of patients and follow up of patients. WBC also shows changes but not use as a prognostic tool because all changes are uniform degenerative changes.…”

Prognostic Value of Red Cell Distribution Width in Patients with Organophosphate Poisoning

“…In recent studies, it has been shown that higher RDW levels are associated with poor prognosis in various conditions, such as heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary embolism, and pancreatitis (7)(8)(9). The exact mechanism underlying the increase in RDW levels has not been defined yet; however, it has been reported that there may be deformation of erythrocyte membranes by acute or chronic inflammation (9).…”

Red Cell Distribution Width Is Related to Stroke in Patients With Heart Failure

“…1 They aimed to investigate the association between baseline red cell distribution width (RDW) level and the risk of stroke in patients with heart failure (HF). They concluded that RDW may be important hematological indices for stroke in patients with HF using propensity score analysis.…”

“…Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated using the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula in the current study. 1 The Cockcroft-Gault equation (CGE) is another method for calculating the GFR. However, the CGE may estimate lower GFR than that of the MDRD formula in younger age groups, but it can measure higher GFR in older individuals compared with the MDRD formula.…”
