The Relation Between Preoperative Red Cell Distribution Width and Early Postoperative Mortality in Patients with Gastric Cancer

Abstract

AIM: In our study we aimed to investigate whether the preoperative red cell distribution width measurement can predict the early postoperative mortality within the fi rst 30 days in patients with gastric cancer. METHODS: The records of gastric cancer patients operated be GirișMide kanseri (MK) tüm dünyada kanser ölümlerinin en sık ikinci sebebidir. Tanı sırasında hastaların 2/3'ü tümörün rezeksiyonu için uygun değildirler 1 . Tanı ve tedavideki gelişmeler doğrultusunda mide kanserine bağlı ölüm oranları giderek azalmasına rağmen, halen

Relationship between red blood cell distribution width, bilirubin, and clinical characteristics of patients with gastric cancer

“…Therefore, further prospective cohort studies are needed to validate the prognostic value of RDW in GC. Notably, two recently published studies with retrospective design have shown that increased RDW was associated with poor outcomes of among patients with GC . Nevertheless, compared with these studies, the present study has several advantages.…”

“…However, increasing studies showed that RDW is a valuable index for estimating the disease activity/severity or prognosis of many nonhematology diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, liver diseases, and cancers . Nevertheless, reports concerning the association between RDW and GC are limited …”
