Red cell distribution width as a predictor of 1-year survival in ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis

Increased RDW predicted mortality and outcome after ischemic stroke however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Our study aimed to clarify the relation of RDW with stroke severity and 1-year survival.
