The prognostic role of Red blood cell Distribution Width in transfused and non-transfused critically ill patients.

CONCLUSIONS: High RDW values on ICU admission are independently associated with 90-day mortality in critically ill patients regardless of previous RBC transfusion. However, we identified two different cut-offs of "high RDW" to be used in ICU in transfused and non-transfused patients. PMID: 30994315 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
