Preoperatively elevated RDW-SD and RDW-CV predict favorable survival in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients after curative resection

Abstract: Background Recent studies suggest red blood cell distribution width (RDW) was a prognostic factor in various types of cancer patients, although the results are controversial. The objective of this study was to investigate the significance of RDW in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) after radical resection. Method The relationship between the preoperative serum RDW value and clinic pathological characteristics was analyzed in 157 I… Show more

“…In a research on intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, patients with low levels of RDW were more likely to be with poor survival after curative resection. 27 Another research in Turkey found that in most patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations, the values of RDW were under the normal range and lower RDW was associated with disease severity. 28 It could be partly explained by the differences in the general characteristics between the cohorts in different studies.…”

“…However, few studies concluded that lower RDW was associated with worse outcomes in some diseases. In a research on intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, patients with low levels of RDW were more likely to be with poor survival after curative resection 27 . Another research in Turkey found that in most patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations, the values of RDW were under the normal range and lower RDW was associated with disease severity 28 .…”

“…RDW is a routine complete blood count parameter that evaluates the variability in the size of erythrocytes in circulation. It is usually expressed as RDW-CV and RDW-SD, which is less influenced by other factors than the former [ 12 , 13 ]. In the last few years, numerous studies have consistently confirmed RDW-CV as a tool for the differential diagnosis of anemia.…”

“…RDW mainly reacts to the coefficient of variation of red blood cells and is affected by chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, nutrient deficiency, and other factors. RBC distribution width is now widely used for the prognostic diagnosis of COPD, 13 bile duct surgery, 14 and chronic heart failure 15 . In this study, we retrospectively analysed plasma procalcitonin concentration and red blood cell distribution width at admission to improve the diagnostic value for prognosis in severely burned patients.…”
