“…Various factors are associated with perioperative strokes, including advanced age, prior (21). Increased RDW is also associated the high risk of the development cryptogenic stroke, irrespectively of anemia and inflammation (22). The identification of high-risk patients using RDW might facilitate preventive measures and reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.…”

Introduction:There are several studies about the mortality of the CABG patients with the importance of the inflammation. The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between RDW and in-hospital mortality in CABG patients.Methods: A total of 346 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting operation were analyzed for our study. Preoperative 2 ml blood sample was put into tubes for evaluation all patients complete blood count. All patients underwent same anesthesia protocol. The type of CABG procedure (off-pump vs on-pump CABG) was determined by the operation team. Results:There was ten patients died in-hospital period (Group 1) and three hundred and thirty-six patients lived during in hospital follow up (Group 2). WBC (10.8 ± 5.2 x 103 vs 7.9 ± 2.2 x 103 p: 0.04), Neutrophil (7.3 ± 3 x 103 vs 5.1 ± 2 x 103 p: 0.03), N/L Ratio (4.8 ± 2.6 % vs 2.7 ± 1.6 % p: 0.01) and RDW (14.8 ± 1.6 % vs 13.9 ± 6.6 %, p: 0.002) values were higher in group 1 than group 2, respectively. A logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that only RDW (OR 1.860, 95% CI 1.105-3.132; p: 0.02) was an independent predictor of the development of mortality in-hospital period in CABG patients. Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the first report of an association between RDW and the development postoperative mortality in CABG patients.

“…A case-control study suggests that RDW is also related with ischemic stroke, and higher RDW increased the risk of ischemic stroke (Ramirez-Moreno et al, 2013). Another case-control study shows that RDW > 14% increased the risk of CS by 2.5-fold, irrespective of anemia, inflammation or lipid profile (Vaya et al, 2014). A national representative study from American adults suggests that higher RDW level (fourth vs. first quartile) among stroke patients independently predicted subsequent cardiovascular death (HR = 2.38 and 95% CI: 1.41-4.01) and all-cause death (HR = 2.0, 95% CI: 1.25-3.20) (Ani & Ovbiagele, 2009).…”

“…Vayá et al evaluated the correlation between RDW and stroke in 163 patients hospitalized due to cryptogenic stroke and 186 healthy subjects who were adjusted according to age, sex, anemia, lipid profile, and other potential confounders. They found that a high RDW was associated with the increase risk of cryptogenic stroke . Moreover, in a study on 847 patients with a first‐ever episode of acute cerebral infarction it was found that high value of RDW was correlated with adverse functional outcome .…”

The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is an index of the heterogeneity of circulating red blood cell size, which along with other standard complete blood count (CBC) parameters are used to identify hematological system diseases. Besides hematological disorders, several clinical studies have shown that an increased in the RDW may be associated with other diseases including acute pancreatitis, chronic kidney disease, gastrointestinal disorders, cancer, and of special interest in this review, cardiovascular disease (CVD). The diagnostic and prognostic value of RDW in different CVD (acute coronary syndrome, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and acute ischemic stroke) has been reviewed in this article, to provide an understanding how its measurement may be applied to improve the management of these conditions.
