“…Demir et al studied RDW and its relation with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in 138 subjects and found increased RDW in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis compared to healthy controls. 9 The hemoglobin levels of the subjects were not significantly different from controls in their study and thus iron deficiency anemia, a possible confounder was ruled out. In another study in literature, authors found that systemic lupus erythematosus patients had increased RDW compared to healthy individuals.…”

“…9,11,12 Many studies have shown a correlation between higher RDW values and prognosis, but these studies were about cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, chronic renal failure, liver disease, pancreatitis and venous thromboembolism. [13][14][15][16][17] Kurt et al showed a correlation of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and higher RDW values in 320 patients. 13 Demir et al conducted a study of 37 patients with cerebral sinus thrombosis and 101 patients with primary headache with a total of 138 patients.…”

“…17 RDW is used to show the severity and prognosis of various diseases, and has been found to have the above-mentioned qualities. [13][14][15][16][17] Wang et al showed higher mortality rates with RDW values > 13.4%. 17 In our study, we found sensitivity of 88.2% and specificity of 91.8%, with a cut-off value of 14.35% in ROC analysis.…”

Background. Acute pancreatitis (AP) is inflammation of the pancreas of various severity ranging from mild abdominal pain to mortality. AP may be classified as acute interstitial edematous pancreatitis (AEP) or acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP), according to the revised Atlanta criteria. Most of the patients with AP are AEP (75-85% of patients), while 15-25% of patients have ANP. The mortality rate is 3% in AEP and 15% in ANP. Thus, it is important to predict the severity of AP to decrease the morbidity and mortality.

“…RDW indicates heterogeneity and equivalent of anisocytosis of red blood cell. It was documented that high levels of RDW predicts elevated red blood cell destruction in iron, folate, and vitamin B12 deficiency [19][20][21]. Eventually, different-sized erythrocytes may be expressed and elevated RDW may result in increased RPR.…”

Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between vitamin B12 deficiency and red cell distribution widthplatelet ratio (RPR), and the variations in the parameters on vitamin B12 treatment.Methods: One hundred fifty-four patients with untreated vitamin B12 deficiency (56% men, mean age: 50 ± 12.7 years) (untreated group), 86 patients with vitamin B12 deficiency (62% men, mean age: 42 ± 20.7 years) on vitamin B12 treatment (treated group), and 92 age-and sex-matched control group (54% men, mean age: 45 ± 15.1 years) were included in the study. Hematological parameters were evaluated by the method of laser-based flow cytometric impedance, using an automated blood cell counter (ABX Pentra 120 Hematology Blood Analyzer).Results: RPR was significantly reduced in treated group compared with untreated group (4.88 ± 1.06; 6.13 ± 1.27; p<0.001, respectively). RPR, red cell distribution width (RDW) and mean platelet volume (MPV) were significantly different in untreated group compared to controls (p<0.05). There were no differences in platelet count in the three groups (p>0.05). Conclusion:We proposed that vitamin B12 deficiency has effects on RPR and supplementation with vitamin B12 corrects the RPR levels. Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 154 tedavi olmamış vitamin B12 hastası (%56'sı erkek, ort. yaş: 50 ± 12,7) (tedavi olmayan grup), 86 vitamin B12 eksikliği olan ve tedavi alan hastalar (%62'si erkek, ortalama yaş: 42 ± 20,7) (tedavi alan grup) ve 92 yaş ve cinsiyet uyumlu kontrol grubu (%54'ü erkek, ort. yaş: 45 ± 15,1 yıl) dahil edildi. Hematolojik parametreler, lazer tabanlı akım sitometri empedansı yöntemiyle otomatik kan hücre sayıcıyla (ABX Pentra 120 Hematology Blood Analyzer) ölçüldü.Bulgular: RPR, tedavi alan grupta tedavi almayan gruba göre anlamlı olarak düşük tespit edildi (4,88 ± 1,06; 6,13 ± 1,27; p<0.001, sırasıyla). RPR, eritrosit dağılım genişliği ve ortalama trombosit hacmi tedavi almayan grupta kontrol grubuyla karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı fark vardı (p<0.05). Üç grup arasında, trombosit sayılarıyla anlamlı fark yoktu (p>0.05).
