摘要
红细胞体积分布宽度(RDW)传统应用于贫血的诊断和鉴别诊断。近年来有研究者报道RDW与贫血以外的多种临床情况下患者的不良预后有关,RDW不仅是一种新型的心血管事件危险标志物,可独立预测心血管事件的发生与预后,其与ICU患者的预后也密切相关,甚至可预测一般人群的病死率。RDW有望成为一种能够预测多种临床不良事件及一般人群病死率的新型危险预测因子。
Red blood cell distribution width(RDW) is traditionally used in diagnosis and differential diagnosis for anemia. Recent studies have shown that higher RDW is associated with poor prognosis in patients with different clinical settings. Here reviews several studies about RDW correlation with the mortality of significant cardiovascular disease, ICU patients and general population. RDW might be a novel predictor of multiple clinical events and mortality of the general population.
