Background and Objectives : Hip fractures in the elderly pose a considerable health risk and cause concern. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a valuable marker for identifying patients at high risk of age-related mortality and various disorders and diseases. However, its association with poor patient outcomes following hip fractures has yet to be fully established. Hence, the purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate and gain a better understanding of the relationship between RDW levels and the risk of mortality after hip fractures...

Background and Objectives. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the intrahepatic biliary tract cancers are estimated to rank sixth for incidence among solid cancers worldwide, and third for mortality rates. A critical issue remains the need for accurate biomarkers for risk stratification and overall prognosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of a biomarker of heterogeneity of the size of red blood cells, the red cell distribution width (RDW), to predict survival in patients with HCC. Materials and Methods...

This is an observational retrospective study on 85 client-owned dogs, 60 with IBD and 25 clinically healthy dogs. This study aims to assess the clinical relevance of some easy to obtain and cost-effective hematological parameters including red blood cell distribution width (RDW), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in dogs with IBD. Comparison of clinical and laboratory parameters between dogs with IBD and control dogs was carried out and the ability to distinguish between these two groups of dogs was evaluated by calculating the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUCROC)...

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and serositis. Blood-based biomarkers determined in FMF patients during attack-free periods could be used to predict the risk of amyloidosis and the severity of the disease. The recently defined pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) comprises four distinct subsets of blood cells and serves as an easily accessible and cost-effective marker. The objective of this study was to assess the role of PIV in predicting amyloidosis and moderate-to-severe disease...

BACKGROUND: For compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) patients, the first decompensation represents a dramatically worsening prognostic event. Based on the first decompensation event (DE), the transition to decompensated advanced chronic liver disease (dACLD) can occur through two modalities referred to as acute decompensation (AD) and non-AD (NAD), respectively. Clinically Significant Portal Hypertension (CSPH) is considered the strongest predictor of decompensation in these patients...

Many prognostic factors have been identified in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this study, we investigated the novel prognostic biomarkers using machine learning and cox regression models in a prospective cohort of 591 AML patients and tried to identify potential therapeutic targets based on transcriptomic data. We found that elevated red blood cell distribution width (RDW) at diagnosis was an adverse prognostic factor for AML independent of 2022 European LeukemiaNet (ELN2022) genetic risk. As a continuous variable, higher RDW was associated with shorter OS (HR 1...

OBJECTIVES: Xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP) is the most common type of cutaneous xanthoma, characterized by yellowish cutaneous plaques commonly located near the medial canthus of the eyelid. Although dyslipidemia significantly contributes to its development, inflammation is also believed to be another element in the pathogenesis, especially in normolipidemic patients. Recently, cell counts derived from complete blood counts have been identified as indicators of systemic inflammatory conditions and have also been under discussion concerning their relevance to ocular diseases...

BACKGROUND: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is calculated in every blood count test and reflects variability in erythrocyte size. High levels mirror dysregulated erythrocyte homeostasis and have been associated with clonal hematopoiesis as well as higher mortality in several conditions.We aimed to determine the impact of preprocedural RDW levels on functional outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
