Red Blood Cell Distribution

Objective There is ample evidence to indicate that inflammation is involved in tumorigenesis. Lymphocyte percentage (LYM%) and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) are easily measured indicators of systemic inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the associations between LYM% and RDW and the risk of lung cancer. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the records of 430 patients with lung cancer and 158 healthy individuals (control group). Twenty clinical characteristics were analyzed, including LYM% and RDW. Significant laboratory indices were determined by univariate analysis and logistic regression was conducted to identify independent predictors of lung cancer risk. Results Patients with lung cancer had significantly lower LYM% and higher RDW levels compared with healthy controls. LYM% and RDW were confirmed to be independent predictors of lung cancer risk. LYM% also differed significantly among different histological subtypes of lung cancer. Conclusion A high risk of lung cancer was closely correlated with low LYM% and high RDW. LYM% and RDW are easily measured and may therefore aid the assessment and timely screening of lung cancer risk.

Purpose. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been regarded as an emerging biomarker of the general population and cardiovascular disease. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between RDW and diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods. This case-control study included 167 patients with DR, 131 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), and 170 age- and sex-matched healthy controls from April 2014 to May 2019. Demographic data, laboratory parameters, and ocular examinations were collected. Results. RDW values of the DR group were significantly higher than those of the healthy control ( p < 0.001 ) and DM group ( p = 0.002 ). A similar trend was observed when RDW was compared among the 3 groups with respect to age and gender. Logistic regression analysis has shown the OR of RDW was 3.791 (2.33–6.168; p < 0.001 ) against the control group and was 1.348 (0.997–1.823; p = 0.047 ) against the DM group. Conclusion. RDW values were significantly elevated in DR patients, and an elevated RDW was associated with an increased incidence of DR in patients with DM.

Abstract Background: The clinical significance of hemoglobin-to-red blood cell distribution width (Hb/RDW) for the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) has not been reported yet. This study aimed to evaluate the value of preoperative Hb/RDW, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) for the diagnosis of NPC.Methods: A total of 180 NPC patients (NPC group) and 149 healthy subjects (control group) were recruited to assess the value of Hb/RDW, NLR, and PLR for the diagnosis of NPC. Results: It was noted that NLR and PLR were significantly higher in the NPC group than those in the control group (P<0.001), however, Hb/RDW was lower in the NPC group compared with that in the control group (P<0.001). NLR was also remarkably different between patients of stageⅠ+Ⅱ and those of stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ (P=0.043), and that was different in patients with lymph node metastases or not(P=0.030). Besides, PLR was significantly different in patients with serosal invasion or not (P=0.031).Compared with Hb/RDW alone (sensitivity, 66.67%; specificity, 85.23%), the sensitivity (67.78%, 72.78%) and specificity (89.62%, 90.6%) of Hb/RDW with NLR and PLR were both increased. Furthermore, Hb/RDW combined with NLR (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) (AUC), 0.824; 95% confidence interval (CI):0.779-0.864, P=0.0080) or PLR (AUC:0.851, 95%CI:0.808-0.888, P=0.0002) had a greater AUC value for the diagnosis of NPC compared with Hb/RDW alone (AUC: 0.781, 95% CI: 0.732-0.824).Conclusion: Hb/RDW can be used as a valuable indicator for the diagnosis of NPC. Preoperative Hb/RDW combined with NLR or PLR had higher value for the diagnosis of NPC.

Abstract Background. Celiac disease (CD) is significantly underdiagnosed, despite significant efforts made in the last decades to increase its diagnostic rate. This has lead to a high need for developing new diagnostic strategies. Our aim was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of two routine hematologic indices for CD. Methods. In a prospective observational study, 34 newly diagnosed CD patients, 34 age-sex matched controls with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and 16 treated CD patients were assessed regarding the differences in mean lymphocyte count (LY), red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and their ratio (RDW/LY). Results. Elevated RDW (>14) and lymphopenia (<1.5 x 10e9/L) were more frequently seen in newly diagnosed CD patients compared to IBS control group and treated CD patients. Newly diagnosed CD patients had significantly higher mean values of RDW/LY - 10.09, compared to 7.72 in the CD-treated group and 6.79 in IBS controls (p<0.01). Subgroup analysis revealed that RDW/LY was higher in patients with destructive histology (Marsh≥3a), 10.54 vs. 7.99. For a value over 7, RDW/LY had a sensitivity of 88.24% (95% CI 72.55-96.70%) and AUROC of 0.785 (95% CI 0.683- 0.887). Conclusions. RDW/LY ratio is a widely available tool which could be used routinely in clinical practice for CD screening.

In order to explore the role of red blood cell distribution width in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding, this paper applies map feature recognition technology to red blood cell distribution broadband and constructs an intelligent red blood cell distribution width diagnosis model. To extract the content-level features of the image safely and effectively, this paper introduces the mechanism of jitter quantization to extract the content-level features at the lowest frequency of the image. In addition, this article employs an experimental approach to investigate the function of red blood cell distribution width in the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal bleeding in the elderly. Finally, this article establishes an experimental group and a control group and then performs a research study using real-life hospital case studies. According to the statistical findings, the red blood cell distribution width index may play a significant role in the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal bleeding, particularly in the case of severe bleeding.
