dc.description.abstract | Objective: Red cell distribution width (RDW) has been reported to be a predictor of cardiac events in coronary artery disease (CAD). Here, we hypothesized that RDW level on admission would be predictive of adverse outcomes in non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NST-ACS). Methods: In total, 202 patients with NST-ACS (159 males and 43 females) were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups based on the 50th percentile of admission RDW levels. A high RDW group (n=100) was defined as those patients having RDW levels of >14.0. The relationship between RDW and primary endpoint (cardiovascular death), secondary endpoints [(reinfarction, repeat target vessel revascularization-percutaneous/surgical)], and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were assessed. The median follow-up time was 18 (13-24) months. Results: The patients in the high RDW group were older (62.9 vs. 57.5, p=0.001). Multivessel disease, low-density lipoprotein, creatinine, platelet, CK-MB, troponin I, and RDW were higher (p=0.047, p=0.003, p=0.012, p=0.012, p=0.017, p<0.001, respectively), and gender (male/female), ejection fraction, and hemoglobin levels were lower (p=0.021, p=0.04, p=0.016, respectively) in the high RDW group. Cardiovascular death and MACE were higher in the high RDW group (16% vs. 4.9%, p=0.01, 52% vs. 31.4%, p=0.003, respectively). By multiple regression analysis in 202 patients, age >= 65 and RDW > 14.0% on admission were found to be powerful independent predictors of cardiovascular mortality (OR: 4.5, 95% CI: 1.5-13.1, p=0.005, OR: 3.0, 95% CI: 1.0-8.9, p=0.039, respectively). Conclusion: A high RDW level on admission is associated with increased long-term mortality in patients with NST-ACS. | |
