Relationship of RDW with the prognosis in acute cerebral hemorrhage patients

Objective To measure the relationship between RDW and acute cerebral hemorrhage as well as prognosis. Methods Data of 150 patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage and 160 patients with non-acute cerebral hemorrhage,including physical examination,laboratory tests and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed. Results More hypertension occurred in acute cerebral hemorrhage patients than non-acute cerebral hemorrhage patients( P 0. 01). Compared with the non-acute cerebral hemorrhage patients,the RDW was significantly higher in acute cerebral hemorrhage patients( P 0. 01). The increasing level of RDW contributed to the repeated occur reuce of cerebral hemorrhage and the increasing in-hospital mortality. Conclusions The relationship between the level of RDW and the prognosis of acute cerebral hemorrhage patients is significantly manifested. The increasing level of RDW contributed to the increasing in-hospital mortality. RDW is a widely-available test which is a strong predictor of prognosis of the acute cerebral hemorrhage patients.
