Abstract
Red distribution width (RDW) has recently been acclaimed as prognostic marker for mortality in critically-ill patients. However, this claim is still unclear and reports are still inadequate for the association between RDW and mortality in critically-ill paediatric patients. This research assessed the correlation between RDW within 24 hours of PICU (paediatric intensive care unit) admission and PELOD-2 score. A cross-sectional study was carried out involving 59 pediatric patients admitted to the PICU Haji Adam Malik Hospital, Medan, Indonesia, from May to July 2019. The association between RDW and PELOD-2 score was assessed by using Spearman correlation test. The RDW level of paediatric patients in the PICU on the first 24 hours was elevated (median 14.7%, range 11.4-31.2%). The median of PELOD-2 score assessment was 8 (range 2-21). There was no significant correlation between RDW and PELOD-2 in this research (r=0.187, p=0.156).
红色分布宽度(RDW)最近被认为是危重病人死亡率的预后指标。然而,这一说法仍然不清楚,关于RDW与危重儿科患者死亡率之间关系的报告仍然不足。本研究评估了PICU(儿科重症监护病房)入院24小时内的RDW与PELOD-2评分之间的相关性。本研究对2019年5月至7月在印度尼西亚棉兰市Haji Adam Malik医院PICU住院的59名儿科患者进行了横断面研究。采用Spearman相关检验评估RDW与PELOD-2评分的相关性。儿科患者在PICU前24小时的RDW水平升高(中位数14.7%,范围11.4-31.2%)。PELOD-2评分的中位数为8(范围2-21)。本研究中RDW与PELOD-2无显著相关(r=0.187, p=0.156)。
