Red cell distribution width as a predictor of severity of acute pancreatitis

Introduction and Objective: Acute Pancreatitis (AP) is one of the most common surgical emergencies, a third of which becomes severe. Mortality rate of severe AP can reach up to 40%. Identification of those at risk of severe AP would allow early intervention to improve outcome Red cell distribution...

The objective of this study was to determine whether admission RDW can predict severity of AP. Materials and Methods: A total of 74 patients admitted to Surgery Department in TUTH were included in this prospective study. Demographic data, admission time and laboratory parameters including RDW--?CV were obtained from each patient at admission. Reassessment was done at 48 hours. The patients were followed up till discharge. Severity of AP was classified by the 2012 revised Atlanta criteria. Results: A positive correlation between admission RDW - CV and severity of AP was found (Spearman’s rho 0.246, p value 0.034). ROC analysis revealed that admission RDW was accurate at predicting severe AP (AUC 0.733, 95% CI 0.612 to 0.854, p value 0.001) but was not accurate at differentiating mild from moderate AP ( AUC 0.510, 95% CI 0.291 to 0.729, p value 0.932).
