[ 1 ] - Hyperglycemia and Red Cell Distribution Width for Prediction of Mortality in Preschool Children with Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)

Background Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major infectious cause of mortality in preschool children especially in developing countries. Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) has been associated with poor outcomes of CAP. We aimed to determine whether admission stress hyperglycemia and RDW can predict mortality in preschool children with CAP for early identification of patients at risk of ...

[ 2 ] - Prognostic Validity of Red Cell Distribution Width in Neonatal Sepsis

Background Neonatal sepsis is one of the most critical illness in neonates that is responsible for a great proportion of morbidity and mortality in neonates so early diagnosis and identification of high risk cases is a challenging aim of our study. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of red cell distribution width (RDW), in neonatal sepsis at the time of admission ...
