Purpose: To examine an association between red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and the prognosis of influenza patients.Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients hospitalized with influenza during 2012-2015 in the internal medicine wards of one medical center. RDW measurements during hospitalization were analyzed. Primary outcome was complicated hospitalization (defined as at least one of: length of stay >= 7 days, need for mechanical ventilation, septic shock, transfer to intensive-care, or 30-day mortality). Secondary outcome was 30-day mortality.Results: 153 patients were included, mean age: 62.5 +/- 1, 82 (54%) male; 84 (55%) had a high RDW value (>14.5%) during hospitalization. Patients with high and low RDW( 14.5% was a predictor of severe hospital complications in patients with influenza. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
