Background: Following renal transplantation, early-onset pneumonia is a frequent and severe infection-related complication. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been reported as a predictive marker among patients with infectious diseases. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the significance of RDW in predicting prognosis, including 60-day mortality, in renal transplant recipients with early-onset pneumonia.Material/Methods: Clinical data from patients who developed early-onset pneumonia after renal transplantation were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into 2 groups: those with an RDW 15.0%. The 60-day mortality, bacteremia, need for mechanical ventilation, renal transplant rejection rate, and number of admissions to the intensive care unit (ICU) were estimated by Kaplan-Meier methods. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to determine the risk factors for 60-day mortality.Results: Among the 118 patients participating in the study, 18 (15.2%) died during the 60-day follow-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a death rate of 9.38% in the group with an RDW 15.0% (P
