Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate RDW variability and conduct a comparative analysis of the RDW level in patients depending on their belonging to a defined nosological group of diseases according to the ICD-10 classification. All patients who complete blood count tests in our hospital from January to December 2016 were included in the study. The identification of the patient's belonging to a specific nosological group according to the ICD-10 classification was carried out on the basis of the disease analysis code indicated in the direction of the blood test. 8056 patient records were included in the final analysis. Deviations beyond the upper reference range for the RDW indicator (> 14.5%) in this study were identified for patients of the following nosological groups according to ICD-10: C - neoplasms; D - blood diseases; S - injuries; T - poisoning. Significant intergroup differences were obtained according to the Kruskal-Wallis rank analysis of variance (Kruskal-Wallis test: H (19, n= 7622) = 214.9672 p = 0.0000). According to the results of this study, we can conclude that RDW has specificity for certain diseases (neoplasms; blood diseases; injuries; poisoning). In case of cardiovascular and other diseases, deviations of this indicator beyond the limits of the upper reference values were not found in this study.
