Red cell distribution width: A predictor of the severity of hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis

Figure 1 Correlation between red cell distribution width and bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II. A: Positive correlation between red cell distribution width (RDW) and bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis; B: Positive correlation between RDW and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II. RDW: Red cell distribution width; BISAP: Bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis; APACHE-II: Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II.

Figure 2 Percentage of patients with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis between the red cell distribution width (RDW) < 13. 1% group and the RDW ≥ 13.1% group. POF: Persistent organ failure; RDW: Red cell distribution width.

Figure 3 Receiver operating characteristic curves for red cell distribution width (RDW), bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II, and BISAP plus RDW score for predicting persistent organ failure in hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis. HTG-AP: Hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis; RDW: Red cell distribution width; BISAP: Bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis; APACHE II: Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II; BR: BISAP plus RDW; POF: Persistent organ failure.
