Core Tip

Core Tip: This letter discusses the study by Lv et al, which demonstrated that red cell distribution width (RDW) is a promising predictor of persistent organ failure in patients with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis. The integration of RDW with the Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis score potentially enhances the predictive accuracy for severe outcomes. The letter also suggests including 95% confidence intervals to improve data interpretability. Further research across patients with different types of pancreatitis is recommended, and prospective studies are needed to validate and standardize the clinical use of RDW.
