Predictive Role of Red Cell Distribution Width in Upper GI Bleeding Patients

NCT03119987 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 400

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Acute upper-gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a commonly encountered cause of admission in emergency department (ED). Early risk stratification allows appropriate therapy that may be helpful to advance the patient's morbidity and mortality. Investigators hypothesized that early RDW levels may have an independent, linear relationship with recurrent or massive bleeding in UGIB patients.
