Elevated red blood cell distribution width predicts poor prognosis in hilar cholangiocarcinoma
BACKGROUND: Although the red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been reported as a reliable predictor of prognosis in several types of cancer, the prognostic value of RDW in hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) has not been studied. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 292 consecutively recruited HC p...

description | BACKGROUND: Although the red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been reported as a reliable predictor of prognosis in several types of cancer, the prognostic value of RDW in hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) has not been studied. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 292 consecutively recruited HC patients undergoing radical resection was conducted. The optimal cutoff value of RDW was determined by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Survival analysis by the Kaplan-Meier method, the difference between the clinico-pathologic variables and survival were evaluated by log-rank analysis. Multivariate analysis identified independent prognostic risk factors of overall survival (OS). RESULTS: ROC analysis suggested that the optimal cutoff value for the RDW was 14.95. Linear correlation analysis revealed that RDW is associated with white blood cell count (P = 0.007), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (P = 0.02), and hemoglobin (P < 0.001), albumin (P < 0.001). In a multivariate analysis, the RDW was an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR = 1.755, 95% CI 1.311-2.349, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Elevated RDW may be regarded as an indicator of systemic inflammatory response which might facilitate HC growth and metastasis. Current evidence suggests that RDW may have clinical significance in predicting OS after surgery in HC patients. |
