Platelet Distribution Width and Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients

Platelet Distribution Width and Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients

Objectives. The association between platelet distribution width (PDW) and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients has received little attention. Methods. We retrospectively enrolled HD patients in a single center from January 1, 2008, to December 30, 2011. The primary and secondary endpoints were al...

Zusammenfassung:Objectives. The association between platelet distribution width (PDW) and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients has received little attention. Methods. We retrospectively enrolled HD patients in a single center from January 1, 2008, to December 30, 2011. The primary and secondary endpoints were all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, respectively. The association between PDW and mortality was estimated by Cox regression model. Results. Of 496 patients, the mean age was 52.5 ± 16.6 years, and the Charlson comorbidity index was 4.39 ± 1.71. During the follow-up period of 48.8 ± 6.7 months, 145 patients (29.2%) died, including 74 (14.9%) cardiovascular deaths. 258 (52.0%) with PDW
