Abstract

Introduction: The authors analysed red cell distribution width (RDW), platelet distribution width (PDW), and
the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as potential predicting factors of adverse outcomes in patients
after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at 48 months follow-up.

Material and methods: The authors gathered data on subjects who underwent PCI with a sirolimus-eluting
Alex Plus stent (Balton, Poland). They characterized the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events
(MACE) over a 4-year period, which encompassed cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), and target
lesion revascularization (TLR) depending on the RDW, PDW, and NLR values.

Results: Included were 218 patients (256 stents), among which were also identified 77 complex, high-risk
index procedure (CHIP) patients and 73 high bleeding risk (HBR) patients. The authors identified only RDW
as having a significant impact on long-term outcomes and only in the total population and CHIP patients.
The total population with RDW > 14.5% was characterized by higher age (67 ± 11 vs. 73 ± 10 years,
p < 0.01) and higher incidence of chronic kidney disease (14% vs. 39%, p < 0.01) as well as chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (4% vs. 15%, p = 0.024). Interestingly, this group had a lower rate of ACS
(42% vs. 34%, p = 0.049). At 48 months in the total population with RDW > 14.5% of patients, the rates
of MACE, cardiac death, MI, and TLR were 26.8%, 19.5%, 9.8%, and 12.2%, respectively.

Conclusions: RDW > 14.5% correlated with a higher risk of cardiac death in the total population and
CHIP patients.
