Abstract:
Objective To investigate the level of the red blood cell (RBC) distribution width and other related indicators to predict the prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure elderly.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed in the patients with chronic heart failure elderly which died in our hospital (experimental group) and 100 patients were selected randomly that with heart failure elderly being improved by treatment (control group).The difference was compared in the level of the RBC distribution width (RDW),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),homocysteine (Hcy),D-dimer (DD),and amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in two groups.Results The level of RDW,hsCRP,Hcy,DD,and NT-proBNP in experimental group were significantly higher than that in control group (P ＜0.01).Conclusions Chronic heart failure was common clinical critically ill in the elderly.There were important clinical significance and important predictors to detect the levels of RDW,hs-CRP,Hcy,DD,and NT-proBNP in predicting prognosis and evaluating the effect of treatment.
