Platelet distribution width—a prognosis marker in patients with chronic heart failure
Patients with PDW ≥14.3 fL (upper tercile for PDW) presented a multivariate-adjusted 32% (95% CI: 5-64%) higher risk of all-cause death than those with lower values. PDW can help clinicians stratify patients with chronic HF; it is a practical, inexpensive, and widely available parameter.
