One condition, different environments? Haematologic parameter dynamics and pulmonary embolism in urban vs. rural orthopaedic patients
Although residence did not significantly influence APE incidence, the elevated RDW in urban patients suggests environmental or lifestyle-related haematologic modulation. Considering the limited similar studies in the literature, RDW emerges as a potential, cost-effective biomarker for early APE risk stratification in orthopaedic patients.
