RDW associations with incident conditions in 240,477 UK Biobank participants.

RDW associations with incident conditions in 240,477 UK Biobank participants.</p

RDW analysis of incident events stratified by follow-up time and age.

RDW = red blood cell distribution width; CAD = coronary artery disease (myocardial infarction or angina); CI = Confidence Interval. Hazard Ratios (the mortality analysis) are from Cox Proportional Hazards models; sub Hazard Ratios (for incident disease) are from Competing Risks Regression models. Analyses excluded participants with prevalent diseases at baseline assessment (anemia, CAD, cancer, diabetes, stroke, COPD or hypertension), and were adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, education level, hemoglobin concentration, and mean corpuscular volume. See Table A in S1 File for full results.</p

Forest plots showing the Hazard Ratio for each category of RDW from survival analyses.

RDW = red blood cell distribution width; CAD = coronary artery disease (myocardial infarction or angina); PVD = peripheral vascular disease; CI = Confidence Interval. All-cause mortality estimates are from Cox Proportional Hazards models; Incident disease estimates are from Competing Risks Regression models (sub Hazard Ratio). Analyses excluded participants with prevalent diseases at baseline assessment (anemia, CAD, cancer, diabetes, stroke, COPD or hypertension), and were adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, education level, hemoglobin concentration, and mean corpuscular volume.
