Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of mortality by red cell distribution width (RDW) values (green line), Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores (blue line) and their combination (red line) at admission.

Comparisons of the Model for End-stage liver disease (MELD) score (left) and mortality rate (right) among patients with different red cell distribution width (RDW) values.

<p>Patients were divided into three groups based on serum RDW values: group A (≤15.0%), B (>15.0%, but <20.0%) and C (≥20.0%).</p
