Red cell distribution width and risk for venous thromboembolism: A population-based cohort study.

Summary, in English

Red cell distribution width (RDW) has been associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE), but whether RDW is a predictor of first event of VTE is unknown. We investigated the association between RDW and incidence of first event of VTE in a population-based cohort.
