Correlation of Erythrocyte Distribution Width Values with Preeclampsia and Preeclampsia with Severity Criteria

Abstract

Aim: To determine the correlation of the red cell distribution width values with pre-eclampsia and pre-eclampsia with severity criteria. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional, prospective study of patients who met the inclusion criteria in the period from August 2019 to August 2020. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t test and Spearman's correlation to calculate the dependence between the non-parametric variables, the value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: 9 patients with pre-eclampsia and 30 pre-eclampsia were obtained with severity criteria. There was no statistical difference when comparing the RDW of patients with pre-eclampsia and pre-eclampsia with severity criteria (p=0.226), in patients with systolic blood pressure values ≥160mmHg there was an increase in RDW levels (p=0.042) Objective: To determine the correlation of erythrocyte distribution width values with pre-eclampsia and pre-eclampsia with severity criteria. Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between increased RDW and systolic blood pressure values ≥160mmHg.
