Figure 1. Elevated Red Blood Cell Distribution Width (RDW) at Hospital Admission and Mortality Among Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Figure 1.

Across all age groups, an RDW greater than 14.5% measured at the time of admission was associated with a 31% mortality compared with an 11% mortality for patients whose RDW at admission was ≤14.5%. All increases in mortality are statistically significant except in the 70- to 80-year age group. Table 2 details age-stratified and RDW-stratified mortality rates.
