Association Betweenn Preoperative RDW and Postoperative Pulmonary Embolism in Trauma Patients: A Propensity Score-Matched Multicenter Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundAlthough red cell distribution width (RDW) has been linked to venous thromboembolism, its predictive value for postoperative pulmonary embolism (PE) in surgical trauma patients remains ambiguous. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between preoperative RDW and postoperative PE risk.MethodsWe incorporated 46506 surgical trauma patients from three medical institutions and the MIMIC-IV 2.2 database. We constructed receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) utilizing preoperative (at admission) RDW and postoperative PE and classified patients into two groups. Firstly, univariate logistic regression was conducted to identify factors correlated with postoperative PE, and the variance inflation factor was computed to evaluate multicollinearity. Multivariate logistic regr
