Hemoglobin/Red Blood Cell Distribution Width Ratio in Peripheral Blood Is Positively Associated with Prognosis of Patients with Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND The prognostic value of the hemoglobin/red blood cell distribution width ratio in primary hepatocellular carcinoma remains unknown. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between hemoglobin/red blood cell distribution width ratio and hepatocellular carcinoma prognosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Medical records of hepatocellular carcinoma patients were analyzed retrospectively. The hemoglobin/red blood cell distribution width ratio cut-off value was determined as 0.987 by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Patients were divided into high- and low-level groups, and the clinical data were compared. The correlation among the ratio levels, progression-free survival, and overall survival was measured with univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. The prognost
