Abstract

mortality independent of MELD-Xi and Heartmate II (HMRS) risk scores. Discriminatory power of RDW was comparable to MELD-Xi and Heartmate II risk scores (Figure 1B). Conclusion: These findings suggest that RDW, a simple and inexpensive test that is available through routine complete blood count, can be successfully utilized for mortality risk assessment in CF-LVAD candidates. RDW should be incorporated into future CF-LVAD risk models.
