Implication

Observational study assesses retinal vein occlusion severity in a Turkish population using RAR, indicating a potential new marker for diagnosis.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the relationship between the RDW-albumin ratio (RAR) and the severity of retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
  • Evaluated 55 RVO patients and 30 healthy controls
  • Conducted fundus fluorescein angiography for classification of RVO types
  • Assessed comprehensive physical examinations and laboratory tests including RDW and serum albumin levels
  • Compared biochemical characteristics between gender and groups
  • RDW-CV values were significantly higher in the ischemic occlusion group (P = .006)
  • RAR showed a significant difference between control and ischemic groups (P = .016)
  • No significant differences in demographic and biochemical characteristics by gender
  • Differences in albumin levels did not reach statistical significance (P = .118)
