Key result
Platelet distribution width (PDW) was significantly associated with adequate coronary collateral development in patients with NSTEMI (OR 0.489; 95% CI 0.319-0.750; p=0.001).
Why the study?
Coronary collateral development predicts coronary heart disease severity and hemogram parameters are supposed novel inflammatory markers, motivating comparison of these parameters in NSTEMI patients with adequate versus inadequate collateralization.
Are hemogram parameters, specifically platelet distribution width (PDW), associated with adequate coronary collateral development in patients with NSTEMI?
Observational (n=177)

Odds Ratio: 0.489 (95% CI 0.319–0.75)
Absolute Event Rate: 17.8% vs 17.6%
p-value: p=0.001
Platelet distribution width (PDW) is significantly associated with adequate coronary collateral development in patients with NSTEMI and may serve as an inexpensive predictive marker.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
PDW may identify NSTEMI patients with adequate collaterals; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Sıncer et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (n=177). Platelet distribution width (PDW) was evaluated on Adequate coronary collateral development (OR 0.489, 95% CI 0.319-0.750, p=0.001). Platelet distribution width (PDW) was significantly associated with adequate coronary collateral development in patients with NSTEMI (OR 0.489; 95% CI 0.319-0.750; p=0.001).
