Which observations from the complete blood cell count predict mortality for hospitalized patients

TLDR
Among patients admitted to Wishard Memorial Hospital, the presence of nucleated RBCs, burr cells, or absolute lymphocytosis at admission was each independently associated with a 3-fold increase in risk of death within 30 days of admission.
Abstract
Background Information on the prognostic utility of the admission complete blood count (CBC) and differential count is lacking.

Elevated red blood cell distribution width predicts mortality in persons with known stroke

TL;DR: Elevated RDW is associated with stroke occurrence and strongly predicts both cardiovascular and all-cause deaths in persons with known stroke.

Red cell distribution width and neurological scoring systems in acute stroke patients.

TL;DR: In stroke patients who have symptoms <24 hours, the RDW may be useful in predicting the severity and functional outcomes of the stroke.

Utility of commonly captured data from an EHR to identify hospitalized patients at risk for clinical deterioration.

TL;DR: An automated scoring system for non-ICU inpatients based on readily available electronic vital signs data, age, and body mass index is created and may improve identification of patients at risk for clinical deterioration.

The use of the white cell count and haemoglobin in combination as an effective screen to predict the normality of the full blood count

TL;DR: The combined use of the white blood cell count (WBC) and haemoglobin in predicting the normality of the FBC is evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Red blood cell distribution width, multimorbidity, and the risk of death in hospitalized older patients

TL;DR: Red blood cell distribution width is a good predictor of mortality in hospitalized older adults beyond those with cardiovascular risk factors, and it could serve as an integrative measure of multiple clinical and subclinical processes simultaneously occurring in complex patients.

APACHE II: a severity of disease classification system.

TL;DR: The form and validation results of APACHE II, a severity of disease classification system that uses a point score based upon initial values of 12 routine physiologic measurements, age, and previous health status, are presented.

Validation of a combined comorbidity index.

TL;DR: The estimated relative risk of death from an increase of one in the comorbidity score proved approximately equal to that from an additional decade of age.

A prediction rule to identify low-risk patients with community-acquired pneumonia

TL;DR: A prediction rule that stratifies patients into five classes with respect to the risk of death within 30 days accurately identifies the patients with community-acquired pneumonia who are at low risk for death and other adverse outcomes and may help physicians make more rational decisions about hospitalization for patients with pneumonia.

The APACHE III prognostic system. Risk prediction of hospital mortality for critically ill hospitalized adults.

TL;DR: The overall predictive accuracy of the first-day APACHE III equation was such that, within 24 h ofICU admission, 95 percent of ICU admissions could be given a risk estimate for hospital death that was within 3 percent of that actually observed.
