      stable chronic heart failure: a propensity score matching analysis.

AB  - AIM: We aimed to investigate the association between baseline red cell 
      distribution width (RDW) level and the risk of stroke in patients with heart 
      failure (HF). METHODS: A total of 153 consecutive patients with HF (New York 
      Heart Association [NYHA] I-III and left ventricular ejection fraction of <40%) 
      were included in this prospective study. All the patients were followed up for 1 
      year, and during this period the cerebrovascular disease was questioned. RESULTS: 
      In matched population, using propensity score matching comparing patients with HF 
      having stroke with patients without stroke, we found significantly increased 
      basal RDW and serum uric acid. The receiver-operating characteristic curves of 
      RDW for predicting stroke are performed. An RDW >/= 15.2% measured on admission had 
      87% sensitivity and 74% specificity in predicting stroke in patients with HF 
      (area under the curve: 0.923, 95% confidence interval: 0.852-0.994, P < .001). 
      CONCLUSION: In conclusion, this study demonstrated that RDW may be important 
      hematological indices for stroke in patients with HF using propensity score 
      analysis.
