by Gon&#231;alves et al&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> In this well-presented article they aimed to determine the prognostic value of red blood cell distribution width &#40;RDW&#41; in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes &#40;NSTE-ACS&#41;&#44; particularly regarding the risk of major bleeding&#46; They concluded that RDW was an independent predictor of major bleeding in patients with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction &#40;NSTEMI&#41;&#46; They suggested that higher RDW values were associated with greater in-hospital mortality and were an independent predictor of in-hospital major bleeding in patients with NSTE-ACS&#46; The ready availability of this parameter at no additional cost may encourage its wider use in clinical practice in the future&#46; We thank the authors for their contribution&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is known that anemia is an important predictor of short- and medium-term mortality after ACS&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> In the present study&#44; there were significant differences between the third tertile of RDW compared to the other groups&#46; Anemia can be an independent risk factor of ACS patients with major bleeding in the present study&#46; RDW is a standard laboratory parameter that shows variation in red blood cell size on a standard hemogram and is usually used in assessing blood diseases&#46; It has recently been reported as an independent predictor of all-cause long-term mortality in patients with coronary artery disease&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> However&#44; conditions in the differential diagnosis of anemias can affect RDW and so this parameter might change in the presence of abnormalities such as thyroid disease&#44; renal or hepatic dysfunction &#40;creatinine &#62;1&#46;5 mg&#47;dl or aspartate aminotransferase and alanine transaminase more than twice the upper limit of normal&#44; respectively&#41;&#44; inflammatory diseases&#44; and use of medications which could influence RDW&#46; On the other hand&#44; it is also reported that an increased RDW is associated with nutritional deficiency &#40;of iron&#44; vitamin B<span class="elsevierStyleInf">12</span>&#44; and folic acid&#41; and ethnicity&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a></p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Recent clinical studies have considered the importance of bleeding events in the prognosis in patients with ACS&#46; In fact&#44; the risk for cardiovascular complications associated with bleeding is similar to that of a myocardial infarction &#40;MI&#41;&#46; Some bleeding risk scores are now available that dependably quantify the likelihood of an ACS patient experiencing a bleeding complication&#46; There is a strong relationship between bleeding and some conditions including older age&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> renal impairment&#44; female gender&#44; and an invasive management approach&#46; Although patients who tend to bleed frequently have more comorbidities than their non-bleeding counterparts&#44; several lines of experimental and clinical evidence suggest an independent causal pathway for bleeding-associated cardiovascular risk&#46; When possible&#44; bleeding should be avoided&#44; and strategies such as use of risk scores&#44; novel antithrombotics &#40;such as bivalirudin and fondaparinux&#41;&#44; vascular closure devices and radial access may decrease major bleeding&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a></p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Reduced glomerular filtration rate &#40;GFR&#41; may be also associated with adverse outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease&#46; The authors used the Cockcroft-Gault &#40;CG&#41; equation for GFR&#46; However&#44; compared to the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease &#40;MDRD&#41; formula&#44; the CG equation can give lower GFR measurements in younger age groups but higher GFR measurements in older individuals&#46; The value of GFR in predicting various cardiovascular endpoints in patients with MI is established&#46; Compared to the CG formula&#44; the MDRD formula is significantly more accurate in predicting the severity of coronary artery disease and two-year cardiovascular risk in patients admitted to the intensive care unit with MI&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> For this reason&#44; it can be useful&#44; and the results of the study might have been different if the authors had also used the MDRD formula&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In a previous study it was found that elevated levels of inflammatory molecules are markers of in-hospital major bleeding and also indicate an increased risk for the progression of NSTEMI&#46; These molecules can be reduced by medications including antihypertensive therapy<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> and aspirin&#46; Additionally&#44; as well as RDW&#44; neutrophil&#47;lymphocyte ratio&#44; gamma-glutamyltransferase&#44; C-reactive protein&#44; mean platelet volume and uric acid are also easy methods to assess patients&#8217; cardiovascular disease&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> Moreover&#44; hypoalbuminemia on admission is also a strong independent predictor of long-term mortality and development of advanced HF in patients with STEMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> These markers might be useful in clinical practice&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> Finally&#44; it would have been better if the authors had defined how much time they specified for measuring RDW levels&#44; since delaying blood sampling can cause abnormal results in RDW measurements&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion&#44; we strongly believe that the findings of the current study will lead to further large-scale studies examining the relationship between RDW and in-hospital major bleeding in patients presenting with ACS&#46; However&#44; one should keep in mind that RDW alone&#44; without other inflammatory markers&#44; may not give precise information to clinicians about their patients&#8217; inflammatory condition and prognostic indication&#46; So&#44; on this basis we think that it should be evaluated together with other serum inflammatory markers&#46;</p><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">1</span><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p></span></span>"

by Gon&#231;alves et al&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> In this well-presented article they aimed to determine the prognostic value of red blood cell distribution width &#40;RDW&#41; in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes &#40;NSTE-ACS&#41;&#44; particularly regarding the risk of major bleeding&#46; They concluded that RDW was an independent predictor of major bleeding in patients with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction &#40;NSTEMI&#41;&#46; They suggested that higher RDW values were associated with greater in-hospital mortality and were an independent predictor of in-hospital major bleeding in patients with NSTE-ACS&#46; The ready availability of this parameter at no additional cost may encourage its wider use in clinical practice in the future&#46; We thank the authors for their contribution&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is known that anemia is an important predictor of short- and medium-term mortality after ACS&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> In the present study&#44; there were significant differences between the third tertile of RDW compared to the other groups&#46; Anemia can be an independent risk factor of ACS patients with major bleeding in the present study&#46; RDW is a standard laboratory parameter that shows variation in red blood cell size on a standard hemogram and is usually used in assessing blood diseases&#46; It has recently been reported as an independent predictor of all-cause long-term mortality in patients with coronary artery disease&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> However&#44; conditions in the differential diagnosis of anemias can affect RDW and so this parameter might change in the presence of abnormalities such as thyroid disease&#44; renal or hepatic dysfunction &#40;creatinine &#62;1&#46;5 mg&#47;dl or aspartate aminotransferase and alanine transaminase more than twice the upper limit of normal&#44; respectively&#41;&#44; inflammatory diseases&#44; and use of medications which could influence RDW&#46; On the other hand&#44; it is also reported that an increased RDW is associated with nutritional deficiency &#40;of iron&#44; vitamin B<span class="elsevierStyleInf">12</span>&#44; and folic acid&#41; and ethnicity&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a></p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Recent clinical studies have considered the importance of bleeding events in the prognosis in patients with ACS&#46; In fact&#44; the risk for cardiovascular complications associated with bleeding is similar to that of a myocardial infarction &#40;MI&#41;&#46; Some bleeding risk scores are now available that dependably quantify the likelihood of an ACS patient experiencing a bleeding complication&#46; There is a strong relationship between bleeding and some conditions including older age&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> renal impairment&#44; female gender&#44; and an invasive management approach&#46; Although patients who tend to bleed frequently have more comorbidities than their non-bleeding counterparts&#44; several lines of experimental and clinical evidence suggest an independent causal pathway for bleeding-associated cardiovascular risk&#46; When possible&#44; bleeding should be avoided&#44; and strategies such as use of risk scores&#44; novel antithrombotics &#40;such as bivalirudin and fondaparinux&#41;&#44; vascular closure devices and radial access may decrease major bleeding&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a></p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Reduced glomerular filtration rate &#40;GFR&#41; may be also associated with adverse outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease&#46; The authors used the Cockcroft-Gault &#40;CG&#41; equation for GFR&#46; However&#44; compared to the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease &#40;MDRD&#41; formula&#44; the CG equation can give lower GFR measurements in younger age groups but higher GFR measurements in older individuals&#46; The value of GFR in predicting various cardiovascular endpoints in patients with MI is established&#46; Compared to the CG formula&#44; the MDRD formula is significantly more accurate in predicting the severity of coronary artery disease and two-year cardiovascular risk in patients admitted to the intensive care unit with MI&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> For this reason&#44; it can be useful&#44; and the results of the study might have been different if the authors had also used the MDRD formula&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In a previous study it was found that elevated levels of inflammatory molecules are markers of in-hospital major bleeding and also indicate an increased risk for the progression of NSTEMI&#46; These molecules can be reduced by medications including antihypertensive therapy<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> and aspirin&#46; Additionally&#44; as well as RDW&#44; neutrophil&#47;lymphocyte ratio&#44; gamma-glutamyltransferase&#44; C-reactive protein&#44; mean platelet volume and uric acid are also easy methods to assess patients&#8217; cardiovascular disease&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> Moreover&#44; hypoalbuminemia on admission is also a strong independent predictor of long-term mortality and development of advanced HF in patients with STEMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> These markers might be useful in clinical practice&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> Finally&#44; it would have been better if the authors had defined how much time they specified for measuring RDW levels&#44; since delaying blood sampling can cause abnormal results in RDW measurements&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion&#44; we strongly believe that the findings of the current study will lead to further large-scale studies examining the relationship between RDW and in-hospital major bleeding in patients presenting with ACS&#46; However&#44; one should keep in mind that RDW alone&#44; without other inflammatory markers&#44; may not give precise information to clinicians about their patients&#8217; inflammatory condition and prognostic indication&#46; So&#44; on this basis we think that it should be evaluated together with other serum inflammatory markers&#46;</p><span id="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">1</span><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p></span></span>"
