Higher red blood cell distribution width predicts thrombosis risk in primary and secondary myelofibrosis

Elevated red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has recently gained attention in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) as it was shown to be associated with reduced survival in myelofibrosis [1] and conflicting information has been reported for thrombotic risk in treatment- naïve and exposed polycythemia vera (PV) patients [2, 3, 4]. Due to uncertain implications of this parameter on the thrombotic risk in MPN, we aimed to evaluate RDW and associated thrombotic risk in a multicentric cohort of patients with primary (PMF) and secondary myelofibrosis (SMF).
