The association between red cell distribution width and newly diagnosed hypertension among adults in Northern Sudan: a case-control study
ABSTRACTThe existing data have shown inconsistency about the association between red cell distribution width (RDW) and hypertension. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the association between RDW and newly diagnosed hypertension among adults in Sudan. This was a case-control study...

| description | ABSTRACTThe existing data have shown inconsistency about the association between red cell distribution width (RDW) and hypertension. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the association between RDW and newly diagnosed hypertension among adults in Sudan. This was a case-control study conducted in Northern Sudan from July to September 2022. The cases were patients with newly diagnosed hypertension (n = 78), and the controls were healthy participants (n = 78). A questionnaire was used to collect the participants’ sociodemographic, and clinical data. RDW was measured using an automated hematology analyzer. A logistic regression analysis was performed. The univariate analysis revealed no association between sex, educational level, occupational level, RDW, and newly diagnosed hypertension. In the multivariate analysis, increasing age (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02‒1.08) and body mass index (AOR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.05‒1.19) were associated with newly diagnosed hypertension. No association was found between RDW and newly diagnosed hypertension. No correlation was found between RDW and systolic (r = 0.045, P = 0.577) or diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.023, P = 0.772). In conclusion, no association in RDW was found between the patients with newly diagnosed hypertension and the healthy controls. |
