About this study

MDW as a novel indicator can be useful in clinical practice in the emergency care. However, until now, no study has been published about MDW's general relationship and coherence with multiple, conventional laboratory tests for infections, such as PCT, C-reactive protein (CRP), WBC, neutrophil count (NC), neutrophil percentage and immature granulocyte count (IGC) together.
