Abstract: Monocyte distribution width (MDW), a parameter generated alongside full blood counts (FBC) in new‐generation haematology analysers, has been proposed as a diagnostic test for severe infection/sepsis. It represents the standard deviation (SD) of the monocyte… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jpm11080732
Abstract: (1) Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition, and most patients with sepsis first present to the emergency department (ED) where early identification of sepsis is challenging due to the unavailability of an effective diagnostic model.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jpm12030449
Abstract: (1) Background: Our study investigated whether monocyte distribution width (MDW) could be used in emergency department (ED) settings as a predictor of prolonged length of stay (LOS) for patients with COVID-19. (2) Methods: A retrospective… read more here.
