The red cell distribution width (RDW)/albumin ratio (RAR) is an inflammation-based prognostic biomarker. To date, its prognostic value in patients with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) has been investigated in only one study. This study aimed to assess the effect of RAR on mortality in patients with PTE.

Our study aimed to investigate the role of MMEF values in asthma control, the prevalence of small airway disease, and their effect on asthma control in patients with asthma with normal forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV) values.
Material And Method: Patients who presented to the Chest Diseases outpatient clinic of our hospital between 2018 and 2019 and were diagnosed as having asthma were included in the study.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the connection between 25-OH vitamin D levels, various inflammatory markers, and the severity of COVID-19.
- Researchers divided patients into three groups based on the severity of their COVID-19 symptoms and measured their vitamin D levels and inflammatory parameters.
- Results indicated no significant differences in vitamin D levels across groups, but higher inflammatory markers were found in severe cases, with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) identified as a key independent predictor of disease severity.
