Abstract :
To study the role of Red cell
distribution width(RDW) in assessing the severity of
ischemic stroke.
Materials and methodology: This cross-sectional
observational study was conducted among 70 patients
admitted in Bir Hospital with clinical symptomatology of
stroke and/ or positive neuroimaging evidence of ischemic
stroke during the study period (October 2019 to

examination, routine CT scan, patient were subjected to
routine blood investigations like Complete blood count
(CBC) including RDW. RDW was categorised into high
