| patients with stroke. However, the correlation between the RDW and the stroke severity in terms of muscle power grading was not reported. Methods: The retrospective study involves 37 patients with stroke. “The Medical Research Council Scale (MRC) for Muscle Strength” was used for the assessment of the muscle strength. RDW% was calculated by Coulter Counter device. Results: The muscle power grading was significant and inversely (P<0.01, r = -0.604) correlated with RDW% and significant and inversely (P<0.01, r = -0.72) correlated with plasma triglycerides in patients with stroke. Conclusion:These results show an inverse association between muscle power grading in stroke patients with RDW% and plasma triglycerides. | ||
