| Abstract: | Objective: To study red cell distribution width (RDW) values, a novel inflammatory marker in routine hemogram, of patients with benign or malignant thyroid nodules and to compare with healthy population.; Study Design: Descriptive study.; Place and Duration of Study: Abant Izzet Baysal University Hospital, Bolu, Turkey, from November 2015 and February 2017.; Methodology: The hemogram values of patients undergone thyroid surgery for thyroid nodule between November 2015 and February 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, and compared to those in healthy subjects. Subjects with infectious or inflammatory diseases were excluded. Patients' characteristics and laboratory data were obtained from institutional computerized database. Preoperative hemogram values of thyroid nodule patients were recorded. One-way ANOVAand Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed to compare variables with significance at p |
