Background: Red Blood cell distribution Width (RDW) is reported as a novel marker of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk. We aimed to investigate the correlation of RDW level with the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) defined with the Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) and to study the relationship between RDW and CVD in OSAS.

Results: From retrospective analyses of patients admitted to our department for polygraphy between January 2018 and January 2020, OSAS patients with complete medical records and hemogram analyses were evaluated. The study population consisted of 160 patients (101 females/59 males). The mean age was 52.32 ± 10.83 years. RDW correlated positively with the Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) (r=0.392; p
