Abstract :

The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between increased RDW levels and the prognosis of community pneumonia patients using the CRUB–65 method. This study is an analytical study with cross–sectional observation. This study was attended by 31 patients who had met the inclusion criteria. To see the relationship between RDW levels and CURB–65 scores, bivariate Spearman correlation analysis was used. The desired deviation (α) is 0.05. Statistically significant if p <0.05. From this study, there is no relationship between the value of RDW levels on the CURB 65 score. The higher the RDW value, the CURB65 score will also be higher
