| Core Tip |
This article underscores the significance of age and red cell distribution width (RDW) as independent predictors for preoperative malignant risk stratification in pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs). A model that integrates these factors demonstrated high accuracy (area under the curve = 0.858), with age ≥ 60 years and RDW ≥ 15.5% indicating increased risk. This accessible, non-invasive tool may help to identify high-risk patients for intervention, though future multicenter validation is required. The biological role of RDW in the progression of PCN also warrants further study. |
