S-L Miao et al. have recently published an article entitled “Role of platelet to lymphocyte
ratio and red cell distribution width in predicting postoperative complications in
patients with acute mesenteric ischemia” in Annals of Vascular Surgery.

I thank the authors for their potentially useful contribution to the expanding literature
regarding the use of complete blood cell count (CBC)–derived analytes and parameters
in disease diagnosis and risk stratification. In addition to their valuable comments,
I would like to add some additional remarks about the technical aspects of the platelet-to-lymphocyte
ratio (PLR) and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) that may be of interest 1)
to the editors and readership of the journal, 2) to researchers who propose to implement
the PLR and/or RDW in their own work, and 3) to clinicians who are considering the
use of these data in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia.- Miao S.L.
