Association Between Hemogram Parameters and Survival of Critically Ill Patients

Abstract

We think that elevated MPV levels in an ICU patient should alert clinicians for worse outcome. Physicians should be more careful in the management of these patients.

Predictive value of plateletcrit in the diagnosis of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis

“…Platelets play a role in important tasks in the human body, such as hemostasis and tissue regeneration. Depending on the increasing number of platelets and activity in the blood, thromboxane synthesis and synthesis of adhesion molecules increase, so that susceptibility to thrombosis occurs [9]. These causes have been the subject of research in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and their prognosis after treatment.…”

Can Blood Groups, Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio and Mean Platelet Volume Predict Mortality in Critically Ill Patients Developing Acute Kidney Injury?

“…In one study, Karagöz et al [35] categorized critically ill patients in two groups as deceased and discharged patients, and they examined the associations of hemogram parameters and especially MPV with mortality. They found strong association between increased MPV values and mortality [35]. Their results are not in agreement with our results.…”

Does Mean Platelet Volume to Lymphocyte Ratio Associates with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and its subtypes?

“…Platelets are tend to have greater size when they are activated by inflammation or other stimuli (3). Association between MPV and inflammatory conditions have been demonstrated in various research in literature (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). In a recent study it has been reported that, MPV of subjects with vitamin D deficiency, another condition that associated with low grade inflammation, have greater MPV values compared to subjects with normal serum vitamin D levels (14).…”
