Comparison of Levels in Preterm and Term Neonates Mean Platelet Volume

Abstract

preterm newborns were compared, The difference was highly statistically significant. Discussion: While the MPV of the sick preterm newborns were assessed, it should not be forgotten that the MPV level of healthy premature babies were higher the MPV level of term newborns. This difference is probably due to the increase in the production of young platelets.
