“…Significant differences in MPV levels have also been shown in respiratory diseases accompanied by inflammatory conditions 14–18 .

“…Inflammatory mediators, such as interleukin‐6, which usually increases in acute or chronic conditions, may affect the bone marrow by changing the whole megakaryocytic platelet axis causing higher MPV levels 11,12 .

There have been a limited number of studies on coronavirus disease 2019 in children. In this study, we aimed to investigate the demographic, clinical, and laboratory features of COVID-19 and to identify the role of mean platelet volume (MPV) in predicting the prognosis in children. A single-center retrospective study, including 251 confirmed and 65 suspected COVID-19 cases, was conducted between March 11, 2020, and December 11, 2020. In the confirmed COVID-19 group, 48 (19.1%) patients were asymptomatic, 183 (72.9%) mild, 16 (6.4%) moderate, 1 (0.4%) severe, and 3 were (1.2%) critically ill. Confirmed COVID-19 patients had significantly lower mean values of white blood cell (WBC), absolute neutrophil count, absolute lymphocyte count, platelet, and hemoglobin (p < .001). However, there was no significant difference in MPV levels between the two groups (p = .894). C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, fibrinogen, and NTpro-BNP mean values were significantly lower in confirmed COVID-19 cases than suspected cases (p < .001). A total of 55 (21.9%) patients required hospitalization due to COVID-19, and MPV, WBC, CRP, procalcitonin, D-dimer, and NT-pro-BNP were statistically higher in hospitalized patients than those in outpatients. The multivariate analysis of confirmed COVID-19 cases according to the severity of disease showed that lymphopenia and higher levels of fibrinogen significantly associated with severe clinical symptoms. Decision tree analysis showed that the most powerful predictor of hospitalization due to COVID-19 was the D-dimer (p < .001). MPV values are not associated with COVID-19 disease severity. However, MPV can be used with other parameters such as WBC, CRP, procalcitonin, D-dimer, and NT-pro-BNP to predict hospitalization.

“…For a long time, the importance of MPV in clinical use has not been fully understood due to inadequate studies 15,16 . Increased MPV was found in cardiovascular diseases, cerebral stroke, respiratory diseases, chronic kidney failure, nephrotic syndrome, intestinal diseases, rheumatoid diseases, diabetes and various cancers.…”

Objective: In the present study, we aimed to show the relationship between the clinical characteristics age, gender, hospitalization time values and hemogram parameters of COVID-19 patients. Methods: Total 70 patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 between April 2020 and June 2020 in a secondary hospital and discharged with healing were retrospectively examined in terms of demographic data, epidemiological properties and hemogram parameters. Results: The mean age of 70 patients included in the study is 43.8± 17.2 (range, 17 to 87) years; 28 (40%) were female and 42 (60%) were male. The mean hospitalization time of the patients was 6.33 ± 3.05 (range, 1 to 15) days. We observed a significant difference between eosinophil count (p = 0.05) and platelet distribution width (PDW) values (p = 0.032) according to the duration of hospitalization. There was no significant difference between the clinical progress and blood values in general. However, when patients with and without fever were compared, a significant difference was found for mean platelet volume (MPV) (p=0.035) values. Similarly, a statistically significant difference was found between hemoglobin (p = 0.046) and eosinophil number (p = 0.010) when male and female patients were compared. Conclusion: The relationship between clinical progress and hemogram parameters in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 may be significant for the evaluation of prognosis.

Diagnostic role of mean platelet volume in tonsillitis with and without peritonsillar abscess

Abstract: Our results suggest that a decreased mean platelet volume is associated with the development and severity of tonsillitis. This finding provides useful diagnostic information for physicians treating patients with tonsillitis.
