“…However, the mechanisms to explain the correlation between MPV and PDW and those clinical outcomes remain unclear, and the prognostic consistency is controversial. Most reports have shown that reduced MPV and/or MPV/P were linked to unsatisfactory prognosis in several carcinomas . However, in advanced NSCLC studied by Omar et al, they found elevated MPV and MPV/P could be an indicator of poor prognosis regarding OS, which is consistent with our current study.…”

“…In our study there was positive correlation between MPV and RVD similar to before studies (5,21). Right ventricle enlargement with increased pulmonary artery pressure can be accepted as hemodynamic indicators and both of them can show the the severity of pulmonary arterial vasculature thrombotic occlusion (18).…”

“…Thrombosis commences with the aggregation of erythrocytes, fibrin, and platelets. Platelets have a major role in the pathogenesis of thromboembolic disease (5). Mean platelet volume (MPV), a measurement of platelet size, which is available in every blood count, is progressively recognized as a significant marker of platelet activity (6).…”

“…Naess et al reported that secondary cancer VTE is associated with increased mortality relative to secondary non-cancer VTE and idiopathic VTE [25]. According to a study by Yardan et al [26], a high MPV/PLT ratio is associated with RV dysfunction and clinical severity in patients with acute PE and a low MPV/PLT level might be an indicator of low bleeding risk in patients with acute PE. In our study, the APACHE II score and PDW were independent prognostic factors of survival (but not MPV/PLT).…”
