Objectives Platelets play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and the physiopathology of cardiovascular events. Plateletcrit provides complete information on total platelet mass. The relationship between plateletcrit values and long-term outcomes in patients with carotid stenosis is not known. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the reliability of plateletcrit for predicting major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients with carotid stenosis. Methods A total of 230 patients with more than 50% stenosis of the carotid artery were retrospectively included in this study. All cases were divided into two groups according to the calculated threshold value of plateletcrit with receiver operating characteristics curve and baseline parameters and clinical outcomes were compared. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to evaluate the association between the plateletcrit and MACCE. Results The cut-off value for plateletcrit was found to be 0.233 for predicting MACCE, with 56.2% sensitivity and 68.0% specificity. High plateletcrit levels were demonstrated to be statistically higher in patients with MACCE (0.247 in the MACCE (+) group vs. 0.213 in the MACCE (–) group, p < 0.001). In the Kaplan–Meier survival analysis, the long-term mortality rate was higher in the high plateletcrit group ( p = 0.006). Multivariate regression analysis showed that plateletcrit was independently associated with MACCE (OR: 2.196, CI: 1.200–4.018; p = 0.011). Conclusions Our data suggest that plateletcrit has an independently predictive value for long-term mortality and MACCE, and it can be used as a marker to predict the long-term adverse outcomes in patients with carotid stenosis.

Platelets are circulating cells known for their contribution to hemostasis, coagulation, protecting the blood vessels integrity, and wound healing. In the last decade, increasing evidence has linked platelets to activities beyond that. Platelets have been implicated in many physiological and pathological conditions involving immunity, inflammation, and even malignant tumors. Their role has been evaluated both as prognostic and diagnostic markers. Interestingly, platelets communicate with each other through a range of cytokines and interleukins secreted by their intracellular granules once activated or triggered. The understanding of this sophisticated mechanism of secretion and the genetic guidance of granule biosynthesis remained unclear. Complete blood count and its parameters are informative and affordable diagnostic tests as they highlighted platelet counts, plateletcrit, platelet indices; mean platelet volume, and platelet distribution width. Recently, increasing evidence suggests that implementing these parameters is a useful biomarker in the field of gynecology. Their role in obstetrics has been discussed in many studies, especially in hypertensive diseases, diabetes, abnormal fetal growth pattern, and early pregnancy loss. This review outlines the role of platelets and their indices in Gynecological disease.

“…It is a part of the routine complete blood count (6). The associations and long term prognostic value of PCT have been reported in stable coronary artery disease (7), STsegment (STEMI) (8) and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (6), cardiac syndrome X (9). Moreover, clinical utility of PCT has been reported in both coronary slow flow phenomenon and saphenous vein graft disease (10,11).…”
