Use of Platelet Indices for Determining Illness Severity and Predicting Prognosis in Critically Ill Patients

Abstract: Background:Decreased platelet (PLT) count is one of the independent risk factors for mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. This study was to investigate the relationship between PLT indices and illness severity and their performances in predicting hospital mortality.Methods:Adult patients who admitted to ICU of Changzheng Hospital from January 2011 to September 2012 and met inclusion criteria were included in this study. Univariate analysis was used to identify potential independent risk factors for… Show more

“…MPV is a measure of the volume of platelets and when platelet consumption increases, the bone marrow produces more immature platelets. This causes an increase in MPV value 34 . There are few studies in adults stating that increase in the MPV level is correlated with the severity of the illness 35 .…”

“…Therefore, both the number of platelets and their morphology stays relatively constant. Under pathophysiological conditions, any factor which could inhibit platelet regeneration, increase their activation or accelerate their death once overwhelming the capacity of self-regulation will cause changes in both platelet count and morphology and thus results in a change in platelet indices 34 .…”

“…Zhang ve ark. [28] yoğun bakım hastalarında hatalık şiddeti ve prognozu belirlemek için yaptıkları çalışmada, MPV'nin kestirim değerini 11.3 femtolitre olara bulmuşlardır. Çalışmamızda, ölen grup ile sağ kalan grup arasında anlamlı bir MPV değeri artışı vardı.…”
