Is Mean Platelet Volume a Predictive Marker for the Development of Thrombosis in Patients with COVID-19 Infection?
Kurume Medical Journal 2024 March 30
Mean platelet volume (MPV) can provide important information about the course and prognosis of many diseases. MPV is an early indicator of platelet activation, which has an important role in the pathogenesis of thrombosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether MPV was a predictive marker for the development of thrombosis in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection. Fifty-seven patients whose courses were followed after the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection using a polymerase chain reaction test during the pandemic were included in the study. Our results demonstrated that there was a negative correlation between platelet count and MPV (r=0.470, p≤ 0.01), and there was a positive correlation between Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) and MPV (r=0,933, p≤ 0.01), but no significant correlation was found between the other variables and MPV.
