Sažetak Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex
inflammatory condition that can affect haemostasis. This study aimed to determine …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), an increasing global health problem, may
be complicated by acute atherothrombotic events. Although systemic inflammation plays the …

Platelets play an important role in the pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) by mediating thrombotic, inflammatory, and immune processes in the lung …

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most
important lung disease lead‑ing to disability and even death. Recent studies have shown …

Aim We aimed to assess the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and platelet parameters in
patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods A total of 60 stable …

Objective Platelet activation in COPD patients is associated with an increased risk of
cardiovascular events. We aimed at assessing the mean platelet volume (MPV), as an index …

Background The effect of association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) and diabetes (DM) on platelet function has not been studied before. Objectives To …

Background Mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-
to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have all been investigated as novel inflammatory markers of …

Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the most common complications
developed during the course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Platelet …

Background and objective An increased mean platelet volume (MPV) is an early marker of
platelet activation. Activated platelets play a role in atherogenesis, inflammation and …
