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 …

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third driving reason for
death around the world and a real number of patients suffers from disease exacerbation …

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 …

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

Background Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) have
high mortality and health care costs. The platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a marker of …

BACKGROUND: Studies have supported the correlation between mean platelet volume and
COPD. However, there are limited data on the relationship between COPD exacerbation …

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

Background In recent decades, morbidity and mortality have been found to be significantly
increased in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated with …

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