Thrombocytopenia is a common hematological abnormality in neonates with sepsis. The
autoanalyzers now-a-days readily provide platelet indices along with platelet counts without …

Background: Platelets play an important role in the formation of pulmonary blood vessels,
and thrombocytopenia is common in patients with pulmonary diseases. However, a few …

Background To examine the value of early echocardiographic indices for the right ventricular
function combined with platelet (PLT) parameters for predicting bronchopulmonary …

Background: To compare mean platelet volume (MPV) values between full-term infants with
pulmonary hemorrhage and those with transient tachypnea of the newborn to determine …

BACKGROUND: Intra ventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a major cause of mortality among very
low birth weight infants. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between mean …

Background: Since the intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is still a serious problem in
premature infants associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes, there is a need for …

Aim: To investigate whether mean platelet volume (MPV) is a predictor of variceal bleeding
in patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension. Materials and methods: This prospective cohort …

Background: Respiratory distress is a serious condition affecting preterm neonates. The
present study was designed to evaluate the association between mean platelet volume …

Background: Neonatal sepsis is a generalized bacterial infection which occurs in the first
month of life. Intraventricular hemorrhage is the most common intracerebral disorder which …

Background: Currently, no practical biomarker has been discovered for early recognition of
the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). This study aimed to evaluate the …
