Background. An increase in the mean platelet volume (MPV) has been proposed as a novel
prognostic indicator in critically ill patients. Objective. We conducted a systematic review and …

Background. Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (MLR),
platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and mean platelet volume‐to‐platelet count (MPV/PC) …

Sepsis represents a severe pathology that requires both rapid and precise positive and
differential diagnosis to identify patients who need immediate antimicrobial therapy …

Introduction Sepsis is a public health problem due to its high prevalence and mortality. Mean
platelet volume (MPV), a biomarker reported in routine blood counts, has been investigated …

Background Although platelet mean volume/platelet count ratio (MPR) is considered to be a
crucial marker of inflammatory and infectious diseases, the relationship between MPR and …

Objectives Inflammation-based prognostic markers (neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR),
prognostic nutritional index (PNI), red cell distribution width (RDW) and lymphocyte …

Background Sepsis is still one of the main causes of infants and children mortality especially
in developing, economically challenged countries with limited resources. Our objective in …

Objectives: To determine whether the mean platelet volume (MPV) and MPV/platelet (PLT)
values can be used in the study of sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome …

Platelet indices are inexpensive, easily accessible parameters and potentially useful
prognostic indicators in sepsis. In this study we explore the differences in platelet indices …

Introduction Thrombocytopenia is well recognized as a poor prognosis sign associated with
increased mortality and prolonged Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay, particularly in septic …
