Early Venous Stent Failure Predicted by Platelet Count and Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio

Platelet count/spleen diameter ratio predicted the presence of esophageal varices in liver cirrhosis.

Thanks to Dr. Daniel J. Brotman of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation for pointing out an error in the confidence interval for sensitivity in “Platelet count/spleen diameter ratio predicted the presence of esophageal varices in liver cirrhosis” (1). The correct values appear in the Table. Operating characteristics of platelet count/spleen diameter ratio (cutpoint ≤ 909 for a positive diagnosis) fo...

An Increase in Mean Platelet Volume/Platelet Count Ratio Is Associated with Vascular Access Failure in Hemodialysis Patients

After stenosis of arteriovenous vascular access in hemodialysis patients, platelets play a crucial role in subsequent thrombus formation, leading to access failure. In a previous study, the mean platelet volume (MPV)/platelet count ratio, but not MPV alone, was shown to be an independent predictor of 4-year mortality after myocardial infarction. However, little is known about the potential infl...

The Relationship Between Nasal Polyps, Mean Platelet Volume, Neutrophile/Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet Count

Methods: 112 patients and 42 controls were included in this study. Group 1 consisted of males only, Group 2 consisted of females only and Group 3 consisted of both sexes. In all groups, WBC (white blood cell count), RBC (red blood cell count), rdw (red cell distribution width), platelet count, MPV, pdw (platelet distribution width) and NLR parameters from CBC (complete blood count) were compare...

The role of platelet count, mean platelet volume, and the mean platelet volume/platelet count ratio in predicting postoperative vomiting in children after deep sedation

OBJECTIVES To determine the role of hemogram parameters such as platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), and the MPV/PLT ratio in predicting the risk of postoperative vomiting (POV) in children after tooth extraction under deep sedation. METHODS A total of 100 American Society of Anesthesiology Classification I and II pediatric patients who underwent tooth extraction procedures under...
