The Impact of Various Platelet Indices as Prognostic Markers of Septic Shock
INTRODUCTION Platelet indices, including mean platelet volume (MPV), are readily available blood tests, although their prognostic value in patients with septic shock has not been fully explored. Current evidence has found contradictory results. This study aims to explore the behavior of platelet indices in septic shock and their clinical prognostic value. METHODS Charts of septic shock patien...
متن کاملAn Increase in Mean Platelet Volume from Baseline Is Associated with Mortality in Patients with Severe Sepsis or Septic Shock
INTRODUCTION Mean platelet volume (MPV) is suggested as an index of inflammation, disease activity, and anti-inflammatory treatment efficacy in chronic inflammatory disorders; however, the effect of MPV on sepsis mortality remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated whether the change in MPV between hospital admission and 72 hours (ΔMPV72h-adm) predicts 28-day mortality in severe sepsis and/or ...
متن کاملCirculatory YKL-40 & NLR: Underestimated Prognostic Indicators in Diffuse Glioma
In addition to histopathological parameters, evaluation of associated hematological factors is essential for devising a sensitive prognostic scale in glioma. Increased neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a marker of systemic inflammatory response, has recently been associated with worse outcome in various cancers. Given that glioma progression is characterized by inflammation, aggressive angioge...
متن کاملThe effect of physiologic dose of intravenous hydrocortisone in patients with refractory septic shock: a randomized control trial
Objective: Septic shock is a response to infection and tissue hypoperfusion which does not respond to fluid therapy and eventually leads to organ dysfunction. Aggressive treatment of a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and supportive measures are the cornerstones of successful treatment. In addition to the main treatment, there are adjunctive therapies. Steroids are one of the treat...
متن کاملPro-atrial natriuretic peptide (pro-ANP) level in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock: prognostic and diagnostic significance
BACKGROUND To establish the prognostic and discriminative value of the pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (pro-ANP) level in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. PATIENTS AND METHODS An observational and prospective study was conducted on 50 critically ill patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. Measurements of the level of procalcitonin (PCT) and mid-regional pro-ANP were determined...
