Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) affects more than 1.2 billion individuals globally. In addition to anemia, reactive thrombocytosis is also a common clinical hematological condition in patients with IDA. ...
The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) value is a simple and fast parameter that shows an elevation in the presence of infectious disease. It is thought that proinflammatory signals cause changes...
We retrospectively investigated 200 patients who underwent liver transplantation (LT) in our center. The study group was 100 patients who underwent LT and developed a postoperative abdominal or cathet...
In our study, we found RDW and NLR parameters to be elevated in correlation with infection in patients who underwent LT (P < .05). Other markers were elevated but not significantly correlated with inf...
These parameters can be simple and effective additional tools to implement in patients suspected of infection. Further prospective studies with larger patient groups and varying infection states are r...
Although thrombocytopenia on admission to the ICU is associated with increased in-hospital mortality in septic patients, the role of longitudinally measured platelet counts, which are dynamically chan...
Prophylactic endoscopic band ligation (EBL) is used to prevent variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis. The association of thrombocytopenia, high INR (international normalized ratio) and li...
We analyzed real-life data of cirrhotic patients undergoing elective EBL at two large Viennese centers between Q1/2000-Q1/2018. PRB was defined as bleeding occurring within 30 days after EBL....
We included 617 patients undergoing a total of 1178 prophylactic EBL procedures (median 2 per patient). Sixteen (2.6%) of 617 patients experienced PRB after a median of 12.5 (IQR 17.3) days with no di...
EBL is safe and procedure-related bleedings are rare (2.6%) including in patients with thrombocytopenia < 50 G/L or high INR ≥ 1.5. Only high MELD, and especially high bilirubin seem to be linked to a...
Platelet (PLT) engages in immune and inflammatory responses, all of which are related to the prognosis of critically ill patients. Although thrombocytopenia at ICU admission contributes to in-hospital...
We adopted a three-phase, multi-cohort study strategy. Firstly, longitudinal PLT trajectory patterns within the first four ICU days and their associations with 28-day survival were tested in the eICU ...
A total of 35,332 ICU patients were included from three cohorts. Trajectory analysis clustered patients into ascending (AS), stable (ST), or descending (DS) PLT patterns. DS patients with high baselin...
Longitudinal PLT trajectory is a complementary predictor to baseline PLT for patient survival, even in patients without risk of thrombocytopenia. Mortality-GRID could identify patients at high mortali...
To examine the clinical significance of thrombocytosis (platelets > 500 × 10...
We performed a database analysis consisting of patients evaluated at our medical centers with an influenza-like illness between 2009 and 2013. We included paediatric patients and examined the associat...
A total of 5171 children were included in the study cohort (median age 0.8 years; interquartile range, 0.2-1.8; 58% male). Younger age, and not the type of viral infection, was associated with a high ...
In children admitted with an influenza-like illness, a high platelet count is an independent predictor of admission outcomes. Platelet count may be used to improve risk assessment and management decis...
To study the prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and platelet count in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cance...
This was a retrospective study on a database of platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer patients who received treatment at HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center (MSMC) betw...
In total, 56 patients were recruited in this study. The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 33 (95%CI 23-43) and 11 (95%CI 8-16) months, respectively. Survival analys...
The NLR, PLR, and platelet count were not associated with both the OS or PFS in patients with PS-ROC. However, the WBC level is an easy, readily available, and economical way to predict survival outco...
The most severe complication after posterior single-segment lumbar interbody fusion and internal fixation (PIFIF) surgery for degenerative lumbar diseases is deep surgical site infection (DSSI). Preop...
A single-center retrospective study was conducted from January 2016 to February 2021 at Xi'an Jiaotong University-Affiliated Honghui Hospital, involving 83 patients who underwent revision surgery afte...
There were no significant differences in baseline demographic characteristics between the two patient groups (P > 0.05). The P/M ratio was 13.54 ± 5.05 in the aseptic revision group, while it was 19.2...
Platelets and their related serum biomarkers are closely associated with DSSI. The P/M ratio can serve as a reliable test for screening DSSI and is worth considering for inclusion in the assessment of...
Klotho is a protein that is closely related to human aging. Soluble Klotho (S-Klotho) is a circulating protein, and its level decreases in response to systemic inflammation. The relationship between t...
Data from individuals who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during the five cycles from 2007 to 2016 were retrieved for analysis. Linear regression, two-pie...
A total of 11,123 participants (5463 men (48.17%)), with an average age of 56.2 years, were included. After full adjustment, the S-Klotho levels of participants in the highest quartile group of PHR (β...
Both the PHR and PC were significantly negatively associated with S-Klotho concentrations, and these associations were nonlinear. There was no significant association between HDL-C and S-Klotho concen...
