Mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio (MPV/PC) has been found to be an independent risk factor for mortality in various diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and hemodialysis. We ...
We conducted a retrospective cohort study at a single center and enrolled 1473 PD patients who were catheterized at our PD center from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2013. All patients were divided ...
Our results indicated that low MPV/PC level was an independent risk factor for all-cause and CV mortality in PD patients aged less than 60 years....
To understand better those factors relevant to the increment of rise in platelet count following a platelet transfusion among thrombocytopenic neonates....
We reviewed all platelet transfusions over 6 years in our multi-neonatal intensive care unit system. For every platelet transfusion in 8 neonatal centers we recorded: (1) platelet count before and aft...
We evaluated 1797 platelet transfusions administered to 605 neonates (median one/recipient, mean 3, and range 1-52). The increment was not associated with gestational age at birth, postnatal age at tr...
The magnitude of post-transfusion rise was unaffected by most variables we studied. However, the increment was lower in neonates with consumptive thrombocytopenia, after pathogen reduction, with longe...
Platelets play a role in hemostasis, thrombosis, and vascular integrity. They also play a major role in the development of inflammation and the activation of immune responses. They have phagocytic act...
Platelets are primarily recognized for their role in hemostasis, but also regulate immune responses by interacting with leukocytes. Their highly sensitive nature enables platelets to rapidly respond t...
Many studies have reported the association between platelets and preeclampsia. However, sample sizes were small, and their findings were inconsistent. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysi...
A systematic literature search was performed using Medline, Embase, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, NICHD-DASH, LILACS, and Scopus from inception to April 22, 2022....
Observational studies comparing platelet count between women with preeclampsia and normotensive pregnant women were included....
The mean differences with 95% confidence interval in platelet count were calculated. Heterogeneity was assessed using I...
A total of 56 studies comprising 4892 preeclamptic and 9947 normotensive pregnant women were included. Meta-analysis showed that platelet count was significantly lower in women with preeclampsia than ...
This meta-analysis confirmed that platelet count was significantly lower in preeclamptic women, irrespective of severity and presence or absence of associated complications, even before the onset of p...
Megakaryocytes (MKs), a kind of functional hematopoietic stem cell, form platelets to maintain platelet balance through cell differentiation and maturation. In recent years, the incidence of blood dis...
Platelet transfusion is commonly performed in infants to correct severe thrombocytopenia or prevent bleeding. Exploring the associations of platelet transfusion, platelet count (PC), and mean platelet...
To evaluate the associations of platelet transfusion, PC, and MPV with IVH and in-hospital mortality and to explore whether platelet transfusion-associated IVH and mortality risks vary with PC and MPV...
This retrospective cohort study included preterm infants who were transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit on their day of birth and received ventilation during their hospital stay. The study w...
Platelet transfusion, PC, and MPV....
Any grade IVH, severe IVH (grade 3 or 4), and in-hospital mortality....
Among the 1221 preterm infants (731 [59.9%] male; median [IQR] gestational age, 31.0 [29.0-33.0] weeks), 94 (7.7%) received 166 platelet transfusions. After adjustment for potential confounders, plate...
In preterm infants, platelet transfusion, PC, and MPV were associated with mortality, and PC was also associated with any grade IVH and severe IVH. The findings suggest that a lower platelet transfusi...
The familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is an ultra rare disease caused by lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency associated with potentially lethal acute pancreatitis risk. Thrombocytopenia (platele...
To evaluate post-prandial fluctuations in the platelet count (PLC) and functional defects of hemostasis in FCS....
PLC, functional defects in hemostasis and hematologic variables were measured up-to 5 h after a meal in 6 homozygotes for FCS causing gene variants (HoLPL), 6 heterozygotes for LPL loss-of-function va...
Hourly post-prandial PLC was significantly lower in HoLPL than in controls (P < 0.009). Compared to the other groups, the PLC tended to decrease rapidly (in the first hour) post-meal in HoLPL (P = 0.0...
The PLC decreases post-prandially in FCS (HoLPL), is not associated with changes in functional defects of hemostasis and correlates with the NLR, a marker of acute pancreatitis severity....
This study aimed to evaluate the role of platelet count (PLT) in the prognosis of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)....
The data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care database (version 2.2). Patients diagnosed with ARDS according to criteria from Berlin Definition and had the platelet coun...
Overall, the final analysis included 3,207 eligible participants with ARDS. According to the Kaplan-Meier curves for 28-day mortality of PLT, PLT ≤ 100 × 10...
PLT appeared to be an independent predictor of mortality in critically ill patients with ARDS....
Linezolid (LZD) is one of the antibiotics used to treat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In Japan, the dose of LZD is not generally adjusted by renal function or therapeutic drug monitorin...
Fifty-five critically ill patients with existing thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 100 ×103 /μL) who received LZD for five days or more during the period from January 2011 to October 2018 were includ...
Mean (± standard error) platelet count prior to initiation of LZD was 47 ± 4 ×103 /uL, which increased significantly to 86 ± 13 ×103 /uL on day 15 (p<0.01). Median [interquartile range] duration of LZ...
Thrombocytopenia in critically ill patients in the ICU did not worsen after initiation of LZD therapy, and may be considered for the treatment of MRSA in this setting....
