It is well recognized worldwide that communityacquired pneumonia (CAP) remains an
extremely common cause of infection, which is frequently associated with significant …

Platelets play an important role in hemostasis, inflammation, and immunity. Mean platelet
volume (MPV), considered a marker of platelet function and activation, is associated with …

Background: Platelets participate in many physiological and pathological functions and
some platelet parameters predict adult diseases. However, few studies report whether …

Introduction: This study aims to assess the association between mean platelet volume (MPV)
and poor outcome in patients with COVID-19. Methods: We performed a comprehensive …

Coronavirus was first detected in three severe pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China, in
December 2019. Studies on red cell distribution width (RDW-CV) and mean platelet volume …

Objectives This study investigated the relationship between 28-day mortality in patients with
COVID-19 pneumonia and the CURB-65 score, platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume …

Several recent studies have pointed out the relationship of platelet size with increased
mortality or adverse clinical course. Most studies show that increased mean platelet volume …

Background. Although mean platelet volume (MPV) appears to be associated with poor
outcome of pneumonia, the relationship between MPV and in‐hospital mortality is unclear in …

Objective Platelet function parameters can be predictive of several adult diseases and their
severity. However, few studies report on the association between platelet indices and …

Background Patients with influenza pneumonia are at high risk of rapid progression to acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Mean platelet volume (MPV), which reflects platelet …
