Objective: Prediction of mortality in the patient of the intensive care unit is essential. It was aimed to study the mortality predictive value of mean platelet volume (MPV) in patients with severe head trauma. Study design: The mean platelet volumes were measured in patients with head injury managed intensive care unit between 1 December 2017 and 1 January 2019 at admission and exitus date. Methods: The main outcome variable was mortality due to the traumatic event of patients. 43 patients with head trauma admitted to the intensive care unit during the study period. 17 patients died (Group I), 26 survived (Group II). Results: There was not an association between MPV and mortality at admission. However, Cox regression analysis showed that late MPV (at exitus or discharged date), WBC at admission, and age increase the mortality rate 1,770, 1,202, 1,052 times, respectively. Conclusion: The present study shows that MPV may be a useful predictor of mortality in the patient with severe head trauma. More detailed studies are needed.

AbstractThis study included patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage who were treated in intensive care unit of GATA Haydarpasa Training Hospital, Division of Internal Medicine during 1 year. Medical and demographic data of the patients were recorded. These patients were followed for 3 months after being discharged from the intensive care unit. Of the 50 patients in the study, 18 were female (36%), 32 were male (64%). The mean age was 47±2 years, and the ages ranged between 17 and 89 years. We did not find any statistically significant results in our evaluation of the relationship between the mean platelet volume and the number of transfusions, endoscopic findings, and prognosis after 3 months of follow-up.

Background. Sepsis and septic shock are the most severe clinical expressions of infection, despite having characterized several decades ago, remain as a diagnostic challenging and this can delay treatment and increasing hospital cost secondary to this pathology. Our objective was to determine the usefulness of the mean platelet volume delta (ΔVPM) as a predictor of mortality. Methodology. We performed an observational and descriptive study with 83 patients with Sepsis and / or septic shock criteria, from May 1, 2017 to August 1, 2017. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan and Meier tables and was corroborated by the Long Rank test. The prognostic value through the proportional risk of Cox. Results. Thirty-seven patients (44.6%) died because of the septic process. A univariate Cox regression analysis revealed a MPV / platelet index at admission of less than 4 was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of mortality from sepsis or septic shock at 60 days (HR, 0.236; 95% CI, 0.083-0.671; p = 0.007). The DVPM was not significantly associated with a reduction in the risk of mortality (HR, 0.373, 95% CI, 0.132-1.057, p = 0.640). Conclusion. The platelet parameters are economical and available, providing diagnostic and prognostic results, avoiding costs, time and special tests. The VPM / PLQ index could be an effective "Alert System" in early sepsis.
