Abstract

BACKGROUND: Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are produced in bone marrow and are the second most numerous blood cells which circulate in blood and play a pivotal role in hemostasis, wound healing, angiogenesis. There is a large body of evidence that platelets are likely to contribute to inflammation in multiple diseases. Also, recent studies revealed the association between platelet indices (PI) and inflammation. METHODS: PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases were searched and only papers published in the last 10 years were consequently analyzed. RESULTS: The most frequently evaluated parameters are mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet diversity index (PDW), plateletcrit (PCT) and the presence of larger platelets (P-LCRs platelet larger cell ratio). The values of platelet indices (PI) were elevated in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, cancers or acute surgical conditions, such as appendicitis. The measurement of PIs does not generate additional costs and can be performed during routine cell blood count, not requiring additional blood samples. CONCLUSIONS: Platelet indices may have prognostic and predictive value in numerous conditions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
