Mean Platelet Volume to Platelet Count Ratio as a Promising Predictor of Early Mortality in Severe Sepsis

Abstract

In our study, MPV or platelet count alone did not predict shock and 28-day mortality in patients with severe sepsis receiving EGDT. However, the MPV/platelet ratio at ED admission and on day 1 is a promising prognostic marker for 28-day mortality in patients with severe sepsis.
