Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between
disease severity, mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width in
stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Methods: The study included 120 consecutive patients with stable chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease and 30 consecutive
age-matched healthy subjects (control
group). Patients
were classified as A (mild), B (mild to moderate), C (moderate to severe) and D
(severe) defined by the GOLD committee and grouped as A/B (n= 60) and C/D
(n=60).

Results: Platelet levels were not different among the groups. Mean
platelet volume was lower in all patients than control group (p=0.001). Level
of platelet distribution width was higher in all patients than control group (p=0.018).
Mean platelet volume in C/D groups were significantly lower than A/B group (p=0.011)
and control group (p=0.001). Mean platelet volume in A/B group were also significantly
lower than control group (p=0.001). Erythrocyte sedimentation rates were higher
in A/B and C/D groups than control group (p=0.007 and p=0.001, respectively). C-reactive
protein levels in control group were significantly lower than C/D group (p=0.001).
No statistically significant correlations were observed between mean platelet volume and forced
expiratory volume in one second and forced expiratory volume in one second/forced
vital capacity or between mean platelet volume and other inflammatory
parameters in A/B or C/D groups. Significant positive
correlations were found between erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive
protein (r=0.375; p=0.003), and between mean platelet volume and platelet
large cell ratio (r=0.749; p=0.001) in
C and D groups.

Conclusion: It was concluded that mean platelet volume could be used as a negative acute‑phase
reactant in evaluation of disease
severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as C-reactive protein.

Stabil kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığında ortalama trombosit hacmi ve trombosit dağılım genişliğinin hastalık şiddeti ile ilişkisinin değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığında ortalama
trombosit hacmi ve trombosit dağılım genişliği ile hastalık şiddeti arasındaki
ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.

Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 120 ardışık kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastası ve
yaşları eşleştirilmiş 30 ardışık sağlıklı kişi (kontrol grubu) alındı. GOLD komitesi
tarafından tanımlanan kronik obstrüktif
akciğer hastalığı şiddetini belirlemek için hastalar A (hafif), B (hafif-orta),
C (orta-şiddetli) ve D (şiddetli) olarak sınıflandı ve A/B (n=60) ve C/D (n=60)
olarak gruplandı.

Bulgular: Gruplar arasında trombosit düzeylerinin istatistiksel olarak
anlamlı olmadığı bulundu. Ortalama trombosit hacmi tüm hastalarda kontrollere
göre daha düşüktü (p=0.001). Tüm hastalarda trombosit
dağılım genişliği düzeyleri kontrol grubundan daha yüksekti (p=0.018). Ortalama trombosit
hacmi C/D grubunda, A/B grubu (p=0.011) ve kontrol grubundan (p=0.001) anlamlı olarak düşük
bulundu. Ortalama trombosit hacmi, A/B
grubunda kontrol grubundan anlamlı derecede düşük bulundu (p=0.001). Eritrosit sedimantasyon
hızı A/B ve C/D gruplarında kontrol
grubundan daha yüksek iken (sırasıyla, p=0.007 ve p=0.001). C-reaktif protein düzeyleri kontrol grubunda C/D grubundan anlamlı
derecede düşük bulundu (p=0.001). A/B veya C/D
gruplarında ortalama trombosit hacmi ile bir saniyedeki zorlu ekspiratuar
hacim, bir saniyedeki zorlu ekspiratuar hacim/zorlu vital kapasite oranı ve
diğer inflamatuar parametreler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki
görülmedi. C/D grubunda eritrosit
sedimantasyon hızı, C-reaktif protein düzeyleri (r=0.375; p=0.003) ile ve ortalama
trombosit hacmi de büyük hücreli platelet oranı ile (r=0.749; p=0.001) pozitif korelasyon gösterdi.

Sonuç: Bu çalışma kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığında klasik pozitif
akut faz reaktanı C-reaktif proteinin yanı sıra düşük ortalama trombosit hacmi’nin
hastalık şiddetinin değerlendirilmesinde negatif akut faz reaktanı olarak
kullanılabileceğini düşündürmektedir.
