Relationship Between Platelet Indices and Prolonged Hospitalization in Patients with Acute Pancreatitis: A Retrospective Observational Study

Abstract

Aim: To investigate relationship between platelet count, platelet mass index, mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width and plateletcrit and prolonged hospitalization in patients with acute pancreatitis. Material and Method: This study was conducted as a retrospective cohort study of all patients with acute pancreatitis from a tertiary level, academic emergency department between June 2017 and July 2021. Demographics, comorbidities, laboratory parameters, length of stay in the hospital and 30-day mortality information of the patients were recorded using computer-based data system of the hospital. Hospitalizations lasting longer than 7 days were considered as prolonged hospitalization. Results: 752 patients with a median of age of 58 years (25th-75th percentiles: 43.5-75) were included in the study. The median length of hospital stay of the enrolled patients was 4 days (25th-75th percentiles: 3-7). The hospitalization of 166 patients was prolonged, and the prolonged hospitalization rate was 22.1%. The univariate analysis for platelet indices showed that there was no statistically significant difference [Platelet count (p=0.543), mean platelet volume (p=0.656), plateletcrit (p=0.427), platelet distribution width (p=0.497), and platelet mass index (p=0.484)]. Conclusion: There is no clear relationship between platelet indices and prolonged hospitalization and they could not be predictors of prolonged hospitalization in patients with acute pancreatitis.
