Diagnostic Value of Platelet Mass Index, Plt/Mpv Ratio and Other Hemogram Parameters in Covid-19 Patients Who Presented to Emergency Department
Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare PMI, PLT/MPV, and other hemogram parameters between COVID-19 patients and a control group and to determine the parameters that are significant in discrimination between COVID-19 and non-COVID 19.
Methods: Data of a total of 80 patients who presented to the emergency department of our hospital with the symptoms suggesting COVID-19 with PCR (+) result and 80 healthy controls with a PCR (-) test results were retrospectively analyzed. Patients’ laboratory parameters including white blood cells (WBC), neutrophils count, lymphocytes count, monocytes count, neutrophils to lymphocytes ratio (NLR), lymphocytes to monocytes ratio (LMR), platelets (PLT), platelets to lymphocytes ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), platelet mass index (PMI), RDW/MPV and PLT/MPV ratios were analyzed. At the same time, a ROC analysis was performed for determining laboratory indicators in distinguishing control and COVID-19 positive cases from each other.
Results: In our study, WBC, lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, LMR, platelets, PMI, and PLT/MPV levels decreased, while PLR and MPV values increased in COVID-19 patients. According to ROC analysis, among the parameters examined in terms of discriminating between COVID-19 and control groups, LMR, PLR, PMI, and PLT/MPV parameters had significant areas under the curve. The best cut-off points of the parameter were found as <2.91 for LMR, 117.95 for PLR, 2167.65 for PMI, and <25.13 for PLT/MPV
Conclusion: Regular control visits are necessary for monitoring possible changes in hemogram parameters and to assess potential complications in future. For this purpose, blood parameters could provide practical methods.
