Correlation Between Platelet Counts and MPV Values With Mortality Rates in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of platelet counts and MPV values with mortality rates in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The sample used for this study was ischemic stroke patients at RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang as many as 66 samples consisting of 33 live patients and 33 patients died. Data analysis uses independent t-test. The mean result of platelet count in patients with acute ischemic stroke who died (233,520 ± 71.1 / mm3) was significantly lower (p <0.05) compared to living patients (301,580 ± 85.6 / mm3). The mean MPV value in patients with acute ischemic stroke who died (9.91 ± 1.7 fL) was significantly higher (p <0.05) than in living patients (7.73 ± 0.7 fL). There is a positive correlation between platelet counts and MPV values (r = 0.32; p = 0.008) with mortality rates in acute ischemic stroke patients.
