The role of mean platelet volume in @entity1 with non-specific XXXX in an emergency department.

@entity1 @entity32 @entity6688 @entity490
INTRODUCTION: Platelets play an important role in @entity32 . Mean platelet volume ( @entity6688 ) may be a useful parameter for inflammatory conditions, in differentiating between non-specific @entity490 (NSAP) and conditions requiring surgery, or early diagnosis of @entity490 as a serious problem for emergency services. AIM: To investigate the role of @entity6688 on NSAP admittance to the emergency department. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study consisted of 330 @entity1 (186 female and 144 male, with mean age 49   20 years) with NSAP and 249 @entity1 with @entity490 (144 female and 105 male, with mean age 49   19 years) applied to our emergency service and enrolled to our study. Medical history, physical examination, complete blood count (CBC), and biochemical parameters were evaluated. Haematological parameters were measured by Beckman Coulter LH 780 instrument. Data were compared using Student's t test, and p < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. RESULTS: The @entity6688 were significantly lower in @entity1 with NSAP than in others (p = 0.025). There was no significant difference between both sexes with regard to @entity6688 (p > 0.05). Moreover, the other haematological parameters (haemoglobin, platelet, or WBC counts) were not statistically different between both groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The @entity6688 may be a useful, simple, and inexpensive parameter to diagnose or differentiate between NSAP and other conditions.
