Mean platelet component and mean platelet volume as useful screening markers for myelodysplastic syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Background:Hematologic disorders, including myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), are difficult to identify in routine hematologic examinations using automated hematology analyzers. However, the practical uses of mean platelet component and mean platelet volume (MPV) measured by these analyzers as screening markers for MDS, remain unclear. Methods:Mean platelet component and MPV values were measured in the peripheral blood of patients with MDS, aplastic anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and in healthy controls using an automated hematologic analyzer. Cutoff values for discriminating between the MDS group and healthy controls were determined by recursive partitioning analysis. Results:Mean platelet component was significantly lower in MDS patients compared with controls, while MPV was significantly higher. Combined cutoff values for MDS diagnosis of <25.3 g/dL for mean platelet component and >10.0 fL for MPV showed a specificity and positive predictive value of 99.9% and 99.1%, respectively. These cutoff values also differentiated between MDS and diagnoses of aplastic anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and myeloproliferative neoplasms. Conclusion:Mean platelet component and MPV may, thus, be useful and convenient screening markers for MDS.

Project description:IntroductionSepsis is a public health problem due to its high prevalence and mortality. Mean platelet volume (MPV), a biomarker reported in routine blood counts, has been investigated and shows promise for determining fatal outcomes in septic patients.ObjectiveEvaluate whether the mean platelet volume (MPV) and mean platelet volume-to-platelet count (MPV/P) ratio are predictors of clinical severity and mortality in patients with sepsis.MethodsA prospective population cohort of 163 patients aged 18-97 years was recruited at the Intensive Care Unit of Pablo Arturo Hospital, Quito, Ecuador from 2017-2019 and followed up for 28 days. Patients were diagnosed with sepsis based on SEPSIS-3 septic shock criteria; in which the MPV and the MPV/P ratio were measured on days 1, 2, and 3. Sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score and presence of septic shock assessed clinical severity. Mortality on day 28 was considered the fatal outcome.ResultsThe average age of the patients was 61,15 years (SD 20,94) and female sex was predominant. MPV cutoff points at days 1, 2 and 3 were >9,45fL, >8,95fL and >8, 85fL; and (MPV/P) ratio >8, 18, >4, 12 y >3, 95, respectively. MPV at days 2 (9,85fL) and 3 (8,55fL) and (MPV/P) ratio at days 1 (4,42), 2 (4,21), and 3 (8,55), were predictors of clinical severity assessed by septic shock, which reached significance in the ROC curves. MPV and (MPV/P) ratio were also predictors of clinical severity determined by SOFA at days 1, 2, and 3, where higher values were observed in non-survivors reaching significance in all categories. MPV and MPV/P ratio at days 1, 2 and 3 were independent predictor factors of mortality using Cox proportional hazards model (HR 2,31; 95% CI 1,36-3,94), (HR 2,11; 95% CI 1,17-3,82), (HR 2,13; 95% CI 1,07-4,21) and (HR 2,38; 95% CI 1,38-4,12), (HR 2,15; 95% CI 1,14-4,06), (HR 4,43; 95% CI, 1,72-11,37) respectively.ConclusionsMPV and the MPV/P ratio are predictors of clinical severity and mortality in sepsis. The MPV and its coefficient are indicators of the biological behavior of platelets in sepsis. They should be considered as a cost-effective and rapidly available tool that guides the treatment.

Project description:BackgroundDespite polysomnography (PSG) being acknowledged being considered the gold standard for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), researchers have been seeking a biomarker that is less invasive, more practical in detection, and cost-effective for diagnosing and assessing the severity of the disease. To address this concern, the values of mean platelet volume (MPV) between patients with OSAHS and healthy controls were compared, and the relationship between MPV and multiple sleep monitoring parameters was analyzed in this study.MethodsA comprehensive search was conducted across medical databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, CNKI, and Wanfang, up until August 2, 2023, to identify published articles related to OSAHS. This study reviewed the literature regarding the values of MPV in individuals with OSAHS and control groups, the Pearson/Spearman correlation coefficients between MPV and sleep monitoring parameters, and the odds ratios (OR) of MPV concerning the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in patients with OSAHS. Meta-analyses were performed using standardized mean difference (SMD), Fisher's z values correlation coefficients (ZCOR) and odds ratio (OR) as effect variables. A fixed-effect model was used if the heterogeneity was not significant (I2<50%); otherwise, a random-effect model was applied. We will also combine the treatment effect estimates of individual trials using fixed-effect and random-effects models. Statistical analysis was carried out by employing STATA 11.0 and R 4.1.3.ResultsIn total, 31 articles were selected for the final analysis. The study involved 3604 patients and 1165 control individuals. The MPV in the OSAHS group was considerably elevated in comparison to the healthy controls (SMD = 0.37, 95%CI = 0.21-0.53, P < 0.001), particularly among individuals with severe OSAHS (SMD = 0.57, 95%CI = 0.23-0.90, P = 0.001). Subgroup analysis based on ethnicity, mean body mass index (BMI), and study design type also revealed a considerably higher MPV in the OSAHS category in comparison to the healthy controls. Furthermore, MPV showed correlations with various sleep monitoring parameters. The elevation of MPV may be one of the risk factors for CVDs in individuals with OSAHS (adjusted OR = 1.72, 95%CI = 1.08-2.73, P = 0.022).ConclusionMPV is a relatively simple, cost-effective, and practical indicator of the severity of OSAHS, with its values being linked to the risk of CVDs in individuals with OSAHS.
