Objective:
Uur aim was to investigate the association between OSAHS and mean platelet volume (MPV) value.
Method:
This study included 70 cases with OSAHS in our ward between Jan. 2012 and Jan. 2014, and the OSAHS patients were divided two groups: mild- to moderate group and severe group; 30 age-and sex-matched healthy subjects was in control group. The correlation among the levels of the number of platelets (PLT), MPV, platelet distribution width (PDW) were evaluated in the two groups.
Result:
PLT count was significantly lower in the severe group than the control group [(202. 8 ± 68. 9] × 10(9)/L, (235. 9 ± 65. 2) × 10(9)/L]; MPV and PDW were significantly higher in the severe group [(10. 9 ± 0. 9), (10. 4±0. 8) fL; (12. 9 ± 1. 9) %, (12. 0 ± 1. 4) %]. There was not significantly difference of MPV between the mild to moderate group and the control group [(10. 7 ± 0. 7), (10. 4 ± 0. 8)fL].
Conclusion:
MPV levels are elevated in patients with the severe OSAHS.
