Abstract:
This study was designed to compare the complete blood count (CBC) values of 38 violent suicidal attempt (VSA) and 38 nonviolent suicidal attempt (NVSA) patients and 38 healthy controls, particularly mean platelet volume (MPV) and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR). MPV was found to be significantly higher (P = 0.000), and PLT was found to be significantly lower in the VSA group (P = 0.001). NLR was found to be significantly higher (P = 0.005) in the VSA group. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of MPV levels for VSA was 0.78 and 0.68 for NLR in the VSA group when compared with the NVSA group.
