The Relationship Between Platelet, Mean Platelet Volume, C- Reactive Protein And Mortality In Ischemic Stroke Patients

Aim: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between platelet, mean platelet volume, C-reactive protein and mortality in ischemic stroke patients who admitted to Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital Emergency Department with cerebrovascular disease between January 2016- July 2016. The most common encountered neurological disease is cerebrovascular diseases. Of the cerebrovascular diseases, ischemic stroke has a major importance due to its high mortality and morbidity. Ischemic stroke is the third leading reason of death in the world.
Material and Method: This study is a retrospective study and covers 322 patients who admitted to our Emergency Department for cerebrovascular disease between January 2016 and July 2016.
Results: Patient information system was searched as covering the study period. Information of age, sex, platelet, mean platelet volume and C-reactive protein levels at first admission were recorded. Obtained data were recorded in study form. With our analysis we detected meaningful relation between the higher age, higher C-reactive protein levels and mortality in ischemic stroke patients.
Study was performed with 322 patients in Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital between January 2016 and July 2016.
Quantitative data was reported as average ± standard deviation, categorical data was reported as number or percentage. In all statistical analysis p<0.05 was accepted as statistically meaningful difference. SPSS 10.0 for Windows was used for statistical analysis.
Conclusion: In our study, we detected meaningful relation between the higher age, higher C-reactive protein levels and mortality in ischemic stroke patients similar to the literature.
