Bidirectional Mendelian randomization examines platelet indices' impact on COPD risk, highlighting suggestive associations for PLT and PCT.

Higher platelet count was suggestively linked to increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
In analyses, higher plateletcrit was associated with an elevated COPD risk, with an odds ratio of 1.025.
Bidirectional Mendelian randomization was undertaken on large genome-wide association studies for both platelet indices and COPD.
Results suggest potential roles for platelet indices in COPD pathogenesis, though definitive causal relationships remain unclear.

Liao et al. (2025) studied this question.
