This case-control study evaluates MPV and PDW as early markers of sepsis in neonates, suggesting potential clinical utility.
MPV and PDW are increased in neonates with sepsis, both in term and preterm. MPV is a better predictor of sepsis compared to PDW. So, both MPV and PDW can be used as a surrogate marker of NS and as a predictor of mortality.
