Key result
Extreme (highest and lowest tertiles) admission MPV/platelet ratios were associated with higher 4-year all-cause mortality after NSTEMI compared to the middle tertile (HR 1.951; 95% CI 1.032-3.687).

May identify higher-risk NSTEMI patients; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Cohort (n=619)
Does the admission MPV/platelet ratio predict 4-year all-cause mortality in patients with NSTEMI?
Hazard Ratio: 1.951 (95% CI 1.032–3.687)
p-value: p=< 0.0396
The admission MPV/platelet ratio is a significant predictor of 4-year all-cause mortality after NSTEMI, with both high and low extremes associated with worse outcomes compared to intermediate values.
Azab et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (n=619). High or low admission MPV/platelet ratio (first and third tertiles) vs. Middle MPV/platelet ratio tertile was evaluated on 4-year all-cause mortality (HR 1.951, 95% CI 1.032-3.687, p=< 0.0396). Extreme (highest and lowest tertiles) admission MPV/platelet ratios were associated with higher 4-year all-cause mortality after NSTEMI compared to the middle tertile (HR 1.951; 95% CI 1.032-3.687).
