Key result
A 1 femtoliter increase in admission mean platelet volume was associated with a 29% increased risk of long-term mortality in patients with coronary artery disease.
Why the study?
Mean platelet volume is widely available, but its prognostic significance in patients with coronary artery disease remains unclear.
Does admission mean platelet volume predict long-term mortality in patients with coronary artery disease?

A 1 femtoliter increase in admission mean platelet volume is associated with a 29% increased risk of long-term mortality in patients with coronary artery disease.
Background Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a widely available laboratory index, however its prognostic significance in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is still unclear. We intended to investigate and pool the evidence on the prognostic utility of admission MPV in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with CAD. Methods PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were the major databases used for literature search. The risk of bias was assessed using the quality in prognostic factor studies. We used random-effects pairwise analysis with the Knapp and Hartung approach supported further with permutation tests and prediction intervals (PIs). Results We identified 52 studies with 47066 patients. A meta-analysis of 9 studies with 14,864 patients demonstrated that 1 femtoliter increase in MPV values was associated with a rise of 29% in the risk of long-term mortality (hazard ratio (HR) 1.29, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.22-1.37) in CAD as a whole. The results were further supported with PIs, permutation tests and leave-one-out sensitivity analyses. MPV also demonstrated its stable and significant prognostic utility in predicting long-term mortality as a linear variable in patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and presented with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.20-1.39, and 1.29, 95% CI 1.19-1.39, respectively). Conclusion The meta-analysis found robust evidence on the link between admission MPV and the increased risk of long-term mortality in patients with CAD patients, as well as in patients who underwent PCI and patients presented with ACS.

Galimzhanov et al. (2024) conducted a meta-analysis in Coronary artery disease (n=47,066). Mean platelet volume (MPV) vs. Lower MPV was evaluated on Long-term mortality (HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.22-1.37). A 1 femtoliter increase in admission mean platelet volume was associated with a 29% increased risk of long-term mortality in patients with coronary artery disease.
