Why the study?
The study was conducted to investigate the impact of platelet distribution width and mean platelet volume on the prognosis of patients with acute STEMI.
Do high mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width predict in-hospital mortality and long-term MACEs in patients with acute STEMI undergoing PCI?
Population
435 patients with acute STEMI undergoing PCI
Comparison
High vs low PDW, high vs low MPV, and combined score groups 0 vs 1 vs 2
Design
Observational cohort study

High PDW and MPV may refine STEMI prognosis post-PCI; leaves open incremental value over established markers in prospective studies.
Do high mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width predict in-hospital mortality and long-term MACEs in patients with acute STEMI undergoing PCI?
Elevated mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width are independent predictors of in-hospital mortality and long-term MACEs in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI, offering a simple prognostic tool.
