Comparative Analysis of Mean Platelet Volume and Immature Platelet Fraction in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Case-Control Study

Key Result

Elevated mean platelet volume (MPV) and immature platelet fraction (IPF) are significantly associated with acute ischemic stroke and may serve as cost-effective diagnostic markers.

Key Points

• The study aims to investigate the relationship between mean platelet volume (MPV) and immature platelet fraction (IPF) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.
• Conducted a case-control analysis comparing MPV and IPF levels between AIS patients and a control group.
• Assessed the significance of MPV and IPF as potential diagnostic markers for AIS.
• Evaluated the relationship of MPV with diabetes mellitus and hypertension among patients.
• Both MPV and IPF were found to be significantly elevated in acute ischemic stroke patients compared to controls.
• MPV demonstrated substantial potential as a risk stratifier in patients with diabetes and hypertension.
• Findings indicate that these markers could serve as accessible diagnostic tools for AIS.
