Mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio as a laboratory indicator of mortality in pneumonia following ischemic stroke

Abstract Background Platelets have a vital role in antimicrobial host defenses. The objective of this study was to evaluate if increased mean platelet volume to platelet count (MPV/PC) ratio in acute ischemic stroke patients complicated with pneumonia was associated with increased mortality risk. Me...
