Introduction. Acute appendicitis is the leading cause of abdominal pain in children requiring emergency surgical intervention. The aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic value of MPV in early diagnosis of acute appendicitis cases in pediatric age group. Methods. This study was performed retrospectively. Three hundred five patients operated on with the diagnosis of appendicitis and pathologically found to be acute appendicitis were classified as Group 1 and 305 healthy children were classified as control Group 2. Results. One hundred ninety-seven of 305 cases in Group 1 are males (64.6%), in Group 2, 151 of 305 cases are males (49.5%). The mean MPV in Group 1 was 7.9 ± 0.9 (fL), and whereas in Group 2 was 7.7 ± 0.8 (fL). There was no statistically significant difference regarding MPV values (P > 0.05). Conclusion. In our study we detected that mean platelet volume has no diagnostic value in pediatric acute appendicitis cases.
引言。急性阑尾炎是需要紧急手术干预的儿童腹痛的主要原因。本研究的目的是探讨平均血小板体积(MPV)在小儿急性阑尾炎病例早期诊断中的价值。方法。本研究为回顾性研究。305例诊断为阑尾炎且病理检查确诊为急性阑尾炎的手术患者被分为第1组,305例健康儿童被分为对照组第2组。结果。第1组305例中有197例为男性(64.6%),第2组305例中有151例为男性(49.5%)。第1组的平均MPV为7.9±0.9(fL),而第2组为7.7±0.8(fL)。MPV值无统计学显著差异(P>0.05)。结论。在我们的研究中,我们发现平均血小板体积在小儿急性阑尾炎病例中无诊断价值。
