To investigate the diagnostic importance of mean platelet volume (MPV) on acute pulmonary embolism (APE) in the emergency Department (ED).
Subjects were selected from patients admitted to ED with clinically suspected APE. Demographic, anthropometric and serologic data were collected for each patient.
A total of 315 consecutive patients were analyzed, including 150 patients (53.44 ± 15.14 y; 92 men/58 women) in APE group and 165 patients (49.80 ±13.76y; 94 men/71 women) in the control group. MPV in the APE group was significantly higher than in the control group (9.42±1.22 fl vs. 8.04±0.89 fl, p<0.0001). The best cut-off values for MPV when predicting APE in patients with clinically suspected APE presenting at the ED were 8.55 fl (sensitivity 82.2%; specificity 52.3%).
MPV is a helpful parameter for the diagnosis of APE in ED, for the first time in the literature.
探讨平均血小板体积（MPV）在急诊科对急性肺栓塞（APE）的诊断价值。
选取急诊科临床怀疑为APE的患者。收集每位患者的人口统计学、人体测量学和血清学数据。
共分析了315例连续患者，其中APE组150例（53.44±15.14岁；男92例/女58例），对照组165例（49.80±13.76岁；男94例/女71例）。APE组的MPV显著高于对照组（9.42±1.22 fl对8.04±0.89 fl，p<0.0001）。急诊科临床怀疑为APE的患者中，MPV预测APE的最佳截断值为8.55 fl（敏感性82.2%；特异性52.3%）。
本文首次表明，MPV是急诊科诊断APE的一个有用参数。
