Abstract
Mean platelet volume (MPV) has been associated with the prognosis in stroke patients.
However, its spontaneous variability during the acute phase of the disease is unknown.
Materials and Methods - One hundred and thirty-seven patients with ischemic stroke,
aged 75.4+/-11.0 (SD) years, were classified according to several criteria: National
Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, maximum lesion diameter on CT scan,
Oxfordshire Community Stroke Projects (OCSP) and Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke
Treatment (TOAST) categories. Platelet parameters were determined 1.2 days after the
onset of symptoms, and after 3.0 further days.
