The predictive value of mean platelet volume, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio and platelet lymphocyte ratio in acute middle cerebral artery infarction patients

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the predictive value of mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR) in patients with acute middle cerebral artery (MCA)branch infarction. 
Method: This examination was performed on the files of 50 patients followed up at the Anesthesia and Reanimation ICU of Onsekiz Mart University Hospital between April 2017 and September 2019 for acute occlusion in the MCA branch, with no previous history of an ischemic stroke. These patients were assessed with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and the Modified Rankin Score (mRS). The ratios of the neutrophil and platelet countsto the lymphocyte count (NLR and PLR ratios) within the first hour of the stroke and MPV were compared to a control group.
Results: The study included 50 patients with the acute ischemia of the MCA branch, of which 28 (56%) were female. The control group consisted of 50 healthy people, and 24 (48%) of these were female. The mean NIHSS score of the patients was 11.4 ± 2.6, and their mean mRS was 2.5 ± 1.5. 
Conclusions: In our study with patients who had acute middle cerebral artery infarction, we found that the NLR, PLR, and MPV levels within the first hour of stroke were higher in the patient group in comparison to the control group ona statistically significant level. However, multicenter studies with larger subject groups are needed for the use of hematological parameters as biomarkers in an ischemic stroke
