MEAN PLATELET VOLUME TO PLATELET COUNT RATIO AS A PREDICTOROF EARLY MORTALITY IN SEPSIS

Abstract

Background: Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.Sepsis frequently results in dysfunction of the hemostatic system. A humble attempt has been made to see the relation of mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio in predicting immediate outcome in sepsis in this study.
