Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet distribution width (PDW), but not platelet count, was found to more comprehensively reflect platelet activity. The present study, thus, aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of PDW to lymphocyte ratio (PDWLR) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following hepatectomy. METHODS Patients following hepatectomy were analyzed retrospectively. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox regression model were used to determine the prognostic value of PDWLR. RESULTS 241 patients were analyzed eventually, and stratified into low and high PDWLR groups (≤ 9.66 vs. > 9.66). Results of comparing the baseline characteristics showed that high PDWLR was significantly associated with cirrhosis, and intraoperative blood loss (all P < 0.05). In multivariate COX regression analysis, PDWLR was demonstrated as an independent risk factor for OS (HR: 1.549, P = 0.041) and RFS (HR: 1.655, P = 0.005). Moreover, PDWLR demonstrated a superior capacity for predicting prognosis compared to other indicators. CONCLUSION Preoperative PDWLR has a potential value in predicting the prognosis of HCC patients following hepatectomy, which may help in clinical decision-making for individual treatment.

Platelet volume indices correlate to severity of heart failure and have prognostic value for both cardiac and thrombotic events in patients with congenital heart disease. Heart Vessels 2022; 37:2107-2118. [PMID: 35761122 DOI: 10.1007/s00380-022-02112-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
Patients with heart failure (HF) reportedly have activated platelets with increased platelet distribution width (PDW) and mean platelet volume (MPV), which lead to thrombotic events. These platelet indices are easily measured by routine blood tests and have been proposed as potential markers of cardiac events. We performed the present study to clarify whether platelet indices correlate to the severity of HF and to the prognosis of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). We performed a retrospective single-center study including 400 patients with CHD [median age, 34 years (range 12-76); 49% males] hospitalized between 2014 and 2017. We assessed their clinical data, correlation between platelet indices and severity of HF, and prognosis of HF-related hospitalization and thrombus formation. In multivariate analysis, a significant correlation was found between PDW and logBNP (log-transformed brain natriuretic peptide; r = 0.30, p < 0.001), as well as between MPV and logBNP (r = 0.24, p < 0.001). After treatment for heart failure, a significant reduction was found in PDW (average value before treatment: 14.2; after: 13.2, p = 0.017). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, PDW [hazard ratio (HR) 1.365; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.005-1.768] and MPV (HR 1.472; 95% CI 1.055-2.052) were predictors of HF-related hospitalization. Similarly, PDW (HR 1.998; 95% CI 1.461-2.630) and MPV (HR 1.792; 95% CI 1.155-2.781) were predictors of thrombus formation. Platelet volume indices correlate to severity of heart failure and have prognostic value for both cardiac and thrombotic events in patients with CHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet distribution width (PDW) and PDW-to-platelet ratio (PPR) have been proven to be good prognostic indicators for many diseases. However, their prognostic values in severe burns have not been reported. OBJECTIVE To investigate the early time course of PDW and PPR in severe burn patients and investigate their prognostic values. METHODS This is a 16-year, single-center retrospective study of 590 severe burn patients. The complete blood count parameters on day 1, day 3, and day 7 postburn, including PDW and PPR, were collected. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) analysis, multiple logistic regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were performed to evaluate the prognostic values of PDW and PPR in severe burn patients. RESULTS According to 120-day follow-up records, 96 patients were nonsurvivors and 494 patients were survivors. ROC and area under the curve (AUC) analysis showed that, for predicting 120-day prognosis, the AUC of PDW (0.782) and PPR (0.816) on day 3 was the highest, followed by the AUC of PDW (0.764) and PPR (0.750) on day 7. The ROC-AUC of PPR (0.816) on day 3 was very close to that of the ABSI score (0.818). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the PDW (P = 0.033 and P = 0.009) and PPR (P = 0.052 and P = 0.046) on day 3 and day 7 were all significantly independently positively associated with 120-day mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that high PDW and PPR were both significantly associated with a high 120-day mortality rate on day 3 and day 7. CONCLUSION PDW and PPR on day 3 and day 7 were independent risk factors for 120-day mortality in severe burn patients. These objective and readily available prognostic indicators may be more clinically favored.

Platelet Activation and Inflammation in Patients with Papillary Thyroid Cancer. Diagnostics (Basel) 2021; 11:diagnostics11111959. [PMID: 34829306 PMCID: PMC8624142 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics11111959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2021] [Revised: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: The primary endpoint was to analyze the preoperatory inflammatory markers and platelet indices in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients compared with patients with benign thyroid pathology. The secondary endpoints were to analyze the relationship between these markers and the pathological features of PTC and to compare their pre- and postoperative levels in PTC patients. Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, we analyzed the files of 1183 patients submitted to thyroidectomy between January 2012 and December 2018. A total of 234 patients with PTC (mean age 51.54 ± 13.10 years, 84.6% females) were compared with an age-, gender- and BMI-matched control group of 108 patients with histologic benign thyroid disorders. Results: PTC patients had higher platelet count (PLT) (p = 0.011), plateletcrit (PCT) (p = 0.006), neutrophil (p = 0.022) and fibrinogen (p = 0.005) levels. Subgroup analysis showed that PTC females had higher PLT (p = 0.006), PCT (p < 0.001) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (p = 0.005), while males had higher neutrophil (p = 0.040) levels. Papillary thyroid cancer patients under 55 years had higher PLT (p < 0.001) and PCT (p = 0.010), while patients over 55 years had higher mean platelet volume (p = 0.032), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (p = 0.013), ESR (p = 0.005) and fibrinogen (p = 0.019) levels. Preoperative values for platelet indices and inflammatory markers were similar to the postoperative determinations in PTC patients. Fibrinogen (AUROC = 0.602, p = 0.02; cut-off = 327.5 mg/dL, Se = 53.8%, Sp = 62.9%) and PLT (AUROC = 0.584, p = 0.012; cut-off = 223.5 × 103/mm3, Se = 73.1%, Sp = 42.6%) were independent predictors of the presence of PTC. Conclusions: Our data show that fibrinogen and platelet count could be promising, inexpensive, independent predictors for the presence of PTC when compared with benign thyroid disorders.

Platelet Distribution Width Is Associated with P-Selectin Dependent Platelet Function: Results from the Moli-Family Cohort Study. Cells 2021; 10:cells10102737. [PMID: 34685717 PMCID: PMC8535046 DOI: 10.3390/cells10102737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 10/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Defined as an index of platelet size heterogeneity, the platelet distribution width (PDW) is still a poorly characterized marker of platelet function in (sub)clinical disease. We presently validated PDW as a marker of P-selectin dependent platelet activation in the Moli-family cohort. Platelet-bound P-selectin and platelet/leukocyte mixed aggregates were measured by flow cytometry in freshly collected venous blood, both before and after in vitro platelet activation, and coagulation time was assessed in unstimulated and LPS- or TNFα-stimulated whole blood. Closure Times (CT) were measured in a Platelet Function Analyzer (PFA)-100. Multivariable linear mixed effect regression models (with age, sex and platelet count as fixed and family structure as random effect) revealed PDW to be negatively associated with platelet P-selectin, platelet/leukocyte aggregates and von Willebrand factor (VWF), and positively with PFA-100 CT, and LPS- and TNF-α-stimulated coagulation times. With the exception of VWF, all relationships were sex-independent. In contrast, no association was found between mean platelet volume (MPV) and these variables. PDW seems a simple, useful marker of ex vivo and in vitro P-selectin dependent platelet activation. Investigations of larger cohorts will define the usefulness of PDW as a risk predictor of thrombo-inflammatory conditions where activated platelets play a contributing role.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy is a cornerstone of treatment in advanced gastric cancer (GC) with a proven impact on overall survival, however, reliable predictive markers are missing. The role of various inflammatory markers has been tested in gastric cancer patients, but there is still no general consensus on their true clinical applicability. High neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR) and low (medium)-platelets-volume-to-platelet ratio (PVPR) are known markers of unspecific immune system activation, correlating significantly with outcomes in advanced GC patients. METHODS Metastatic GC patients (N:155) treated with chemotherapy +/- trastuzumab were enrolled in this retrospective study. Pre-treatment NLR and PVPR, as well as other inflammatory markers were measured in peripheral blood. Univariate Cox regression was conducted to find markers with a significant impact on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Spearman correlation and Cohen's kappa was used to analyze multicollinearity. Multiple multivariable Cox regression models were built to study the combined impact of NLR and PVPR, as well as other known prognostic factors on OS. RESULTS Elevated NLR was significantly associated with increased risk of death (HR = 1.95; 95% CI: 1.17-3.24), and lower PVPR was significantly associated with improved outcomes (HR = 0.53; 95% CI: 0.32-0.90). A novel inflammatory marker, based on a combination of NLR and PVPR, allows for the classification of GC patients into three prognostic groups, characterized by median OS of 8.4 months (95% CI 5.8-11.1), 10.5 months (95% CI 8.8-12.1), and 15.9 months (95% CI 13.5-18.3). CONCLUSION The NLR and PVPR score (elevated NLR and decreased PVPR) is a marker of detrimental outcome of advanced GC patients treated with chemotherapy.

Abstract
Background As is well recognized that inflammation plays a crucial role in the genesis and progression of various cancer. Here we investigate the prognostic value of a novel index: the combination of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet distribution width (coNLR-PDW) in post-operation patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was utilized to determine the optimal cutoff values of continuous variables, including the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet distribution width (PDW). Kaplan-Meier method and the Log-rank test were used to compare survival differences across three groups stratified by the coNLR-PDW score. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were adopted to identify independent factors of HCC patient’s prognosis. Results 1.59 and 13.0 were perceived as the optimal cutoff value for NLR and PDW based on the ROC curve, respectively. Kaplan-Meier method revealed that a higher coNLR-PDW score predicts poorer overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) (P < 0.001). coNLR-PDW was demonstrated as an independent factor for both OS and DFS using Cox regression analysis in training and validation cohort. Conclusion coNLR-PDW is recognized as a valuable biomarker for predicting the survival of patients with HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are produced in bone marrow and are the second most numerous blood cells which circulate in blood and play a pivotal role in hemostasis, wound healing, angiogenesis. There is a large body of evidence that platelets are likely to contribute to inflammation in multiple diseases. Also, recent studies revealed the association between platelet indices (PI) and inflammation. METHODS PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases were searched and only papers published in the last 10 years were consequently analyzed. RESULTS The most frequently evaluated parameters are mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet diversity index (PDW), plateletcrit (PCT) and the presence of larger platelets (P-LCRs platelet larger cell ratio). The values of platelet indices (PI) were elevated in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, cancers or acute surgical conditions, such as appendicitis. The measurement of PIs does not generate additional costs and can be performed during routine cell blood count, not requiring additional blood samples. CONCLUSIONS Platelet indices may have prognostic and predictive value in numerous conditions.

Can preoperative inflammatory markers differentiate endometrial cancer from complex atypical hyperplasia/endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia? J Obstet Gynaecol Res 2020; 46:1148-1156. [PMID: 32464701 DOI: 10.1111/jog.14314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2020] [Revised: 04/28/2020] [Accepted: 05/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to identify the differences between complex atypical hyperplasia/endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (CAH/EIN) and endometrioid-type grade 1 endometrial cancer in terms of preoperative systemic inflammatory markers and to evaluate the effectiveness of such markers in predicting cancer. METHODS Between January 2005 and September 2018, a total of 372 patients with final histopathologic diagnoses of CAH/EIN (n = 143) and endometrioid-type grade 1 endometrial cancer (n = 229) were included in the study. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and platelet distribution width (PDW) were used as preoperative inflammatory markers. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis was used to assess the diagnostic prediction of NLR, PLR and PDW values to distinguish the two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed by regrouping the patients according to the cut-off values found in the ROC analysis. RESULTS The univariate analysis revealed that advanced age, decreases in PDW and also PLR could be predictors of cancer. The cut-off values were as ≤48.9% for PDW and ≤133.3 for PLR. The values defined using ROC analysis were found to be statistically significant for PDW and PLR in identifying endometrioid grade 1 endometrial cancer. For PDW, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 52.8%, 62.2%, 68.9% and 45.5%, respectively (P = 0.001); for PLR, those were 55.9%, 59.4%, 68.8% and 45.7%, respectively (P = 0.005). In multivariate analysis, advanced age (>53 years), low PDW (≤48.9%) and low PLR (≤133.3) were related to statistically significant odds ratio for diagnostic prediction to differentiate endometrioid grade 1 cases from CAH/EIN of 8.01 (P < 0.001), 1.79 (P = 0.019) and 1.73 (P = 0.025), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The PLR and PDW values in the preoperative blood parameters could be used to differentiate endometrial cancer from precancerous lesions.
