Comparison of trends in the platelet indices between survivors and non-survivors during the first 72 hours after emergency department admission.

Abstract

(A) The rate of mean platelet volume increase over the first 72 hours in non-survivors was significantly different from that observed in survivors (P = 0.003). (B) The rate of platelet count decline over the first 72 hours was comparable between the 2 groups (P = 0.360).</p
