Abstract
Background/Aim: In our study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of mean platelet volume/platelet count ratio on the development of peripheral artery disease (PAD) by comparing it with the control group. Material and Methods: A total of 115 patients with peripheral artery disease as a result of lower extremity color Doppler ultrasonography examination in our hospital were included in the study as the patient group and 100 individuals without peripheral artery disease as the control group. Results: History of coronary artery disease (p<0.001), diabetes mellitus (p=0.009), hypertension (p<0.001) and smoking history (p<0.001) were significantly higher in the PAD group than in the control group. Serum glucose (121.27±25.66 vs. 104.81±34.77; p<0.001), MPV levels (9.99±0.79 vs. 9.04±0.7; p<0.001) and MPV/PLT ratio (0.041±0.07 vs. 0.037±0.006, p< 0.001) were found to be significantly higher in the PAD group than in the control group. Serum HDL levels (45.03±11.5 vs. 48.67±12.52 p=0.026) were significantly lower in the PAD group than in the control group. In multivariate analysis, age, MPV and MPV/PLT ratio were determined as independent predictors for peripheral arterial disease. Conclusion: In our study, we found that MPV and MPV/PLT ratio were independent predictors of peripheral artery disease.
