Abstract
Key summary pointsAimTo investigate whether the cognitive or functional status is related to basic platelet indices in hospitalized older adults.Findings After adjustment for multiple confounders, the Mini-Mental State Examination Scale, the seven-point Clock Drawing Test, the Katz ADL scale, the Lawton IADL scale and VES-13 are, except one weak association, not directly related to basic platelet indices measured in the routine complete blood count.MessageThe basic platelet indices measured in the routine complete blood count are not consistently associated with the cognitive and functional status evaluated by screening tests. The lack of translation of these associations in clinical use could be due to the multifaceted effect of diseases other than dementia.
