dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive value of the MAPH score in patients with, a novel score that includes blood viscosity biomarkers such as hematocrit, mean platelet volume (MPV), age, and total protein, on the extent of vegetation in infective endocarditis. This study was retrospective. Fifty-four patients older than 18 years who were diagnosed with infective endocarditis (IE) between June 2017 and June 2023 were inclu ded. The study included patients from three different tertiary healthcare centers. Hematocrit, C-reactive Protein (CRP), MPV, total protein, serum albumin, kidney and liver function tests were analyzed on the first day of hospitalization. The Youden Inde x was used to determine the cut points for predicting age and MPV, hematocrit and total protein values for vegetation size. The MAPH score has been calculated as a total of 0 or 1 point with the cutoff in each ratio, and values above the cut-off were considered 1 point. Thirty-eight patients were found to have large vegetations (>10 mm). The mean age of the patients was 54.78 ± 17.32 years. The other clinical characteristics and demographic data were similar to each other. total protein level, MPV, and MAPH score were significantly higher in the vegetation size >10 mm group than in the vegetation size ≤ 10 mm group when analyzing the clinical laboratory characteristics of the study. The results of our study were that the MAPH score can be used as an estima te of the extent of vegetation cover. © 2024, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi. All rights reserved.en_US
