Özet
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the mean platelet volume (MPV)
of patients with retinal artery occlusion (RAO).
Methods: Thirty-seven patients diagnosed with RAO and 32 control subjects were
included in this retrospective study. Retinal artery occlusion was diagnosed on the
basis of clinical examination and fundus fluorescein angiography. All participants
underwent complete ocular examination, and MPV, hematocrit, hemoglobin, and
platelet counts were recorded. RAO patient data were compared with those of
the control subjects.
Results: Patients with RAO had significantly higher MPV values (7.96 ± 1.2 fL)
compared with control subjects (7.33 ± 0.7 fL, p<0.001). No significant difference
was found with regard to platelet count between the RAO group and the control
group (262 ± 70.1 × 109
/L and 251 ± 56.6 × 109
/L, respectively, p=0.50). MPV was
an independent predictor of RAO [odds ratio (OR)=0.50; 95% confidence interval
(CI)=0.28-0.89; p=0.019).
Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that MPV values were significantly higher
in patients with RAO, suggesting that larger platelets may contribute to the pathogenesis of the RAOs.
