The objective of this study was to evaluate the association among PES, PEX glaucoma (PEG), and mean platelet volume (MPV). Methods: Forty patients with PES (mean age 62.6 +/- 7.8 years), 31 with PEG (mean age 65.9 +/- 6.6 years), and 37 healthy individuals (control group) (mean age 64.0 +/- 7.1 years) were included in the study. The MPV of the 3 groups were compared. Results: Age and sex distribution were similar among groups (p>0.05). Mean MPV in PES, PEG, and control groups were 9.59 +/- 0.94 fl, 9.53 +/- 0.80 fl, and 7.7 +/- 0.67 fl, respectively. In the PEX group, MPV values were significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.05). However, there was no difference between the PES and PEG groups (p>0.05). Conclusions: The MPV values in both groups with PEX were higher than those in the healthy group.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGlaucomaMean Platelet VolumePseudoexfoliation SyndromeMean platelet volume in pseudoexfoliation syndrome and glaucomaArticle2417175WOS:0003328302000112-s2.0-848874312882381310710.5301/ejo.5000340Q2Q4
