Material and Method: In the present study, 284 patients who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit were retrospectively analyzed. MPV and PDW values of the patients when they first hospitalized, their last MPV and PDW values before they died or were discharged, their ages and duration of ICU period were recorded. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the first and last values of MPV and PDW in the surviving patient group. Similarly, PDW values did not change in the group of patients who died (p> 0.05). However, the last MPV values were significantly higher in the deceased patient group than the first MPV values (p <0.05). In this study, when the age, length of stay in the intensive care unit, MPV and PDW values were compared, the most important factor was found to be an increase in MPV. Conclusion: This study showed that MPV increase in intensive care patients may be closely related to mortality.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessYoğun BakımTıpArticle31515510.32322/jhsm.643639485520
