Association of Mean Platelet Volume with Acute Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accident Among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Hospital-Based Study.

Conclusion: Acute ischemic stroke in diabetic patients is significantly associated with raised MPV level, which is likely to be severe with high morbidity and mortality. Hence, MPV is an easily available blood parameter, which defines platelet reactivity and proves to be a good predictor of severity and outcome of stroke in diabetics. Also, higher percentile of patients showed history of recurrent stroke in diabetics as compared to non-diabetics in whom the MPV was considerably raised compared to other diabetic stroke cases.
