STUDY OF ASSOCIATION OF PLATELET INDICES WITH ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS - A HOSPITAL BASED STUDY

Dr. Shubham Sharma, Dr. Somya Goyal

Abstract :

INTRODUCTION– High MPV acts as a risk factor for vascular complications of Diabetes Mellitus. Increased MPV in diabetic patients might have a role in genesis or worsening of acute ischemic stroke. OBJECTIVE– ● To study the Association between platelet indices and acute ischemic stroke ● To study the Association between platelet indices and severity of acute ischemic stroke in Diabetes patients ● To study Association between platelet indices and outcome of acute ischemic stroke in Diabetes patients. METHODS – ● prospective observational study ● Inclusion– all patients with acute ischemic stroke ● NIHSS assesed at admission ● Platelet indices ● MRS score assesed on 7th day ● Exclusion– haemorrhage in CT scan , patients<18 years of age. ● Sample size =100 RESULTS– ● Diabetic patients with ischemic stroke had higher PDW , MPV & PCT ● No significant association was found between platelet indices and severity of stroke ● Higher value of MPV, PDW & PCT were associated with poor outcome.
