Correlation Between Platelet Indices and Severity of Sepsis: A Hospital-Based Prospective Study
The study concludes that PDW and PCT on days 3 and 7 are strong predictive markers of sepsis severity, while P-LCR on day 7 is effective in predicting sepsis outcomes. Overall, platelet indices offer valuable prognostic insight for assessing sepsis severity and outcomes, especially in resource-limited hospital settings.
