Abstract：Objective To study the relation between mean platelet volume ( MPV) and the severity condition in cardiac cerebral embolism patients when admitted to hospital , and to investigate the clinical value of MPV in these patients .Methods 91 patients were divided into the NIHSS >15 group and NIHSS≤15 group.The statistical differences of basic clinical data , MPV and other chemical examination results (such as WBC, RDW, PLT, et al) between the two groups were compared .Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independence risk factor , and the statistical differences of MPV between the subgroups were compared according to OCSP classification .Results MPV was significantly higher in the NIHSS >15 group than that in NIHSS≤15 group (P<0.05).The Logistic regression analysis showed that MPV was the independent risk factor to the NIHSS >15 group.MPV was significantly increased in the TACI group than LACI group ( P <0 .05 ) .Conclusion MPV is an independent risk factor to assess the severity condition in cardiac cerebral embolism patients in the early stage , and we suppose that higher MPV may lead to cardiac thrombosis related to cerebral embolism .
