Platelet count as a prognostic marker for acute respiratory distress syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to evaluate the role of platelet count (PLT) in the prognosis of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Methods

The data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care database (version 2.2). Patients diagnosed with ARDS according to criteria from Berlin Definition and had the platelet count (PLT) measured within the first day after intensive care unit admission were analyzed. Based on PLT, ARDS patients were divided into four groups: PLT ≤ 100 × 10⁹/L, PLT 101-200 × 10⁹/L, PLT 201-300 × 10⁹/L, and PLT > 300 × 10⁹/L. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. Survival probabilities were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier. Furthermore, the association between PLT and mortal
