The Association Between Platelet Mass Index and Mechanical Ventilation in Pediatric Surgery Cases

Platelet mass index (PMI) is an indicator of platelet functionality. This study aimed to examine the relationship between PMI and mechanical ventilation need in infants less than 1 year age who underwent gastrointestinal system surgery. We retrospectively reviewed medical records cases that surgery last 10 years (2010-2020) at Baskent University Konya Hospital. Demographic data, indications for surgery, preoperative blood tests, hospitalization times, discharge status, duration, sepsis, accompanying anomalies, recurrent requirements were collected from patient records. The group (n: 143) was divided into 2 groups as (MV; n: 73) did not (n-MV; 70). Data analyzed with SPSS version 25. significantly lower MV (1999 Vs 2798, p< .001). 65% newborns. Mean gestational 34.5 ±4 weeks, birth weight 2100 ± 820 g. Most surgical intervention consist small bowel atresia, esophageal surgeries due necrotizing enterocolitis, anal atresia. Ileus present 54% patients. requirement 34%. frequency cardiac anomalies 30.6%, rate proven sepsis 38.3%. Preoperative 2163 value can discriminate needing 72% sensitivity 69% specificity (AUC: .699, p<.001). When basic characteristics evaluated, 83% patients newborn group. weight, age, hospital oxygen exposure, culture-positive rates, total parenteral nutrition (TPN) duration found be higher MV. While there no difference number white cells analysis, neutrophil-lymphocyte (N-L) ratio, number, albumin values CRP There –lymphocyte (PL) ratio. High used a parameter
