title: [Analysis the relationship of mean platelet volume and obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Uur aim was to investigate the association between OSAHS and mean platelet volume (MPV) value.
  
  
  METHODS
  This study included 70 cases with OSAHS in our ward between Jan. 2012 and Jan. 2014, and the OSAHS patients were divided two groups: mild- to moderate group and severe group; 30 age-and sex-matched healthy subjects was in control group. The correlation among the levels of the number of platelets (PLT), MPV, platelet distribution width (PDW) were evaluated in the two groups.
  
  
  RESULTS
  PLT count was significantly lower in the severe group than the control group [(202. 8 ± 68. 9] × 10(9)/L, (235. 9 ± 65. 2) × 10(9)/L]; MPV and PDW were significantly higher in the severe group [(10. 9 ± 0. 9), (10. 4±0. 8) fL; (12. 9 ± 1. 9) %, (12. 0 ± 1. 4) %]. There was not significantly difference of MPV between the mild to moderate group and the control group [(10. 7 ± 0. 7), (10. 4 ± 0. 8)fL].
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  MPV levels are elevated in patients with the severe OSAHS.
