Abstract :Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the mean MPV/PLT ratio, NLR and troponin I levels in geriatric patients admitted to hospital with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) and to evaluate the prognostic value of these parameters. In this way, a better clinical decision can be provided in the evaluation and treatment processes of AIS patients. Methods: Using a retrospective design, the data of geriatric patients admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of AIS were analyzed. Demographic characteristics, clinical findings, laboratory results and radiological findings were obtained from electronic medical records. Platelet volume, platelet count, neutrophil count, leukocyte count and troponin I levels were recorded as primary data and other demographic, clinical and laboratory parameters were recorded as secondary data. Results: MPV/PLT ratio was significantly higher in AIS patients (0.04±0.02) compared to non-ischemic stroke patients (0.03±0.02) (p<0.001). Similarly, NLR (5.29±5.09) was significantly higher in AIS patients compared to the other group (1.93±0.87) (p<0.001). In addition, Troponin I level was significantly higher in AIS patients (10.48±7.88 ng/mL) than the other group (2.18±1.11 ng/mL) (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study demonstrates the predictive value of mean MPV/PLT ratio, NLR, and troponin I levels in geriatric patients admitted to hospital with AIS. Using these parameters in clinical evaluations may be helpful in the follow-up of AIS patients and in determining treatment strategies.
