Popis: Objective: Platelets play an important role in cases of inflammation and infection, along with in the hemostatic process. The aim of study is to evaluate prognostic efficiency of platelet count (PC), mean platelet volume (MPV) and MPV/PC for mortality prediction in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Methods: A total of 150 VAP patients were divided into two groups as Survivors (n=98) and Non-survivors (n=52) according to intensive care unit mortality. The PC and MPV on days 1 and 4 of VAP were evaluated. Results: Thirty (31%) patients in the survivors group and 35 (67%) patients in the non-survivor group had thrombocytopenia, respectively (p
