Mean Platelet Volume Reflect Hematopoietic Potency and Correlated Blood Group O in Cord Blood from Healthy Newborn. (27th March 2013) - Lee, Hye Ryun
Abstract : We evaluated the relationship between mean platelet volume (MPV) and characteristics of 10, 577 cord blood (CB) units in a public CB bank in Korea. Blood group O has the highest MPV (P = 0.002). MPV correlated with CB volume (r = 0.121 ), Hb (r = 0.377 ), WBC (r = 0.111 ), TNCs (r = 0.110 ), CD34+ cell (r = 0.174 ), CD34+ cells/TNCs (r = 0.157 ), gestational age (r = −0.102), and birth weight (r = 0.023 ); (P < 0.001 in all). MPV may be one of the useful decision parameters of process priority in CB bank.
