We aimed to analyze the diagnostic value of mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width, which are also known as the markers of platelet count, in acute and @entity698 . The data of 202 @entity1 who applied to general surgery clinic in Mustafa Kemal University Hospital from 2007 to 2012 with @entity697 were analyzed retrospectively. The findings were separated to two groups due to the perforation status (perforated vs. non-perforated). Age, sex, leukocyte, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean platelet volume, and platelet distribution width were examined. The mean age of the @entity1 was 35.8. Twenty-one of all cases were @entity698 (10.4  %), and the rest was @entity697 (non-perforated) (n   =   181, 89.6  %). The mean platelet volume value was 9.8        2.1  fL; mean thrombocyte count, 340.9   *   10(9)/L; and mean platelet distribution width value, 18.3  %. There were statistically significant differences between sex and age, hemoglobin, hematocrit, leukocyte, mean platelet volume, and platelet distribution width. There was a positive correlation between mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width, and platelet. Age, leukocyte, platelet, mean platelet volume, and platelet distribution width were higher in cases with perforation as a comparison with non-perforated cases. We think that mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width may be valuable markers to detect the risk of perforation in early periods of @entity697 .
