Introduction. @entity697 ( @entity697 ) is a common medical condition; however, the grade of @entity698 usually cannot be established preoperatively. We have attempted to identify some indicators, such as the mean platelet volume ( @entity6688 ) and the platelet distribution width (PDW), to diagnose @entity697 . Aims. To evaluate whether or not the @entity6688 and PDW are suitable markers to diagnose @entity697 . Methods. A retrospective study of 160 @entity1 with @entity697 and 160 healthy @entity1 was undertaken. Disease diagnosis was confirmed based on the pathologic examination of surgical specimens. @entity1 white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil ratio (NR), platelet (PLT) count, @entity6688 , PDW, and hematocrit (HCT) were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of these indices in @entity697 . Results. There were no significant differences between the @entity697 and control groups in age and gender. Compared to the control group, the WBC count, NR, and PDW were significantly higher (P < 0.001, resp.) and the @entity6688 and HCT were significantly lower (P < 0.001, resp.) in the @entity697 group. The diagnostic specificities of the WBC count, NR, PLT count, @entity6688 , PDW, and HCT were 86.3%, 92.5%, 58.1%, 81.7%, 83.9%, and 66.3%, respectively. Therefore, the NR had the highest diagnostic specificity for the diagnosis of @entity697 . Conclusions. This is the first study to assess the @entity6688 and PDW in @entity1 with @entity697 . Our present study showed that the @entity6688 is reduced and the PDW is increased in @entity1 with @entity697 ; the sensitivity of PDW was superior to the @entity6688 . A decreased @entity6688 value and an increased PDW could serve as two markers to diagnose @entity697 . The NR had the highest specificity for the diagnosis of @entity697 .
