Güvenc et al 45 agreed, in their study (Comparison of mean platelet volume values among different causes of pulmonary hypertension) that MPV values in the PH group were increased compared to healthy controls, but, in his study, sub-group analysis revealed that MPV levels in the COPD group were higher compared to normal controls; this finding did not reach statistical significance.
