Platelet Indices and Ferrtitin Levels in Children Entering First Year of School Life and their Correlation with One Another.
Pak Paed J Jan ;44(4):371-3.

The objective of this study was to ascertain the correlation of platelet indices i.e. platelet count (PC), MPV (mean platelet volume), PDW (platelet distribution width) and platelet crit (Pct) with one another and with ferritin levels. The study was conducted among children starting school life. Total of 299 children were selected by computer randomization. Out of these, 55.5% were female and 44.5% were male. The Spearman test showed that the correlation between PDW and MPV, and PC and Pct was very strong. Moderate negative correlation was present between platelet counts and MPV and PDW.
