Reticulated Platelets as Predictor of Myocardial Injury and 30 Day Mortality After Non-cardiac Surgery.
A pre-operative marker for identification of patients at risk of peri-operative adverse events and 30 day mortality might be the percentage of young, reticulated platelets (pRP). This study aimed to determine the predictive value of pre-operative pRP on post-operative myocardial injury (PMI) and 30 day mortality, in patients aged ≥ 60 years undergoing moderate to high risk non-cardiac surgery. ⋯ In patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery, increased pre-operative pRP is related to 30 day mortality and PMI.
