In our study, preterm newborns with Mean Platelet Volume levels and term newborns with MPV levels are compared. Material and Method: The results of hemogram of a total of 138 newborns (80 preterm and 58 term), which were born in Hospital and have no problem with any other metabolic hematological were evaluated retrospectively. MPV values were compared by statistical analysis. Results: When the MPV values of Term newborns and preterm newborns were compared, The difference was highly statistically significant. Discussion: While the MPV of the sick preterm newborns were assessed, it should not be forgotten that the MPV level of healthy premature babies were higher the MPV level of term newborns. This difference is probably due to the increase in the production of young platelets.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMPVPretermNewbornArticle4425926110.4328/JCAM.10472-s2.0-84868014743N/AWOS:000215548400005N/A
