fL, femtoliter; MPV, mean platelet volume; PCT, plateletcrit; PDW, platelet distribution width

  No need for a mechanical ventilator (n = 101) Need for a mechanical ventilator (n = 76) Total p-value Mann-Whitney test
MPV (fL) mean ± SD 11.37 ± 1.66 11.51 ± 1.82 11.43 ± 1.72 0.501 3,612
PDW (%) mean ± SD 21.01 ± 4.28 22.02 ± 4.56 21.45 ± 4.42 0.114 3,306.5
PCT (%) mean ± SD 0.59 ± 0.54 0.39 ± 0.47 0.5 ± 0.52 0.012 2,998
