Platelets parameters in ITP, Non-ITP patients and normal individuals.

	Platelets 103/ul	MPV*ƒL	IPF>%
ITP	61.10±52.58	10.84±1.94	16.39±11.15
Non-ITP	54.62±39.64	10.65±1.5	7.69±6.09
Range of normal	164-237.08	9.6-11.12	1.1-17.8
p	0.08	<0.0001	<0.0001

p-value was determined by Chi square test; values ≤0.05 were considered as significant

^*Mean of available MPV values. No MPV value was calculated in 38 ITP (75.80%) and 110 (65.08%) non ITP cases due to instrumental limitation.
