Objectives: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of mean platelet volume-to-lymphocyte ratio (MPVLR) on symptom onset in
patients with moderate carotid artery stenosis (CAS).
Patients and methods: Between January 2016 and January 2018, a total of 294 patients (178 males, 116 females, mean age 57.9±9.1 years;
range, 44 to 81 years) diagnosed with moderate CAS were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according
to their symptomatology as Group 1 (n=238) including asymptomatic patients and Group 2 (n=56) including symptomatic patients. The
diagnosis of CAS was made using carotid angiography. The degree of stenosis was determined. The MPVLR was evaluated.
Results: The mean age was 53.6±8.5 years in Group 1 and 64.9±9.7 years in Group 2 (p
