Özet

Principles: Intensive Care Unit Acquired Pneumonia is the most frequent infection among patients receiving mechanical ventilation and has an important impact on patient mortality. Thrombocytopenia is one of the most common laboratory abnormalities in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between platelet count and Intensive Care Unit Acquired Pneumonia (ICUAP).
