Mean platelet volume (MPV) is considered a marker of platelet function and is known to increase in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). We aimed to investigate the predictive value of MPV for predicting the clinical course of ITP in children. We retrospectively analyzed children aged 18 years with ITP (n = 36) and healthy controls (n = 36) from June 2010 to November 2018. The subjects were stratified into (i) Healthy controls [group I, n = 36]; (ii) Newly diagnosed ITP (nITP) and persistent ITP (pITP) [group II, n = 24]; and (iii) Chronic ITP (cITP) [group I
