Platelet Selectin Levels in Patients with Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis: Preliminary Findings

Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) is a cerebrovascular disease with an estimated annual incidence of 3-4 cases per 1 million population with an 8% mortality rate caused by hypercoagulable conditions and hyper aggregation and also Platelet Selectin (P-Selectin) as one of coagulation biomarker for both of them. This study aimed to describe the levels of P-selectin in CVST patients at RSHS Bandung. This study aimed to describe the levels of P-selectin in CVST patients at RSHS Bandung. This is a descriptive observational study on patients ≥18 years old diagnosed with CVST at the Neurology outpatient polyclinic of RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung for March-May 2022. All samples that meet the inclusion criteria will be included as research subjects.

P-selectin levels were found to increase in the group of subjects with subacute onset (mean 5.20 ± 2.977), infectious etiology (mean 5.26 ± 3.561), duration of treatment
