Objective To explore the relationship between platelet and prognosis of the total correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Methods We included 11 dead patients with TOF at age of 0-6 years as a death group between 2011 and 2014 year. There were 7 male and 4 female patients at age of 18.6±16.4 months in the death group. We selected 11 matched survival patients according to age, gender of the patients as a survival group. There were also 7 male and 4 female patients at age of 19.4±16.7 months in the death group. The patients were divided into a high-platelet group and a low-platelet group. There were 6 male and 5 female patients in the high-platelet group. While there were 8 male and 3 female patients in the low-platelet group. Inflammatory cytokine and mortality were compared between the two groups. Results Post-operative count of platelet in the death group was significantly lower than that in the live group, while post-operative interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C reactive protein (CRP) were much higher than those in the death group (P<0.05). Mortality was higher in the low-platelet group than that in the high-platelet group (P<0.05). Conclusion Platelets may alleviate inflammatory response and reduce mortality, which played a great role of protection.
