The objective : to study the prognostic significance of ratio absolute number neutrophils lymphocytes (NLR) and platelets (PLR) in assessing risk cardiovascular complications non-cardiac surgical interventions. Subjects Methods . 85 patients aged 66 [61‒70] years who underwent elective vascular surgery were examined. Results Concomitant circulatory diseases diagnosed 98.8%. PLR < 91.2 with s...

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare PMI, PLT/MPV, and other hemogram parameters between COVID-19 patients a control group determine the that are significant in discrimination non-COVID 19. Methods: Data total 80 who presented emergency department our hospital with symptoms suggesting PCR (+) result healthy controls (-) test results were retrospectively analyzed. Patients’ labo...

Objective: To assess the prognostic value of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte (LMR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma (LACSC) treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) regimens. Methods: The contribution immune inflammatory response markers (NLR, PLR, LMR, SII), cell...

BACKGROUND The ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes (NLR) is a widely available marker of inflammation. Several types of inflammatory cells and mediators have been found to be involved in the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We sought to evaluate the association of the NLR with severity of airflow limitation and disease exacerbations in a COPD population. METHODS We...

BACKGROUND Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) reflects the balance between pro- and anti-tumor immune activities. We evaluated whether NLR is associated with pathologic tumor response and prognosis in rectal cancer patients that underwent preoperative chemoradiaton therapy (CRT) with surgery. METHODS One hundred two patients with rectal cancer that were treated by preoperative CRT followed by ...

Dear Editor, the recent report on “Neutrophil-toLymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) and Heart Failure” is very interesting.1 Durmus et al.1 reported that “NLR can be used to predict mortality during the follow-up of HF patients.” Indeed, the use of a new parameter for predicting heart failure is very interesting. However, as Durmus et al.1 mentioned, both NLR and PLR “wer...

PURPOSE Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) bears a poor prognosis. We investigated the prognostic significance of some hematologic parameters of patients with mRCC. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 53 patients with mRCC . The mean follow up time was 34 months (range 5-142).We assessed the prognostic value of hematologic parameters (leukocytes ,neutrophils, lymphocytes, p...

AIM To assess the diagnostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in lung cancer (LC). We compared the ratios between healthy participants and all LC patients, as well patients with different pathohistological LC subtypes. METHODS We retrieved the data on neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet levels in 449 patients with different pathohistologica...

BACKGROUND Long-term survival is a problem with locally advanced and metastatic renal cell carcinomas. Sunitinib malate is an oral multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, but data on sunitinib use as a second line treatment in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) are limited. Prognostic and predictive value of peripheral blood markers has been shown for many cancers. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte (MLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), and systemic immune-inflammatory index (SIRI, neutrophils × monocytes/lymphocytes) have been described as potential blood-derived inflammatory biomarkers in several diseases. Rheumatoid arthritis is an disease that has related to increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease. In the present wor...
