Background: The aim of this study is to identify the inflammatory markers which predict a tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) in the most accurate way. Methods: This study involves 312 women. Preoperative inflammatory markers in the study group were compared with those in the healthy control group to identify the most efficient predictor of TOA with a high sensitivity and specificity. The recommended cutoff values of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), white blood cell count, and red cell distribution width were determined using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses. Results: The area under the curve (AUC = 0.99) in the ROC analysis was found to be statistically significant for NLR (p < 0.001) with a cutoff value of ≥4.15 (95% CI 0.97-1.00, sensitivity 95.2%, specificity 99.4%). The positive predictive value of NLR was 99.2%, and the negative predictive value was 96.7% (p < 0.001). The recommended threshold for PLR was found to be 164.37 (AUC = 0.95, 95% CI 0.93-0.98, sensitivity 86.7%, specificity 92%), and the cutoff point of the white blood cell count in the ROC analysis was 9.55 × 10³/μl (AUC = 0.90, 95% CI 0.87-0.95, sensitivity 78.68%, specificity 96.68%). Conclusion: Preoperative NLR and PLR improve the predictive value of serum markers for the presence of TOA.

“…Recent studies have demonstrated that pregnant women with HG have higher inflammatory markers when compared to healthy pregnant women without HG in the first trimester. Measuring white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is an inexpensive and convenient way to identify systemic inflammation in the body (12)(13)(14)(15). Studies have shown that NLR, PLR, and RDW values are highly associated with the prognosis of diseases related to inflammation (16)(17)(18)(19).…”

BACKGROUNDTo evaluate the serum inflammatory markers in the first trimester in which hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) usually occurs and in the late second trimester when symptoms of HG usually resolve. MATERIALS and METHODSThe study population consisted of 170 pregnant women with HG and 185 healthy gestational-age-matched controls. White blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) were compared during the first and the late second trimester. RESULTS In INTRODUCTIONNausea and vomiting are the most common complaints of pregnant women in the first trimester, affecting 70%-80% of all pregnancies (1). These mild symptoms are usually described as morning sickness (2) because nausea and vomiting typically occur in the morning and resolve during the day time. Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (3) that leads to weight loss, dehydration, electrolyte and acid-base imbalances, ketonuria, and nutritional deficiency (4). It affects 0.8%-3.2% of pregnant women (5, 6).

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Patients With Slow Coronary Flow and Its Association With Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio

Abstract: The NL ratio is significantly associated with reduced coronary blood flow, and elevated N/L ratio might be an independent predictor for the presence of SCF.
