Pulmoner Emboli Hastalarında Nötrofil/Lenfosit Oranı ve Trombosit/Lenfosit Oranı

Abstract

The aim of our study was to investigate clinical and prognostic importance of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and plateled to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods: 50 patients with a diagnosis of acute PEincluded into the studybetween January2016 and December 2017. NLR level was measured by dividing neutrophil count to lymphocyte count. PLR level was measured by dividing plateled count to lymphocyte count. Pre-treatment and post-treatment groups of NLR and PLR values were compared. Results: All patients with diagnosis of acute PE had received anticoagulation therapy. The basal patient characteristics for WBC, neutrophil, platelet and d-dimer were significantly higher in prethan post-treatment groups (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups with respect to age, gender, RDW, lymphocyte and haemoglobin (p>0.05).It has been NLR and PLR ratio have a significantly higher value in admission and patients with pre-treatment groups were found statistically significant variable to predict the treatment effects(p<0.0001). Also, correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between NLR and PLR (p=0.0001). Discussion and Conclusion: NLR and PLR values may be a useful biomarker for risk stratification and also prognosis for PE.
