A novel predictive marker for the viscosity of otitis media with effusion

Neutrophil‐lymphocyte and platelet‐lymphocyte ratios in otitis media with effusion in children: Diagnostic role and audiologic correlations

“…Another study consisting of 81 patients revealed that NLR and PLR values increased significantly in the serous group than the mucoid and control groups. In the same study, there was no significant difference in the NLR value between the mucoid and control groups, but a decreased PLR value was seen in the mucoid group compared with the control group 28 . Similarly, we found that there was a significant increase in NLR and PLR values in serous OME, but there was no significant difference between the mucoid and control groups.…”

“…A study conducted on 81 OME patients reported that lymphocyte value increased significantly in mucoid OME compared with serous OME, but there were no significant differences between the serous‐control and mucoid‐control groups. Neutrophil value increased significantly in both mucoid OME and serous OME, and platelets increased significantly in serous OME compared with mucoid OME 28 . In our study, while the relationship in the lymphocyte value between the serous and mucoid groups was similar, we found it lower in the serous group, and higher in the mucoid group compared with the control.…”

“…PLR has been evaluated in patients with several diseases including chronic inflamatory diseases, malignancies, myeloproliferative disorders, cardiovasculer diseases and infectious diseases [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] .…”

“…Furthermore, elevated PLR levels have been shown in patients with several diseases such as cancer (e.g., prostate, colorectal, cervical, ovarian, malignant pleural mesothelioma and surgically resected gastrointestinal stromal tumors), peripheral artery disease, hypertension, coronary artery disease, limb ischemia, poor prognostic myocardial infraction, infective endocarditis, exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), psoriasis vulgaris, Behçet's syndrome, pseudoexfoliation syndrome [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] . On the contrary, reduced PLR levels have been reported in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) 6 .…”

“…In a different study to evaluate the significance of PLR for the prediction of the viscosity of otitis media with effusion due to prevent unnecessary surgeries and additional costs, it has been suggested that if the PLR value was less than 97.96, the effusion was mucoid 13 . However, whereas PLR levels have been showed to be significantly higher in exacerbation of COPD than stable COPD, NLR values were found to be more sensitive 3 .…”
