Assessment of Blood Inflamatory Parameters in Elderly Patients With Peripheral Vertigo

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between infection-induced PV and inflammatory parameters levels, WBC, NLR, PLR and CRP in elderly patients. Material and Method: In our study, 122 patients with peripheral vertigo complaints were retrospectively evaluated. Their gender, age, the type of admission, emergency room discharge and hospitalization, hospital admission time, complaints, and physical examination findings rates were examined. Results: The mean age was 73.4 years.. 115 patients (94.3%) were discharged after follow-up in the emergency department, while 7 patients (5.7%) were hospitalized. Complaints were 75.4% dizziness, 18% nausea-vomiting and 6.4% headache, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in PLT, NEU, LYM, NEU / LYM and PLT / LYM values. Conclusion: In our study, WBC and CRP were significantly higher in patients. The results of our study showed that it can be used actively in the diagnosis of inflammatory causes in the pathogenesis of elderly patients with peripheral vertigo.
