“…Imtiaz et al (25) showed that NLR was significantly higher in subjects with DM and hypertension compared to the normal population. It has been reported that NLR can be affected in subjects with systemic diseases other than DM or hypertension, like pulmonary hypertension or obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and psoriasis (26)(27)(28). One drawback of our study is that we could not evaluate the existence of other systemic diseases as our study was retrospective.…”

Background: Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is the most common acute optic neuropathy in patients over the age of 50 and is the second most common cause of permanent optic nerverelated visual loss in adults after glaucoma. Although the precise cause of NAION remains elusive, the etiology of NAION is believed to be multifactorial. Aims: To evaluate the utility of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a simple and readily available prognostic factor for clinical disease activity in patients with NAION. Study Design: Case-control study. Methods: Forty-five patients with the diagnosis of NAION and 50 age-and sex-matched controls with/ without any systemic or ocular diseases except cataract were retrospectively enrolled in the study. Demographic characteristics and laboratory findings including complete blood count of all patients and control subjects were obtained from the electronic medical record.The neutrophil and lymphocyte counts were recorded and the NLR was calculated. Results: White blood cell, neutrophil, NLR and platelet values of the NAION patients were significantly higher than those of the controls (p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.004, p=0.037, respectively). Initial NLR values were negatively correlated with initial and the third month best corrected visual acuity levels in the study group. The optimum NLR cut-off point for NAION was 1.94. Conclusion: NLR could be considered as a new inflammatory marker for assessment of the severity of inflammation in NAION patients with its quick, cheap, easily measurable property with routine complete blood count analysis.

“…Again, numerous studies suggested that NLR is an important criterion in making diagnostic and prognostic decisions in psoriasis, infective endocarditis, pneumonia, bacteremia and acute appendicitis. [13][14][15][16][17] In our study, we found that lymphocyte was higher in the patient group than the control group, and as a result, NLR was significant. This result supports the cause of chronic inflammation which plays an etiologic role in children with LAP.…”

Lymphadenopathies constitute most of the neck masses of the children. Lymph nodes are arranged along the lymphatic canal. They are rich in lymphocytes and antigenpresenting cells and surrounded by a fibrous capsule. Lymph node enlargement in local and systemic infectious cases is seen as lymphadenomegaly or lymphadenopathy Yöntem: Muayene s›ras›nda saptanan herhangi bir neden olmaks›z›n boyunda fliflme flikayetiyle 2014 ile 2017 y›llar› aras›nda KBB klini¤i-ne kabul edilen ve idiyopatik patolojik LAP tan›s› konulan toplam 100 çocuk retrospektif çal›flmaya dahil edildi.

AbstractObjective: To reveal whether if neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) rates are useful or not in children followed-up due to pathological cervical lymphadenopathy (LAP) of unknown etiology who have a normal hematologic examination. Methods:A total of 100 children admitted to the otorhinolaryngology clinic between 2014 and 2017 with the complaint of swelling in the neck without any etiology revealed on examination and established with the diagnosis of idiopathic pathological LAP were retrospectively included in the study. The control group consisted of 100 children who did not have any infectious condition and could be considered healthy in terms of examination and laboratory findings. Patients' and the control group's age, gender, clinical history, disease course and examination findings were screened from the patients' records in the clinic. Results:Mean white blood cell and lymphocyte count parameters in the patient group were higher than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.008 and p=0.001, respectively). In the patient group, mean NLR and PLR values were significantly lower than the control group (p=0.009 and p=0.020, respectively).Conclusion: NLR and PLR rates may be well correlated with inflammation in children followed-up due to pathologic cervical LAP with unknown etiology.

“…Recently, NLR has been recognized as a simple and cost-effective peripheral biomarker that indicates the inflammatory status because it is believed to reflect the numerical balance between neutrophils and lymphocytes in the blood (9,10,15,16). CRP and ESR are elevated in the event of systemic inflammation, and combined use of ESR and CRP was considered to be more appropriate as inflammatory markers (17).…”
