Özet
Aim: To investigate the value of neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in differentiating acute scrotal conditions. Methods: A total of 60 patients, including 30 epididymo-orchitis and 30 testicular torsions, diagnosed and treated in our clinic between January 1, 2010 and December 2022, were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups; group 1 (testicular torsion = TT) and Group 2 (epididymo-orchitis = EO). The age, diagnosis, and hemogram parameters of the patients were evaluated. Results: Both Group 1 and Group 2 consisted of 30 patients each. The mean ages of group 1 and 2 were 13.7, and 11.2 years, respectively (p>0.05). When compared to the group 2, NLR was higher in the group 2 (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of PLR value (p >0.05). ROC analysis was performed for NLR. According to the ROC analysis; at a cut-off value of 2.92, the sensitivity was 51% and the specificity was 87%, AUC (0.79; CI: 0.694 - 0.896). Conclusion: TT and EO can be diagnosed using inflammatory markers such as NLR. However, additional prospective studies are needed.
