Objective: In this study, it was aimed to reveal whether the preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio values of the patient groups who underwent acute and elective cholecystectomy have predictive value.
Material and Methods: Within the scope of the study, patients who underwent cholecystectomy between 2018-2020 were evaluated. Age, gender, operation method (laparoscopic or open), length of stay, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts were recorded from the patients' files. Patients whose diagnosis of acute cholecystitis and cholelithiasis were confirmed histopathologically, were compared in terms of the ratio of neutrophil lymphocyte counts, and the diagnostic value of these data was determined by ROC curves and cross tables.
Results: The leukocyte and platelet lymphocyte ratio values of the patients in the acute cholecystectomy group were found to be significantly higher than the patients in the elective cholecystectomy group (p=0.001). Similarly, the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio was found to be significantly higher in patients who underwent acute cholecystectomy compared to patients that underwent elective cholecystectomy (p=0.001).
Conclusion: In line with the data, we obtained from our study, it is seen that the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio value is a predictive value in cases of acute cholecystitis.
