Objective: To investigate the effect of newly defined systemic immune-inflammation index levels on the diagnosis, prognosis, and severity of Bell's palsy.
Materials and Methods: The study group was formed from patients diagnosed with Bell's palsy. Calculated ratios with the data obtained from the complete blood count examinations taken before the treatment were statistically investigated for the diagnosis, prognosis, and severity of the disease.
Results: We did not determine any statistically significant correlation between the determined facial paralysis stages and the investigated ratios. Similarly, there was no correlation between the first and sixth-month recovery rates of the study group and the investigated parameters (p>0.05). In addition, differences in parameters between the control and study groups were not statistically significant.
Conclusions: The results of the presented study contain differences from the current literature. In addition, it provides new information about the effect of the systemic immune-inflammation index on the prognosis of Bell's palsy. Considering the outcomes of research on hematological parameters is important, as various factors can impact them.

Sistemik İmmün-İnflamasyon İndeksi, Bell Palsinin Prognozu ve Şiddeti ile İlişkili mi?

Öz

Amaç: Yeni tanımlanan sistemik immün-inflamasyon indeksi seviyelerinin Bell paralizisinin tanı, prognoz ve şiddeti üzerindeki etkisini araştırmak.
Materyal ve Metot: Çalışma grubu, Bell paralizisi tanısı konan hastalardan oluşturuldu. Tedavi öncesi alınan tam kan sayımı verileri ile hesaplanan oranlar, hastalığın tanı, prognoz ve şiddeti açısından istatistiksel olarak incelendi.
Bulgular: Belirlenen fasial paralizi evreleri ile araştırılan oranlar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir korelasyon tespit edilmedi. Benzer şekilde, çalışma grubunun birinci ve altıncı ay iyileşme oranları ile incelenen parametreler arasında bir ilişki bulunmadı (p>0,05). Ayrıca, kontrol ve çalışma grubu arasındaki parametre farklılıkları da istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi.
Sonuç: Sunulan çalışmanın sonuçları mevcut literatürden farklılıklar içermektedir. Ayrıca, sistemik immün-inflamasyon indeksinin Bell paralizisinin prognozu üzerindeki etkisi hakkında yeni bilgiler sağlamaktadır. Bu hematolojik parametreler üzerinde yapılan araştırma sonuçlarının çeşitli faktörlerden etkilenebileceği göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
