Can neutrophil-lymphocyte, platelet-lymphocyte ratio and mean platelet volume be marker in tonsil hemorrhage?

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) in patients with bleeding after tonsillectomy surgery compared to non-bleeding patients, and to determine the risk of bleeding in patients undergoing surgery. Thirty patients with pediatric hemorrhage after the adenotonsillectomy and tonsillectomy surgery at the Otorhinolaryngology Clinic of Afyon Kocatepe University Hospital between 2012-2016 and 30 patients without any infection were included in the study. Patients were evaluated retrospectively. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) values were recorded in preoperative patients. They were compared with control patients. There were 30 patients in both groups (n=30). The average age was 8 in the control group and 7 in the patient group. There was no significant difference in NLR. (p=0.085). There was a significant difference in terms of PLR (p=0.039). There was a significant difference in MPV. (p=0.022). There was no significant difference in PLR and MPV values in patients with bleeding after tonsillectomy. There was no significant difference in NLR values.
