Abstract
The effect of adenoid tissue volume on mean platelet volume and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio
Highlights
Adenoid hypertrophy(AH) was first described by Wilhelm Meyer in 1868, is the most common cause of upper airway obstruction in childhood [1]
No statistically significant difference in mean neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) values was observed between pre- and postoperatively in both groups A and B (p=0.137, p=0.191, respectively)
Future randomized studies should explore the relationship between the mean platelet volume (MPV) levels, NLR values and all of the size of AH in larger numbers of patients
Summary
Adenoid hypertrophy(AH) was first described by Wilhelm Meyer in 1868, is the most common cause of upper airway obstruction in childhood [1]. More serious long-term sequelae, typically secondary to OSA, include cardiovascular morbidity such as decreased right ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular hypertrophy, elevated diastolic blood pressure [2]. Cardiovascular morbidity is closely associated with the functions of the platelets [3]. Mean platelet volume(MPV) is considered to be a parameter used as an index of platelet functions. In literature, increasing MPV levels have been associated with the prognosis of some diseases including such as hypertension, unstable angina pectoralis and OSA [5,6]. The study of Sagit et al [7] have shown that MPV levels are elevated in patients with marked septal deviation. The study of Varol et al [4] have reported that MPV levels were increased in patients with severe OSA
