The predictive role of platelet to lymphocyte ratio in the occurrence of anastomotic complications following gastric resections for neoplasia – single centre experience

Abstract

Introduction: Our study investigated the importance of inflammation markers – ratio of platelets and lymphocytes (PLR), ratio of neutrophils and lymphocytes (NLR) and ratio of lymphocytes and monocytes (LMR) – as predictive markers in the occurrence of fistula or stenosis in patients diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent gastric resections.
