Neutrophil/lymphocyte and platelet/lymphocyte ratios as a biomarker in postoperative wound infections

Abstract

We aimed to investigate retrospectively the association between the development of surgical wound infection after orthopedic surgery, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) obtained from complete blood count results.
