Evaluation of Mean Platelet Volume and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Tympanoplasty Performed Patients

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: To investigate the predictive role of mean platelet volume (MPV) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) values for surgical success in patients who has performed tympanoplasty for chronic otitis media. METHODS: The pre-op haemograms of patients who had been performed type 1 tympanoplasty surgery between January 2014 and July 2017 were obtained. Patients divided in 2 groups as succesful surgery and unsuccesful surgery. Same number of non operated patients were added to study. MPV and NLR values were analyzed. The results were evaluated with statistic programme named as SPSS 23.0. RESULTS: In this study, 978 patients have performed type 1 tympanoplasty. It was observed 27 patients had reperforation. Because of chronic diseases 7 patients did not include to study. Each group included 20 subjects. In each group there were 17 woman and 3 man subjects. There was no statistical significant difference of MPV (p=.564) and NLR (p=.511) values between succesful and unsuccesful surgery group. Also there was no significant difference of MPV (p=.715) and NLR (p=.862) values between succesful surgery patients and non-operated control group. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In this retrospective study, it is thought that MPV and NLR values were not effective in predicting surgical success.
