Each knee x-rays were assigned a grade from 0 to 4 (Kellgren-Lawrence Classification\rSystem (KL). Patients were divided into two groups according to severity of the knee OA as follows. Group\r1: Mild-moderate OA (KL Grade1-2), Group 2: Severe OA (KL Grade 3-4).\rResults: Independent T test and Mann Whitney U test were used to assess whether there was a difference in\rCBC parameters and their derivatives between two groups. Platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), red cell\rdistribution width (RDW) to platelet ratio (RPR) and platelet (PLT) counts indicated statistically significant\rdifferences between the groups, p-values were 0.04, 0.03 and 0.04 respectively. There were no significant\rdifferences in terms of MHR score between the groups.\rConclusions: We could not find a relationship between MHR and radiological degree of knee osteoarthritis.\rHowever, there is a correlation between radiological stage of knee osteoarthritis and hemogram parameters\rlike PLT and their derivatives such as PLR and RPR.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle10.30714/j-ebr.2022173853518897523513
