Are inflammatory parameters an independent predictor of hip osteoarthritis severity? A prospective cross-sectional study. Revista da Associação Médica Brasileira, 68, 1423-1427.0104-42301806-9282http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1806-9282.20220445PUBMED ID: 36417647https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12491/11599OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the presence of hip osteoarthritis and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet -lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio, and neutrophil-monocyte ratio.METHODS: Participants with hip osteoarthritis and healthy controls aged 45-75 years were recruited in the study. The participants with hip osteoarthritis were divided into two groups: mild/moderate hip osteoarthritis and severe hip osteoarthritis. Complete blood parameters of the participants were recorded, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil-monocyte ratio, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-lymphocyte ratio were calculated. Pain severity was evaluated using a visual analog scale.RESULTS: A total of 76 participants with hip osteoarthritis and 59 healthy controls were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 57.6 +/- 6.11 years. Mean neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil-monocyte ratio values were statistically significantly different between the hip osteoarthritis group and healthy control group (p<0.05). Platelet-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein values were not significantly different between the groups. Also, there was no difference between all inflammatory parameters and hip osteoarthritis severity (p>0.05).CONCLUSIONS: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil-monocyte ratio values were higher in patients with hip osteoarthritis than in healthy controls. Mean platelet-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein values did not change according to the presence of hip osteoarthritis. Not all hematological indices give valuable information regarding the severity of hip osteoarthritis.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHip OsteoarthritisInflammationX-raysNeutrophil-Lymphocyte RatioKnee OsteoarthritisDisease-ActivityArticle10.1590/1806-9282.20220445681014231427364176472-s2.0-85142940171Q3WOS:000913824800018Q4
