| Popis: | To assess the usefulness of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a predictive factor of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) in patients presenting at the emergency department (ED) with acute abdominal pain. This is a retrospective case-control study of patients older than 16 years admitted to the ED with acute abdominal pain with CT and histologic confirmation. The study group corresponded to patients with abdominal CT with radiological signs of AMI. The control group corresponded to patients with non-AMI findings in abdominal CT. Association measurements of NLR with radiological signs were compared with a paired-sample t test, and multivariate regression performed to analyze potential correlations. To assess the diagnosis capacity of NLR, ROC curves were calculated. A total of 61 patients were included (32 cases and 29 controls). The cases of AMI showed higher mortality (43.8% vs 6.9%, p |
