AIM: The purpose of this study was to investigate the usefulness of
the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR)
Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) in the
differential diagnosis and follow-up of patients with Bells Palsy.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty-eight patients diagnosed with Bells
Palsy and 28 control patients were included in the study. Serum samples were
analysed retrospectively on the initial presentation and the seventh day of
admission.
RESULTS: On admission, the NLR was 1.7±1.2. The mean absolute
neutrophil count was 6100 ± 900/mm^3 in Bells Palsy Group. NLR was 0.9 ±
0.2. The mean absolute neutrophil count was 4400 ± 1100/mm^3 in control
group. Statistically, significant changes were not observed in NLR, PLR, MPV
and RDW measurements in Bells Palsy group between House-Brackman Staging.
CONCLUSION: Statistically significant changes in the neutrophil count
and NLR were determined in the measurements between Bells Palsy and control
group (p = 0.013, p = 0.016 respectively) on admission. A grade of the
disease and NLR measurements had no statistically significant connection.
RDW value was investigated for the first time in the literature for Bells
Palsy patients.
