| Title: Systemic inflammation in both open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma: role of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio | ||
| Author: M. Karahan, D. Kilic, S. Guven | ||
| Abstract: AIM: To analyse the effect of systemic inflammatory status in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) by calculating platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). METHODS: This retrospective case-control study included 200 patients with POAG, 22 patients with PACG and 100 healthy subjects. The participants’ white-blood-cell, lymphocyte, neutrophil, and platelet counts were recorded from previous blood assays. NLR and PLR were calculated manually. Results were compared among the groups. RESULTS: Both the POAG and PACG groups had higher platelet counts and PLR values than the control group (p=0.001 and p=0.001; respectively). The difference in NLR between POAG, PACG and control groups was not statistically significant (p=0.076). The POAG group had higher NLR values than the control (p=0.035). CONCLUSION: Both the POAG and the PACG groups exhibited higher platelet and PLR levels than the control. These results indicate a potential role of systemic inflammation in the pathogenesis of POAG and PACG (Tab. 4, Fig. 1, Ref. 35). |
