ABSTRACT
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Cellulite infection is a non-necrotizing inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue and is one of the most common reasons for admission to hospital. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), and Lymphocyte to Monocyte Ratio (LMR) in patients with cellulitis. METHODS In our study, we retrospectively analyzed 96 patients with cellulitis and 98 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. The study and control groups were compared regarding NLR, PLR, and LMR.0.001). When patients with cellulitis were divided into two groups, i.e., ≥65 years and <65 years, a statistically significant difference was noted in the NLR and LMR values (p < 0.05). In the ROC curve analysis, NLR had the highest discriminative power in distinguishing between cellulitis and healthy controls (AUC = 0.950, 95% CI 0.920-0.979, p < 0.001; 91.6% sensitivity and 89.8% specificity). CONCLUSION NLR was significantly higher in differentiating cellulite and in patients older than 65 years. Larger, prospective studies are required to determine its usefulness in assessing differential diagnosis and prognosis in cellulitis patients.
RESUMO
RESUMO OBJETIVO A celulite infecciosa é uma inflamação não necrotizante da pele e do tecido subcutâneo e uma das causas mais comuns para internação. O objetivo deste estudo retrospectivo foi investigar as relações Neutrófilo/Linfócito (RNL), Plaqueta/Linfócito (RPL) e Linfócito/Monócito (RLM) em pacientes com celulite. MÉTODOS Nós analisamos, retrospectivamente, 96 pacientes com celulite e 98 controles saudáveis equivalentes em sexo e idade. Os grupos foram comparados quanto a RNL, RPL e RLM. RESULTADOS Os valores de RPL e RNL do grupo com celulite foram significativamente mais elevados do que os do grupo de controle (p < 0,001). Após dividir os pacientes com celulite em dois grupos, ≥65 anos e <65 anos, uma diferença estatisticamente significativa foi observada nos valores de RNL e RLM (p < 0,05). Na análise da curva ROC, a RNL apresentou o maior poder de discriminação para distinguir entre pacientes com celulite e controles saudáveis (AUC = 0,950, 95% CI 0,920 - 0,979; p < 0,001; 91,6% de sensibilidade e 89,8% de especificidade). CONCLUSÃO O valor de RNL foi significativamente maior para a diferenciação de pacientes com celulite e pacientes com mais de 65 anos. Estudos prospectivos maiores são necessários para determinar a sua utilidade na avaliação de diagnósticos diferenciais e prognósticos em pacientes com celulite.
