Table 1 The comparison of hemogram parameters across scoliosis groups.
Hemogram parameters | COBB angle degrees | p-value | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
<10 (n=96) | 10–20 (n=72) | 21–35 (n=16) | ||
NLR | 1.4 (0.9–1.9) | 1.4 (1–2.4) | 1.4 (1.1–2.4) | 0.493 |
MLR | 0.2 (0.2–0.3) | 0.2 (0.2–0.3) | 0.2 (0.1–0.3) | 0.629 |
PLR | 107.9 (89.3–125.5)a | 104.2 (94.1–125.6)b | 80.4 (76.3–194.4)ab | |
Values are expressed as median (25–75 percentile). p-values are calculated using Kruskal Wallis test a,b Same superscript letters indicate statistically significant difference between the two groups based on the Dunn’s test. Bold p-values indicate statistical significance at α=0.05. NLR – neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; MLR – monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio; PLR – platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio. |
