Table 2 Correlation analysis between DXA Z scores and hemogram parameters according to severity of scoliosis.
| Hemogram parameters | COBB angle degrees | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| <10 | 10–20 | 21–35 | ||||
| r | p | r | p | r | p | |
| NLR | 0.039 | 0.709 | −0.040 | 0.736 | 0.814 | |
| MLR | 0.021 | 0.837 | −0.090 | 0.453 | 0.544 | |
| PLR | 0.097 | 0.346 | 0.324 | 0.714 | ||
| r: Pearson’ correlation coefficient. 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. | ||||||
