Kim DH, Oh JH, Kim J, et al. - Among 54 patients diagnosed with Bell’s palsy (BP) and 39 healthy randomly selected controls, researchers explored the connection between BP and inflammation utilizing multiple inflammatory markers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume, and red cell distribution width. According to this retrospective study, in the BP group, the NLR values were significantly higher than in the control group. The mean PLR value in the BP group was higher than in the control group, but there were no significant differences between the low-grade and high-grade BP groups, and there were no statistically significant differences in the other features. Findings suggested that the NLR and PLR values are readily accessible parameters which in pediatric patients with BP can be useful prognostic markers.
