Kan Ö, et al. - Researchers investigated whether neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have diagnostic value in determining the rupture risk in ampullar tubal ectopic pregnancies (EP). They analyzed 142 patients who underwent surgery for tubal EP (72 patients in the intraoperatively diagnosed tubal rupture group and 70 patients without rupture findings in the control group). The tubal rupture group displayed significantly higher levels of both NLR and PLR. Findings thus suggest systemic inflammatory markers as feasible and affordable tools for predicting tubal rupture risk in ampullar EPs and as valuable for determining surgery decision, especially in low resource settings.
