Materials and Methods: A total of 50 participants were included in the study. Participants were divided into two groups: Twenty-five patients diagnosed with BRVO and 25 participants as the control group. Ocular examination findings and hematologic parameters were accessed from the file records and database, retrospectively. Results: The mean MHR was significantly higher in BRVO group compared to the control group (13.4 +/- 5.2 vs. 8.1 +/- 2.2, p < 0.001). In receiver operating characteristics analysis, the area under the curve for MHR was 0.862, and an MHR of >9.5 predicted BRVO with a sensitivity of 76% and specificity of 70.8%. Conclusion: The present study showed that elevated MHR is significantly associated with BRVO. Therefore, MHR may be a useful marker for the emergence of BRVO.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBranch Retinal Vein OcclusionBrvoInflammationMhrMonocyte/High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (Hdl) RatioArticle283463467309668422-s2.0-85064179806Q1WOS:000465841300001Q210.1080/09273948.2019.1569244
