dc.description.abstractObjective: To investigate the monocyte-to-HDL-cholesterol ratio (MHR), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), eosinophil-to-lymphocytes ratio (ELR), platelet distribution width (PDW), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), MPV to platelet count ratio (MPV/PC), and RDW to platelet ratio (RPR) that are accepted as inflammatory markers in patients with keratoconus. Methods: In this study, 43 patients with keratoconus and 43 healthy individuals as the control group were retrospectively evaluated. High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), lymphocyte, neutrophil, eosinophil, monocyte, platelet, MPV, PDW, and RDW values were obtained with complete blood count performed on the peripheral blood samples. Results: Absolute monocyte (593 +/- 182 vs 492 +/- 177; p < 0.05) and neutrophil (4860 +/- 1553 vs 3954 +/- 1297; p < 0.01) counts were statistically significantly higher in the keratoconus groups compared to the control group. MHR (13.18 +/- 5.02 vs 9.88 +/- 4.45; p < 0.01) and NLR (2.30 +/- 0.87 vs 1.77 +/- 0.61; p < 0.01) were statistically significantly higher and LMR (4.07 +/- 1.67 vs 5.18 +/- 2.06; p < 0.01) was significantly lower in the keratoconus group. As a result of univariate logistic regression analysis, it was observed that MHR and NLR were statistically significant relationship with keratoconus (p = 0.02 and p = 0.021) (Odds ratio = 5.41 (95% CI: 1.169-6.669) and Odds ratio:5.28 (95% CI: 1.024-6.321); respectively). No statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of PLR, ELR, RDW, MPV, PDW, MPV/PC, and RPR. Adjusting for age and gender, multivariate regression analysis revealed that MHR was the most significant parameter to demonstrate relationship with keratoconus (p = 0.025) (Odds ratio = 4.99 (95% CI: 1.019-6.332)). Conclusion: MHR and NLR values considered as inflammatory markers were statistically significantly higher and LMR value was significantly lower in the keratoconus group. Among these values, MHR was the most reliable parameter.en_US
