Abstract
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the significance of preoperative neutrophil to lymphocyte and platelet to lymphocyte ratios in predicting the pathological grade of supratentorial meningiomas.
Methods: This retrospective study included a total of 94 patients with newly diagnosed supratentorial meningiomas. Preoperative lymphocyte, neutrophil, platelet counts, and neutrophil to lymphocyte and platelet to lymphocyte ratios were obtained.
Results: Of the 94 patients, 73 patients and 21 patients showed low- and high-grade meningiomas, respectively. Among the hematological markers, only neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio showed significantly higher value in high-grade meningioma group and showed diagnostic efficacy in predicting the pathological grade.
Conclusions: The higher the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, the higher the grade of meningioma. This can help neurosurgeons to have better treatment plan before the surgical intervention.
