  • The study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of various factors, introducing the neutrophil-to-C-reactive protein ratio (NCR) as a potential predictor for post-surgery complications in pancreatic cancer.
  • Involving 92 patients who had pancreaticoduodenectomy, the study used statistical analyses to determine important cutoff values and independent risk factors for complications.
  • Results showed that low levels of lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio, albumin levels below 3.6, and NCR below 0.28 were significant indicators of overall survival and could guide better postoperative care for pancreatic cancer patients.

Objective: An inguinal hernia may transform to an incarcerated hernia, which would require emergency surgery with increased morbidity and mortality. This study aims to analyze whether it is possible to predict intestinal ischemia in incarcerated hernia using complete blood count parameters and serum C-reactive protein (CRP).

Methods: Medical records of 129 patients were used to analyze whether there is a correlation between intestinal ischemia and laboratory parameters.
