Article Synopsis
- Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are serious skin reactions mainly triggered by drugs, and SCORTEN is used to predict their severity and mortality risk.
- A recent study sought to determine if the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) could serve as a prognostic marker for SJS/TEN by analyzing patient data over four years from a hospital.
- Although a weak positive correlation was found between NLR and SCORTEN, it wasn’t statistically significant, suggesting that while NLR indicates systemic inflammation, its effectiveness in predicting disease severity needs further research with more patients.
