Evaluation of complete blood cell count parameters and lymphocyte-related ratios in patients with Opioid Use Disorder.

Complete blood count (CBC) parameters and lymphocyte-related ratios are found to be associated with inflammation and increased cytokine production. In Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), CBC parameters can be examined as the inflammatory (oxidative stress) biomarkers which could be used as an objective marker to support the OUD diagnosis and could be used as a disease severity marker. CBC parameters of 142 patients with OUD were examined.

Analysis of QT Dispersion, Corrected QT Dispersion, and P-Wave Dispersion Values in Alcohol Use Disorder Patients With Excessive Alcohol Use.

Objective: To identify the changes in QT dispersion (QTd), corrected QTd (QTcd), and P-wave dispersion (Pd) values with long-term alcohol abuse that could lead to severe ventricular arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, and sudden death in alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients with excessive alcohol use.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 48 individuals diagnosed with AUD based on DSM-5 criteria. Patients with a history of psychiatric diseases were not included.
