Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as an Independent Factor Was Associated With the Severity of Ankylosing Spondylitis
The study was aimed to determine the association of the platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with the disease activity of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). A total of 275 patients, including 180 AS patients and 95 non-AS patients, participated in the study. We assessed a full blood count for each participant....

| Sumario: | The study was aimed to determine the association of the platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with the disease activity of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). A total of 275 patients, including 180 AS patients and 95 non-AS patients, participated in the study. We assessed a full blood count for each participant. Platelet to monocyte ratio (PMR), monocytes to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), monocyte to neutrophil ratio (MNR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet to neutrophil ratio (PNR) were calculated. LASSO and logistic regression analyses were performed to establish the nomogram. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical value of the nomogram. We constructed a novel nomogram, which incorporated easily accessible clinical characteristics like sex, PLR, WBC, EOS, and ESR for AS diagnosis. The AUC value of this nomogram was 0.806; also, the calibration curves indicated a satisfactory agreement between nomogram prediction and actual probabilities. Furthermore, PLR was positively correlated with the severity of AS. PLR was identified as an independent factor for the diagnosis of AS and was associated with the severity of AS. |
