      Are neutrophil-, eosinophil-, and basophil-to-lymphocyte ratios useful markers for pinpointing patients at higher risk of recurrent sinonasal polyps?

          Abstract

          Despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), their recurrence rate remains significant. There is a need for promptly-obtainable, inexpensive, minimally-invasive prognostic parameters to enable rhinologists to identify patients at higher risk of recurrent CRSwNP. The prognostic role of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and eosinophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (ELR), previously discussed as potential markers of inflammation, has already been investigated in CRSwNP. The aim of the present study was to test the prognostic value of the NLR and ELR, and also of the basophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (BLR) (given the emerging role of basophils in CRSwNP) in a large series of CRSwNP.
