ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, postmenopozal osteoporozda sistemik
immün inflamasyon indeksinin (SII) prognostik rolünün değerlendirilmesi
ve SII, nötrofil-lenfosit oranı (NLO), platelet-lenfosit oranı (PLO), ortalama
platelet hacmi (OPH), eritrosit sedimentasyon hızı (ESH), C-reaktif protein
(CRP), femur ve lomber vertebra kemik mineral dansitometri (KMD) T
skorlarının ve birbirleriyle ilişkilerinin incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler:
Bu retrospektif vaka-kontrol çalışmasına 139 hasta dâhil edildi. Lomber
vertebra 1-4, femur boynu KMD T skorları, yaş, ESH, CRP, OPH değerleri
kaydedildi. NLO, PLO ve SII değerleri hesaplandı. Lomber ve femoral T
skoru ≥-1 olan hastalar kontrol grubunu (n=31); lomber veya femoral T
skoru -1 ve -2,5 arasında olan hastalar osteopeni grubunu (n=38), ≤-2,5 olan
hastalar osteoporoz grubunu (n=37), ≤-2,5 ve 1 ya da daha fazla frajilite
kırığı olanlar şiddetli osteoporoz grubunu (n=33) oluşturdu. Bulgular: SII
değeri osteoporoz grubunda osteopeni grubuna göre anlamlı olarak daha
yüksekti (p=0,004). SII değerinin osteopenik hastalarda osteoporozu
öngörmede tanısal değeri vardı (eğri altındaki alan: 0,686, %95 güven
aralığı: 0,565-0,806, p<0,006); SII için kestirim değeri 458,46 olarak
hesaplandı. ESH değeri şiddetli osteoporoz grubunda osteopeni ve kontrol
gruplarına kıyasla anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (p<0,001, p=0,0080). Gruplar
arasında diğer değişkenler açısından anlamlı farklılık yoktu (p>0,05).
Sonuç: SII değeri, postmenopozal osteopenik hastalarda osteoporoz
gelişimini öngörmede kullanılabilecek prognostik bir prediktör olabilir.

ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic
role of the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) in postmenopausal
osteoporosis and to examine the SII, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR),
platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), erythrocyte
sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), femur and lumbar bone
mineral densitometry (BMD) T scores and their relationships with each
other. Material and Methods: 139 patients were included in this retrospective
case-control study. Lumbar vertebra 1-4 and femoral neck BMD T
scores, ages, ESR, CRP, MPV values were recorded. NLR, PLR, and SII
values were calculated. Patients with lumbar and femoral T scores ≥-1 were
the control group (n=31); with lumbar or femoral T scores between -1 and
-2.5 were the osteopenia group (n=38), ≤-2.5 were the osteoporosis group
(n=37), ≤-2.5 and one or more fragility fractures were the severe osteoporosis
group (n=33). Results: SII value was significantly higher in the osteoporosis
group compared to the osteopenia group (p=0.004). SII value had
a diagnostic value in predicting osteoporosis in patients with osteopenia
(area under curve: 0.686, %95 confidence interval: 0.565-0.806, p<0.006);
the cut-off value for the SII was calculated as 458.46. ESR value was significantly
higher in the severe osteoporosis group compared to the osteopenia
group and the control group (p<0.001, p=0.0080). There was no
significant difference between the groups in terms of other variables
(p>0.05). Conclusion: SII value can be a prognostic predictor that can be
used to predict the development of osteoporosis in postmenopausal osteopenic
patients.
