Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious health concern. We set out to investigate the role of neutrophil-to-lymphocytes ratio (NLR) at admission for predicting the need for computed tomography (CT) in mild-TBI. A retrospective study of adult patients who presented with mild-TBI One hundred and thirty patients met the inclusion criteria. Seventy-four patients had positive CT-findings. The mean NLR-levels at presentations were 5.6 ± 4.8. Patients with positive CT-findings had significant higher NLR-levels. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was conducted and the threshold of NLR-levels for detecting the cases with positive CT-findings was 2.5, with 78.1% sensitivity and 63% specificity To the best of our knowledge no previous study has assessed the value of NLR-levels for predicting the need for CT in mild-TBI.
创伤性脑损伤（TBI）是一个严重的健康问题。我们着手研究入院时中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值（NLR）在预测轻度创伤性脑损伤患者是否需要进行计算机断层扫描（CT）方面的作用。对成年轻度创伤性脑损伤患者进行了一项回顾性研究。130例患者符合纳入标准。74例患者CT检查结果为阳性。就诊时的平均NLR水平为5.6±4.8。CT检查结果为阳性的患者NLR水平显著更高。进行了受试者工作特征曲线分析，检测CT检查结果为阳性病例的NLR水平阈值为2.5，敏感性为78.1%，特异性为63%。据我们所知，以前没有研究评估过NLR水平在预测轻度创伤性脑损伤患者是否需要CT方面的价值。
