ClinConnect Summary

Patients and Methods: A total of 48 patients with MCs (type I/type II=24/24) were included in this study. Their demographic, clinical and hematologic characteristics were recorded. A 10 cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to detect low back pain intensity. Systemic inflammatory biomarkers including NLR, monocyte/lymphocyte (MLR), platelet/lymphocyte (PLR), neutrophil/lymphocyte\*platelet (NLPR), systemic inflammatory index (SII), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), and aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI) were derived from whole blood cell count.
