Background: Neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages activations are associated with a gout attack. Monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), red cell distribution width (RDW), and mean platelet volume (MPV) are well-known inflammation markers. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether they could be a predictive marker to the gout attack. Material and Methods: A hundred and ten gout patients (male/female, 86/24) and 90 (male/female, 64/26) age-, gender-, and body mass index-matched volunteer controls were included in the study. Blood samples were obtained in the intercritical and attack period of the patients. Hemogram, serum uric acid (SUA), C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) values were studied. Results: In the attack period NLR (p < 0.001), PLR (p < 0.05), MLR (p < 0.001), RDW (p < 0.05), MPV (p < 0.05), ESR (p < 0.001), CRP (p < 0.001) and SUA (p < 0.001) values were significantly higher than intercritical period values. According to the results of regression analysis; There was an independent strong relationship between the gout attack and SUA, (Beta [β] = 0.352, p < 0.001), ESR (β = 0.329, p < 0.001), CRP (β = 0.286, p < 0.001), MLR (β = 0.126, p < 0.001), RDW (β = 0.100, p = 0.003) and NLR (β = 0.082, p = 0.014). Conclusions: MLR, RDW, and NLR may be a strong predictive marker for a gout attack. MPV and PLR values in the gout attack may be associated with systemic inflammation.

e15502 Background: Red cell distribution width (RDW) is an elevated marker in several cancers like breast, colon, prostate and pancreatic cancer at the time of diagnosis. Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common cancer and also third leading cause of cancer deaths.We aimed to determine whether RDW values differ between gastric cancer and healthy subjects, as well as to evaluate association between RDW and other factors. Also, we examined other two important inflammatory markers in GC patients: neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) Methods: This retrospective study included 68 gastric cancer patients and 42 age and sex matched healthy controls. The exclusion criteria involved cardiac disease, chronic obstructive lung disease, thromboembolism, chronic renal failure, hepatic disorders, hypertension, acute and chronic infections, stroke, hematologic disease and other accompanying cancer. Blood samples were retrospectively obtained from computerized patient database. Results: Among 110 subjects; RDW, NLR and PLR were significantly higher in GC patients when compared to healthy subjects (RDW: 44,9 vs 41,4 p < 0.0001, NLR: 3,40 vs 1,90 p < 0.0001, PLR: 245,9 vs 131,1 p = 0.007). There was no statistically significant association between these markers (RDW, NLR and PLR) and stage, histopathological subgroups and metastasis stage at the time of diagnosis. Conclusions: Elevated RDW is a simple, cheap and readily available marker and may be useful in gastric cancer at the time of diagnosis. Also, NLR and PLR can accompany RDW in the assessment of gastric cancer. Key words: gastric, red cell distribution width, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, platelet to lymphocyte ratio, cancer

Aims. Gastric cancer (GC) is often diagnosed at an advanced stage; inexpensive and valid biomarkers for GC are still unavailable. We aimed to evaluate the prognosis of the combination of pretreatment red cell distribution width (RDW) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with GC. Methods. A retrospective analysis from 103 GC patients who were diagnosed at our institution from 2012 to 2016 was performed. Both pretreatment RDW and NLR were calculated based on the recommended cutoff values of 13.4% and 2.755, respectively. Combined values of RDW and NLR (RDW + NLR) stratified patients into a score of 0 (RDW ≤ 13.4% and NLR ≤ 2.755), a score of 1 (RDW > 13.4% or NLR > 2.755), and a score of 2 (RDW > 13.4% and NLR > 2.755). Prognostic significances for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed. Results. Pretreatment RDW + NLR was a significantly independent prognostic factor for OS and PFS. Moreover, high RDW + NLR was strongly related to age, tumor location, TNM stage, CA125, and CA199. In a subgroup analysis for patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC), we observed that the level of RDW + NLR was markedly associated with OS and PFS. Conclusion. Pretreatment RDW + NLR is a simple, inexpensive, and valid prognostic system to predict the survival in patients with GC, especially AGC.
