OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of inflammatory markers determined during admission among patients with sarcoidosis with chronic and remission groups.
METHODS: This study was designed as retrospective single-center study. Patients with sarcoidosis without treatment and who had at least two years of follow-up were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups as chronic and remission. The primary outcome is to evaluate hematological parameters in remission and chronic sarcoidosis groups.
RESULTS: Out of 348 patients with sarcoidosis, 142 patients without treatment and followed up for at least two years were included in this study. Groups had similar demographic features with the predominance of females (80.4 and 77.9%, respectively) and stage I disease (78.6 and 68.6%, respectively). Lymphocyte count [median (IQR) 1.7 (1.3-2.3) 109/L versus 2.1 (1.6-2.4) 109/L, p=0.034] was significantly lower, whereas neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was significantly higher [median (IQR) 2.6 (2.0-3.1) versus 2.0 (1.6-2.8), p=0.006] at admission in the chronic group. No significant difference was determined in inflammatory parameters at admission between groups.
CONCLUSION: Lower lymphocyte count and higher neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio were determined in patients with chronic sarcoidosis compared with the remission group, based on monitoring of radiological staging up to five-year after the initial diagnosis. Accordingly, the identification of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio at diagnosis seems to be a potential prognostic marker in patients with sarcoidosis beside its low cost and easy determination in routine clinical practice.
