Purpose: To assess the utility of inflammatory marker levels in defining orbital cellulitis (OC) severity.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at 2 tertiary care centers using a medical record search of billing codes from January 1, 2000, to January 1, 2023. Patients were categorized into 2 cohorts-uncomplicated OC and OC with complication [subperiosteal abscess (SPA), orbital abscess (OA), or cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST)].

Previous studies have shown that the pre-transplant C-reactive protein (CRP)/platelet ratio (CP ratio) is a predictor of survival. The aim of this multicenter retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical significance of CP ratio in patients with malignant lymphoma (ML) who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT). The cohort included patients with ML who underwent first alloHCT from 2007 to 2021.

Acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) further elevate this risk, potentially through a heightened prothrombotic state. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the levels of select prothrombotic biomarkers - fibrinogen, C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, von Willebrand Factor (vWF), homocysteine, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) - in patients with stable COPD and AECOPD, and to assess their diagnostic and prognostic significance.
