Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte Ratio: A Shunned Entity as a Novelty in Diagnosing Peripheral Vestibular Disorders.

ABSTRACT: Vestibular vertigo is a condition characterized by dizziness or imbalance, often resulting from changes in head position. With an incidence of 1.4% in adults, vertigo is a common symptom in the general population (Oxford Textbook of Vertigo and Imbalance, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2013). To study the potential association of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in patients with peripheral vestibular disorders. A one year cross-sectional observational study with a total of 51 confirmed cases of peripheral vestibular disorders was conducted in the department ENT and HNS. The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR) and DHI scoring was analysed. Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient was used for statistical analysis. 41.18% of patients in the study were male, while 58.82% of the patients were fe
