Association Between the Neutrophil-To-Lymphocyte Ratio and Diabetes Secondary to Exocrine Pancreatic Disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes mellitus among patients with exocrine pancreatic disorders is commonly known to be associated with chronic inflammation, including chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a novel marker that indicates the presence of various chronic inflammatory diseases, including type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, no studies have examined the relationship between the NLR value and diabetes secondary to exocrine pancreatic disorders.

Aim

To determine whether the NLR value is associated with diabetes secondary to exocrine pancreatic disorders.

Methods

The medical data of subjects with confirmed pancreatic disease who were admitted to the Department of Pancreatic Surgery of our institution from Augu
