Aim:
We aimed to evaluate platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with sarcoidosis.
Methods:
A total of 310 sarcoidosis patients and 220 healthy controls retrospectively were recorded in this study.
Results:
PLR was significantly higher in patients with sarcoidosis than in the control group, and was also significantly higher in patients with pulmonary involvement in stage 2-3-4 than in stage 1. PLR were significantly positive correlated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The cut-off values for PLR for predicting a sarcoidosis diagnosis were determined as 158.
Conclusion:
Increase in PLR value can be used for guiding both the diagnosis of sarcoidosis and the involvement of parenchyma.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
