Objective:
This study aims to explore the correlation between serum monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and other inflammatory parameters with the occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in patients.
Methods:
This study included 310 patients who underwent polysomnography monitoring at our hospital between January 2021 and January 2023. Routine blood inflammatory parameters and polysomnography (PSG) results were also evaluated. The differences in inflammatory markers between the OSAHS and normal groups were compared, and OSAHS independent related factors were screened.
Results:
The MLR of OSAHS group was significantly higher than that of control group, and the difference was statistically significant. Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that MLR is an independent risk factor for OSAHS.
Conclusion:
High MLR was correlated with OSAHS. The diagnostic value of MLR was better than that of the other inflammatory parameters.
