Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

This retracted study investigated the predictive value of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio for surgical site infections after kidney cancer surgery. The findings are invalid due to a compromised peer review process.

Area Of Science

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Infections
  • Hematology

Background

  • Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a significant complication following radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
  • Preoperative inflammatory markers, such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), have been explored as potential predictors of various outcomes in cancer patients.
  • Operating room factors may also influence the risk of SSIs.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To evaluate the predictive value of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR).
  • To assess the combined predictive value of NLR, PLR, and operating room factors for surgical site infection (SSI) after laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients.

Main Methods

  • Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma.
  • Calculation of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR).
  • Inclusion of relevant operating room factors in the analysis.

Main Results

  • The study aimed to identify significant predictors of surgical site infection (SSI) in this patient cohort.
  • Specific predictive values of NLR, PLR, and operating room factors were to be determined.

Conclusions

  • The article has been retracted due to a compromised peer review process.
  • Therefore, no valid conclusions can be drawn from this study regarding the predictive value of NLR, PLR, or operating room factors for SSIs after LRN in RCC patients.
