This study was conducted by analyzing term neonates with EOS and physiological jaundice who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Izmir Katip Celebi University Ataturk Training and Research Hospital. A total of 63 neonate files were examined to include 30 term neonates with EOS, and 77 neonate files were examined to include 30 term neonates with physiological jaundice as a control group. NLR had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.891 for prediction of EOS. At a cut-off level of 1.42, NLR had a likelihood ratio (LR) of 5.5, sensitivity of 88%, a specificity of 84%, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 84.6%, and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 87.5%. MPV had an AUC of 0.666 for the prediction of EOS and at a cut-off level of 9.3 fL, MPV had an LR of 1.23, sensitivity of 84%, a specificity of 32%, a PPV of 55.2%, and an NPV of 66.6%. In conclusion, this study provides evidence that NLR and MPV can be used in addition to conventional parameters in the diagnosis of EOS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1715104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,31]],"date-time":"2020-08-31T20:23:55Z","timestamp":1598905435000},"page":"143-147","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Diagnostic
