Many new biomarkers have been introduced to aid the diagnosis of inflammatory diseases. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the risk of recurrence of lower-extremity cellulitis wounds and the factors determining the need for hospitalization. Demographic characteristics and underlying diseases of the patients, white blood cell count, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, lymphocyte and monocyte counts at admission, white blood cell count at admission, platelet count, total protein, albumin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin level, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and CRP\/albumin ratio were evaluated. Of the 132 patients with lower extremity cellulitis wounds, the median age was 56 years (range, 20-96 years), and 88 (66.7%) were male. Diabetes mellitus was the most commonly associated systemic disease. The most common symptom (97%) was a rash. Of the patients, 80 (60.6%) were hospitalized and 52 (39.4%) were treated as outpatients. Seventeen (12.9%) patients had recurrent cellulitis. While comorbidities and increased lesion size increased the risk in patients with recurrent cellulitis, median platelet count (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.010), D-dimer level (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.036), and CRP-Alb ratio (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.019) were higher. Particularly increased lesion size, platelet count, total protein, and CRP levels should be a warning to clinicians in terms of the need for hospitalization and the risk of recurrence in patients with cellulite. In our study, PLR and CRP\/albumin ratios were found to be high in these patient groups, and determining the usefulness of new biomarkers through new studies will give us a new perspective in clinical practice.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15347346241235873","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,28]],"date-time":"2024-02-28T03:11:31Z","timestamp":1709089891000},"page":"490-495","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Prognostic Significance of NLR, LMR, PLR, and CRP-Albumin Ratio in Lower Extremity Cellulitis: A Hospitalization and Recurrence Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7769-247X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"P\u0131nar","family":"Y\u00fcr\u00fck Atasoy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ankara City Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Esra","family":"G\u00fcrb\u00fcz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology, Health Sciences University Van Training and Research Hospital, Van, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sevil","family":"Alkan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of \u0130nfectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Canakkale, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinf.2004.12.010"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","volume-title":"StatPearls [Internet]","author":"Brown BD","unstructured":"Brown BD, Hood Watson KL.
