Introduction Splenectomy-induced thrombocytosis and leukocytosis may obscure the early diagnosis of post-operative infection or sepsis. In trauma patients after splenectomy, a platelet-to-white blood cell ratio of Objective To determine whether the platelet-to-white blood cell ratio can be applied to differentiate between reactive post-operative changes and latent infection. Methods All consecutive patients with ovarian cancer who underwent splenectomy between January 2013 and October 2018 in two large European gynecological cancer centers were retrospectively evaluated. Main outcome measures were white blood cell count, platelet count, and platelet-to-white blood cell ratio on post-operative days 1, 5, and 7. These were correlated with surgical outcome and morbidity according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. A binomial logistic regression was applied to assess the predictive value of day 5 platelet-to-white blood cell ratio, white blood cell count, and platelet count for predicting grade III post-operative sepsis. Results Ninety-five patients with ovarian cancer (mean age 54 years, range 18-75) were identified. Seventeen patients (17.9%) developed a grade III post-operative sepsis. In all post-operative patients, mean white blood cell count on day 5 decreased (from 15.4x10(3)/mu L to 11.4x10(3)/mu L), while the mean platelet count rose (from 260.7x10(3)/mu L to 385.3x10(3)/mu L). A high platelet count (>313x10(3)/mu L) failed to show any predictive value (OR=0.94; 95% CI 0.30 to 3.0; p=0.921). A low platelet-to-white blood cell ratio (14.5x10(3)/mu L) on day 5 (OR=11.0; 95% CI 3.3 to 36.2; p
