Objectives: The aim of our study is to determine whether first-trimester neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and plate-let-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) would be useful as new predictors of subsequent preeclampsia.Material and methods: Medical records of women with preeclampsia and healthy controls from a tertiary referral center were retrospectively evaluated. The two groups were compared in terms of clinical characteristics and first-trimester levels of hemoglobin, leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet, NLR and PLR. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was performed to identify the optimal NLR and PLR levels predicting preeclampsia.Results: Neutrophil (p < 0.001), platelet (p < 0.001), NLR (p < 0.001) and PLR (p < 0.001) levels were significantly elevated, whereas hemoglobin concentration (p = 0.003) was significantly lower in the group with preeclampsia as compared to the control group. On multivariate regression analysis, NLR (OR 1.43; 95% CI 1.21-1.76; p = 0.005) and PLR (OR 1.38; 95% CI 1.15-1.63; p = 0.008) were the most powerful predictive variables. The area under the ROC was 0.716 and 0.705 for NLR and PLR, respectively. The cut-off values of NLR = 3.08 and PLR = 126.8 predicted preeclampsia with the sensitivity of 74.6% and 71.8% and specificity of 70.1% and 72.4%, respectively.Conclusions: High NLR and PLR during the first trimester are independent predictors of subsequent preeclampsia.
