Abstract

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition marked by recurrent total or partial collapses of the upper airway during sleep, which result in obstructive apneas, hypopneas, and/or respiratory effort-related arousals.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to predict outcome of OSA surgery by Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR).

Patients and methods: This clinical trial study included 24 adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea who conducted at Otorhinolaryngoloy Department of Zagazig University Hospitals. The patients' clinical and demographic data including age, sex, body mass index,predisposing factors and comorbid condition were noticed OSA and differential blood count were obtained before and after surgery.

Results: There is significant higher value of WBCs, Lymphocyte, Neutrophil of severe obstructive apnea compared to moderate obstructive apnea p
