Correlation Between Neutrophil Lymfocyte Ratio (Nlr) And Platelets Values in Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Patients at Private Hospital Jatiasih Bekasi Period 2019-2021

Abstract

Introduction: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by dengue virus infection. This disease can cause symptoms of thrombocytopenia due to the extensive use of platelets to prevent plasma leakage. Apart from that, predicting the critical period for plasma leakage can be seen from the results of the NLR examination. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the NLR value and the platelet value in DHF patients at one of the Jatiasih Bekasi Private Hospitals for the 2019-2021.

Method: This study uses a quantitative descriptive—retrieval of secondary data by purposive sampling and the Spearman correlation test analysis method. The research was conducted in February - March 2023 in one of the Jatiasih private hospitals—data collection for the period June 2019 to December 2021. The research data will be analyzed using SPSS with the Spearman correlation test method.

Results: The research results obtained data on 74 dengue fever patients. Male gender with an average age of 20-44 years. The results of the Spearman correlation test showed a significant p-value of 0.026, indicating a relationship between NLR and platelets in DHF infection. There is a positive relationship between the NLR test and platelets. This is thought to influence the active cellular immune response to DHF, characterized by an average platelet count.

Conclusion: There is a relationship between the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio value and the platelet count in DHF patients with a weak correlation level.
