To assess the relationship between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and enlarged perivascular spaces in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Cross-sectional analysis of patients with type 2 diabetes
Measurement of NLR levels
Assessment of brain imaging for perivascular spaces
NLR is a predictor of moderate-to-severe enlargement of perivascular spaces
NLR demonstrates diagnostic accuracy for identifying cerebral small vessel disease
Abstract
The NLR independently predicts moderate-to-severe BG and CSO enlarged perivascular spaces in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and exhibits diagnostic accuracy for cerebral small vessel disease.
