Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of inflammatory biomarkers in distinguishing testicular torsion from epididymo-orchitis in patients with acute scrotum.
Retrospective observational study conducted in an emergency department among men aged 18 and older with testicular pain.
Patients were divided into two groups: testicular torsion (n=93) and epididymo-orchitis (n=125).
The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, systemic immune inflammatory index, and systemic inflammatory response index demonstrated diagnostic power for testicular torsion (AUC: 0.75, 0.77, 0.78).
The pan immune inflammation score surpassed others in detection of testicular torsion with an AUC of 0.81, 95% CI: 0.76-0.86, p<0.001.

Implication

Retrospective study explores inflammatory biomarkers to differentiate testicular torsion from epididymo-orchitis, suggesting impactful diagnostic utility.
