The CRP/PAB ratio outperforms the LRINEC score in early diagnosis of Fournier's gangrene
The LRINEC score demonstrated only modest discriminative performance in this study. Patients with PAB< 91mg/L and a CRP/PAB≥ 1.52 should undergo careful evaluation for the presence of FG. The elevated CRP/PAB ratio is considered an early indicator for FG, particularly in distinguishing it from deep perianal abscesses. Further investigation is warranted in future studies to support these findings.
