Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios and systemic immune-inflammation index in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder

We found that NLR, PLR and SII values, which are easily calculable and cost-effective markers of systemic inflammation, were significantly higher in PTSD patients than in the control group. These values may be considered to identify patients who may benefit from adjuvant anti-inflammatory pharmacological treatment on top of psychotherapeutic treatment.
