Early detection of surgical site infection in lumbar spine surgery: The diagnostic superiority of platelet count to mean platelet volume ratio over traditional inflammatory markers

Objectives: Surgical site infection(SSI) following spine surgery is a critical complication impacting patient recovery. Traditional serum inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell count (WBCC) are commonly used to detect SSI. However, the need for earlier diagnostic tools [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
