Abstract

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of clinical characteristics and hematological inflammatory markers, including the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), in differentiating benign and malignant endometrial pathologies. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 395 patients who underwent endometrial sampling between January 2017 and December 2024 at a tertiary referral center. Patients were classified into benign (n=195) and malignant (n=200) groups based on histopathological findings. Clinical variables (age, body mass index [BMI], gravida, comorbidities, and presenting complaints) and hematological parameters were analyzed. Inflammatory indices, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and SII, were calculated. Statistical analyses were performed using the Mann–Whitney U test and chi-square test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to assess diagnostic performance. Results Significant associations were observed between pathological groups and clinical parameters, including age (p 0.05). ROC analysis demonstrated poor diagnostic performance for platelet (AUC=0.560) and PLR (AUC=0.593). Conclusion Clinical characteristics, particularly age, BMI, hypertension, and reproductive history, are strong predictors of endometrial malignancy. In contrast, hematological inflammatory markers, including SII, have limited diagnostic utility and should not be used as standalone tools. These findings highlight the importance of comprehensive clinical evaluation and suggest that future research should focus on integrated predictive models combining clinical and laboratory parameters.

Özet

Amaç Bu çalışmanın amacı, sistemik immün-inflamasyon indeksi (SII) dahil olmak üzere klinik özellikler ve hematolojik inflamatuvar belirteçlerin benign ve malign endometrial patolojilerin ayırıcı tanısındaki değerini değerlendirmektir. Yöntem Bu retrospektif kohort çalışmasına, Ocak 2017 ile Aralık 2024 tarihleri arasında üçüncü basamak bir merkezde endometrial örnekleme yapılan 395 hasta dahil edildi. Hastalar histopatolojik bulgulara göre benign (n=195) ve malign (n=200) gruplara ayrıldı. Klinik değişkenler (yaş, vücut kitle indeksi [VKİ], gravida, komorbiditeler ve başvuru şikayetleri) ile hematolojik parametreler analiz edildi. Nötrofil/lenfosit oranı (NLR), platelet/lenfosit oranı (PLR) ve SII dahil inflamatuvar indeksler hesaplandı. İstatistiksel analizlerde Mann–Whitney U testi ve ki-kare testi kullanıldı. Tanısal performansı değerlendirmek amacıyla ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) eğrisi analizi yapıldı. Bulgular Patolojik gruplar ile yaş (p 0,05). ROC analizi, trombosit (AUC=0,560) ve PLR’nin (AUC=0,593) düşük tanısal performansa sahip olduğunu gösterdi. Sonuç Özellikle yaş, VKİ, hipertansiyon ve reprodüktif öykü gibi klinik özellikler endometrial malignitenin güçlü belirleyicileridir. Buna karşın, SII dahil hematolojik inflamatuvar belirteçlerin tanısal yararı sınırlıdır ve tek başına kullanılmamalıdır. Bu bulgular kapsamlı klinik değerlendirmenin önemini vurgulamakta olup, gelecekteki çalışmaların klinik ve laboratuvar parametrelerini birleştiren entegre prediktif modellere odaklanması gerektiğini düşündürmektedir.
