Background/Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the relationship between peripheral hematological inflammation markers, namely, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and high-grade cervical lesions (CIN2+). Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on 358 patients who underwent cervical excision procedures. Patients were divided into two groups: <CIN2 and CIN2+. Preoperative complete blood count data were used to calculate the inflammation indices. HPV genotypes were also recorded. Logistic regression and ROC analyses were performed to evaluate the predictive performance. Results: CIN2+ lesions were detected in 69.6% of participants. In the univariate analysis, only age and HPV 16 positivity (p < 0.005) showed a significant association with the presence of CIN2+. NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, and SIRI values did not show significant differences between groups (all p > 0.05). In the multivariate analysis, increasing age was independently associated with a decrease in the risk of CIN2+ (OR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.94–0.99), while HPV 16 positivity was associated with an increase in risk (OR = 2.44, 95% CI: 1.43–4.18). ROC analysis showed that combining age and HPV 16 status improved the specificity (85.1%) of predicting CIN2+ compared to using age alone (42.2%). Conclusions: Peripheral haematological inflammation markers (NLR, PLR, MLR, SII, and SIRI) did not show predictive value in predicting CIN2+ lesions. However, age and HPV 16 infection were found to be independent predictors. These findings suggest that haematological indices may reflect systemic inflammatory responses but are not sufficient on their own for the detection of CIN2+. HPV genotyping is of critical importance for the early detection of high-grade lesions.

Background: Ovarian cancer surgery requires multiple radical resections with a high risk of complications. The objective of this single-centre, retrospective study was to identify the factors associated with pulmonary complications following cytoreduction. Methods: The study included 179 patients who underwent surgery at the gynaecological oncology department of the Antalya Training and Research Hospital between January 2015 and December 2021. A univariate analysis was performed to identify significant risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications. The data obtained were then subjected to multivariate analysis to determine the relative importance of each factor. Results: A total of 176 ovarian cancer patients underwent cytoreductive surgical procedures for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) during the study period. Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) occurred in a total of 24 patients (13.4%). Of the complications observed, n = 18 (10.06%) were pulmonary effusion, n = 5 (2.79%) were pulmonary thromboembolism, n = 1 (0.56%) was pneumo-mediastinum, n = 6 (3.35%) were pulmonary oedema, and n = 1 (0.56%) was transfusion-related lung injury (TRALI). Pulmonary complication rates were 6.512 times higher in patients who underwent diaphragm peritonectomy (p = 0.014) and 26.1 times higher in smokers (p = 0.005). When an ROC analysis was performed for quantitative parameters related to pulmonary complications, the sensitivity and specificity of the duration of surgery were 83.3% and 64.5%, respectively, and the sensitivity and specificity of the duration of postoperative hospital stay were 79.2% and 67.5% (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001). Conclusions: An improved understanding of the multifactorial aetiology of PPCs and the development of an appropriate perioperative management strategy may serve to mitigate the negative impact of these complications, thereby contributing to an enhancement in patient outcomes.
