Özet

OBJECTIVE: Both life expectancy and the proportion of the population in elderly are increasing. Therefore, the number of cases of acute appendicitis (AA) among the super-elderly population is increasing. In this study, it is aimed to find the correlations between morbidity and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), albumin and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in super-elderly patients.
