Table 1.
The difference in median values between benign ovarian mass and EOC according to laboratory variables
| Benign ovarian mass, median (IQR) (n=261) |
EOC, median (IQR) (n=229) |
P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age (years) | 35.0 (21.0) | 54.0 (16.0) | <0.001 |
| WBC (per µL) | 6220.0 (2350.0) | 6650.0 (2750.0) | 0.009 |
| Hemoglobin (g/dL) | 13.0 (1.4) | 12.5 (1.8) | <0.001 |
| Platelets (×103/µL) | 253.0 (75.0) | 285.0 (124.0) | <0.001 |
| CA125 (unit/mL) | 19.0 (21.0) | 194.2 (541.5) | <0.001 |
| NLR | 1.9 (1.1) | 2.8 (2.5) | <0.001 |
| PLR | 136.1 (64.2) | 190.1 (138.5) | <0.001 |
| LMR | 5.4 (2.9) | 4.0 (3.1) | <0.001 |
P-values for comparisons of medians were obtained using the Mann-Whitney-U test.
EOC, epithelial ovarian cancer; IQR, interquartile range; WBC, white blood cell; CA125, cancer antigen 125; NLR, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio; PLR, platelet-lymphocyte ratio; LMR, lymphocyte-monocyte ratio
