Complete blood count parameters were utilized to predict ovarian torsion cases.</p><p><strong>Result:</strong> Neutrophil (AUC=792, P=&lt;0.001), white blood cell (AUC=787, P=&lt;0.001) counts and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (AUC=770, P=&lt;0.001) were significant predictors for adnexal torsion. Optimal cut off value for white blood cell, neutrophil count and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio were 8.3x103 (72% sensitivity, 73% specificity), 5.5x103 (73% sensitivity, 76% specificity), 2.9 (73% sensitivity, 79% specificity) respectively.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Among all the parameters white blood cell count, neutrophil/lymphocyte and neutrophil count were the most powerful predictors for real adnexal torsion cases. Simple blood count parameters detailed evaluation may help clinicians to confirm or rule out adnexal torsion in cases presented with ovarian cyst and adnexal mass.</p> ER -
