Abstract :Aim Our study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the De-Ritis ratio and prognosis and mortality in patients diagnosed with cholecystitis. Materials and Methods This retrospective observational study was conducted on patients diagnosed with acute cholecystitis who presented to the emergency medical clinic of XXX Hospital between June 1, 2020, and January 1, 2022. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SPSS); software insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(v.20; Chicago, IL, USA); was used for all statistical analyses. All results with p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results In our study, 174 patients were included, and 50.6% of our patients were women. The mean age was 59.0 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(43.2 to 71.8);. A total of 2.29% of our patients died. No statistically significant relationship was found between AST, ALT, CRP, albumin, and the De-Ritis ratio and mortality insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.584, p=0.533, p=0.517, p=0.07, p=0.399, respectively);. When mortality rates in operated patients were examined, no statistically significant correlation was found between AST, ALT, CRP, albumin, and De-Ritis rates and mortality insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.248, p=0.315, p=0.451, p=0.183, p=0.688, respectively); Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, no study has examined the relationship between cholecystitis and the De-Ritis ratio. De-Ritis ratio is not used as a prognostic marker in patients with cholecystitis.
