The Effect of Aerobic Exercise on Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio, Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio and Lymphocyte-Monocyte Ratio in Burn Patients: A Randomized Controlled Study

Overview

In the study, it was planned to investigate the Effect on Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio, Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio and Lymphocyte-Monocyte Ratio in burn patients by creating 2 different exercise groups. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio and lymphocyte-monocyte ratios in burn patients.

Burn injuries are a trauma that is seen due to causes such as flame, hot liquid, radiation, chemical, cold or electricity and causes destruction in the skin and/or organic tissues due to energy transfer. Burn injuries cause profound hypermetabolic and catabolic responses that can last for months or even years. Especially in burn patients with involvement of more than 20% of the total body surface area (TVSA), lipolysis, proteolysis, glycolysis, and hyperdynamic and high fever, Many severe hypermetabolic responses are seen. These hypermetabolic responses seen in patients lead to decrease in lean muscle mass, inflammation, deterioration of cardiovascular, endocrine and glucose systems, coagulopathy, deterioration of fibrinolytic activity, decrease in functional capacity, delay in wound healing, weakening of the immune system and serious mortality. In severely burned patients, the resting metabolic rate may exceed 140% of normal. Various parameters are used to monitor all these systemic responses of the burn. Various scores have been developed in the clinic, especially using inflammatory cells such as neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes and platelets. In the literature, major diseases such as cancer, heart diseases and burns It has been stated that a systemic inflammation occurs due to trauma and calculations of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio and lymphocyte-monocyte ratios are prognostic indicators. Exercise in burn patients; It is a highly effective method with high evidence value in minimizing the effects of the hypermetabolic response caused by the burn, preventing muscle atrophy, increasing the pulmonary function and functional capacity, reducing the inflammatory response and healing the burn.
