Objective: To determine if the proportion of neutrophils - lymphocytes is a predictor of intestinal resection in incarcerated inguinal hernias. Material and methods: We conducted an observational, analytical study of diagnostic tests, which evaluated 161 patients with incarcerated inguinal hernia in the Surgery department in the Department of General Surgery and Emergency Surgery and Critical Care. Results: 161 patients with incarcerated inguinal hernia were studied, being divided into two groups: Group I (20 patients with intestinal resection) and Group II (141 patients without intestinal resection). The mean age in groups I and II were 69 ± 16 and 60 ± 17 years respectively (p <0.05); the frequency in men was 70% in group I and 76% in group II (p> 0.05). Intestinal obstruction and incarceration duration> 24 hours and Platelets / Lymphocytes showed significant differences. Regarding the proportion of neutrophils-lymphocytes (NLR) taking a cut-off point of ≥ 6.5, sensitivity of 75%, specificity of 93.62%, positive predictive value of 62.5% and negative predictive value of 96.35% were observed; Furthermore, when analyzing with the ROC curve, a value of 5.14 was obtained as a predictor of intestinal resection with a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 84.4% (p <0.001). Therefore, the NLR> 5.14 predicts intestinal resection in patients with incarcerated inguinal hernias, with an area under the curve of 0.92 at the Belén de Trujillo hospital. Conclusions: The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio is useful to predict intestinal resection with a diagnostic accuracy of 94%.
