| Abstract | Background Systematic inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Neutrophil to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHR) has been considered as a novel inflammatory marker. To date, the clinical association between NHR and fragility fracture is not yet well-known. Thus, the present study explored whether NHR levels in patients with osteoporosis were associated with an increased risk of fragility fracture. Methods This case-control study included 271 osteoporotic patients with and without a history of fragility fracture from January 2017 to December 2021. Laboratory tests and physical examinations were conducted in all participants, and NHR was calculated. Results The mean NHR levels in patients with fragility fractures were significantly higher compared to those without fragility fractures (2.91 ± 1.18 vs. 2.21 ± 0.91, P < 0.001). Additionally, there was a significant positive correlation between NHR and fragility fracture (r = 0.310, P < 0.001). Moreover, we could detect a statistical increment of the area under receiver operating characteristics curve (from 0.681 to 0.805, P < 0.001) upon the combination of NHR and Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) score for determining the presence of fragility fracture among the study patients. In multivariable logistic regression models, elevated NHR level was an independent risk factor for fragility fracture (adjusted OR: 1.924, 95% CI: 1.443–2.564, P < 0.001) when adjusted for alkaline phosphatase and FRAX score. Conclusions As a valuable and convenient inflammatory biomarker calculated from routine blood examinations, NHR might help to identify individuals with osteoporosis who are at high risk of fragility fracture. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
