    AbstractFracture is associated with osteopenia after osteoporosis. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is common in inflammatory diseases. NLR can be used as an effective clinical tool to assess postmenopausal osteoporosis. The aim of this study is to further explore the relationship between elevated NLR and the severity of osteoporotic vertebrae fractures and femoral neck fracture based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A total of 80 patients with osteoporotic vertebrae fractures, osteoporotic femoral neck fracture in Baoding Second Central Hospital from 2017 to 2020 were selected as the research objects. This study included a series of pretreatment factors, mainly including white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and the general condition of the patients. Statistical methods included Pearson chi-square test, Spearman correlation test, logistic regression analysis and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. According to Pearson chi-square test, Spearman correlation test, univariate/multivariate logistic regression analysis, the severity of osteoporotic vertebrae fractures, osteoporotic femoral neck fracture was significantly correlated with NLR (P < .001). NLR (odds ratio [OR] = 13.229, 95% CI: 4.167-41.998, P < .001) was a significant independent risk factor for osteoporotic vertebrae fractures, osteoporotic femoral neck fracture. receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to detect the specificity and sensitivity. The level of NLR has an important influence on the severity of osteoporotic vertebrae fractures and femoral neck fracture. The higher the level of NLR, the more serious the osteoporotic vertebrae fractures and femoral neck fracture.Copyright © 2022 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
