Bowel ischaemia significantly increases morbidity and mortality from adhesional small bowel obstruction. Current biomarkers and clinical parameters have poor predictive value for ischaemia. Our study investigated whether neutrophil‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet‐lymphocyte ratio (PLR) could be used to predict bowel ischaemia in adhesional small bowel obstruction.
