Objective
The significance of pre‐hemoglobin‐to‐platelet ratio (HPR) in predicting the occurrence of radiation‐induced trismus (RIT) in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients (LA‐NPC) who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy (C‐CRT).
Methods
The records of LA‐NPC patients with oral examination before and after C‐CRT were analyzed. Maximum mouth openings (MMO) were measured before and...
Objectives
To explore how well a unique combination of hemoglobin‐to‐platelet ratio (HPR) and pretreatment maximum mouth opening (MMO) predicts the prevalence of radiation‐induced trismus (RIT).
Patients and methods
HPR and MMO cutoff values (0.54 and 40.7 mm) divided patients into two groups. To develop the novel HPR‐MMO index, four combinations of these factors were tested for predictive power:...
