METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS IN ONCOLOGICAL PATIENTS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61B10/00 G01N33/53 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to predict an adverse postoperative course with respect to postoperative purulent-septic complications, and also early postoperative progression of a tumour in the oncological patients. In the preoperative period, a relative peripheral blood content of lymphocyte CD3 + and CD 16 + subpopulations is evaluated, and a lymphocytic index is calculated by formula LI = [CD3+]-0.5[CD16+], where LI is a lymphocytic index; - [CD3+] and [CD16+] represent relative cell number of the corresponding lymphocyte subpopulations in a blood sample, in percentage. The value LI≤35 enables to predict high risk of development of postoperative purulent-septic complications and/or progression of tumour process.

EFFECT: at the preoperative stage, the method allows detecting a group of risk of development of purulent-septic complications.
