Pairwise Mann–Whitney U tests identified a marginally significant difference between Grade II and Grade IV cytology results ( p = 0.046), but no other inter-group comparisons reached statistical significance.
Pairwise Mann–Whitney U tests identified a marginally significant difference between Grade II and Grade IV cytology results ( p = 0.046), but no other inter-group comparisons reached statistical significance.
Although a nominally significant difference was found between Grade II and Grade IV ( p = 0.0466), this did not remain significant after Bonferroni correction.
Although it is impossible to define a precise NLR threshold above which cytological results would change, the distribution of NLR values indicates a clear trend ( Figure 2 ).
Despite the lack of a definitive threshold, an increasing trend in NLR values was observed with more severe cytological outcomes.
