Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate whether C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR), lactate dehydrogenase to albumin ratio (LAR), ferritin to erythrocyte sedimentation rate ratio (FER), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), prognostic nutritional index (PNI) indices and ferritin level can predict organ involvement in adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) patients.Methods: This study was planned as a cross-sectional study. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the usefulness of ferritin level and inflammatory indices in defining organ involvement.Results: Sixty-one patients diagnosed with AOSD were included in this study. Multivariate logistic regression analyzes showed that LAR (OR 1.028, 95% CI: 1.011-1.044) (p = 0.001) index predicted lymphadenopathy involvement, CAR (OR 1.249, 95% CI: 1.087-1.435) (p = 0.002) index predicted hepatomegaly involvement, ferritin level (OR 1.004, 95% CI: 1.001-1.008) (p = 0.007) predicted splenomegaly involvement, FER (OR 1.085, 95% CI: 1.012-1.164) (p = 0.021) and PNI (OR 0.271, 95% CI: 1.132-0.553) (p < 0.001) index predicted the occurrence of serositis.Conclusion: This study showed that ferritin level, CAR, FER, PNI and LAR markers may predict organ involvement at diagnosis in AOSD patients.
