The article discusses research on the diagnostic value of plasma fibrinogen (FIB) in distinguishing osteomyelitis of the jaws (OJ) from oral soft tissue infection (OSTI) after oral cancer surgery. The study analyzed the demographic characteristics of patients, their laboratory testing results and comorbidities. Research findings reveal the influence of age, gender and history of radiotherapy on white blood cell (WBC) and percent of neutrophil (NEUT%) levels.
